Manuel Aispuro Zavala

Manuel Zavala, Jr was born and raised here in Salem. He was the eldest with seven siblings; four brothers and three sisters. He was a son, a brother, a cousin, an uncle, and a father to a beautiful little girl. Besides having his daughter, his other biggest achievement and greatest joy was accomplishing his education goal of getting his GED.

Manuel was passionate about all types of music and especially about football. He was liked by many and deeply loved by the few people he kept in his journey through life. One of his most favorite artists has two quotes that all who knew Manuel will agree that pretty much sums him up.

"I just say whatever I want to whoever I want whenever I want wherever I want however I want"
"I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People with either love you for it or hate you for it." Eminem.

Manuel will always be deeply embedded in our hearts.
