It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Manuel Berrios, who left us on 3-21-2025. Manuel was born to Juana Gonzalez and Manuel Rodriguez, and was a cherished son, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend.

Manuel is survived by his siblings, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and many friends who will forever remember his kind soul and warm heart.

Manuel was born in Barranquitas Puerto Rico, and worked as a plumbing supply manufacturer.  A creative and passionate individual, Manuel had a love for drawing and playing the guitar. He found joy in expressing himself through his art and music, bringing beauty into the world with each stroke of his colored pencils and each chord played.  A peaceful and reflective spirit, Manuel enjoyed walking around his beloved neighborhood in Brooklyn, where he connected with the sights and sounds of the community he called home.

Manuel's gentle nature and kind-heartedness left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to have known him.  His legacy of creativity and compassion will live on through the memories and love he leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Blanco. You will forever be in our hearts.
