He was the backseat passenger in his own car, he was out with 2 co-workers after work, one of which was driving his car. It is still unknown whether she fell asleep or was drunk but regardless, they were on a back, curvy road and between 2-5am Sunday, hit a tree going at least 50 mph. They were last seen around 2am and it wasn't until 5am that they were found, all unconscious. He was airlifted to a trauma center and never regained any form of consciousness even after a surgery in his brain to reduce swelling. The doctors said that it was just too late, too much hypoxia, lack of oxygen to his brain had already occured. It is believed t
hat he felt no pain because his neuro-system was impacted at the crash as well. The two other girls were reportedly released from the hospital yesterday and don't remember what happened. There was a designated driver who was at the bar with them, but left early w/o them because when she was ready to leave, they weren't. that designated driver has called the hospital everyday to apologize and my parent
s have accepted that apology. I don't know why God could allow this to happen but He never makes mistakes and I have to believe there's a purpose. Today, we found out that purpose was for others to carry Manny's funkiness in their lives. He just got his license, the first time ever, last year, I took him to the DMV and he was soooo nervous. I clearly remember helping him get the paperwork in order and filling out the drivers license application. When he got to the box that said "check" for being an organ donor, he asked me something along the lines of "whats this?" and I told him what it meant...w/o hesitation, matter of factly he replied something like "why would anyone NOT check this, SHOOT! Today matches were made for his heart and liver and more will be confirmed by tomorrow....all I can think about now is that his life will give several others second chances, just like he has been given a second chance. God is good.
