I am so sorry for your loss from the Dutchover  family. We grew up together living right across the street from them. I will always remember his mom fixing lunch for him and his policeman friends and his Mother always giving him the sign of the cross before he left back to work. You shall be in my prayers and thoughts.

To The Family of Manuel... May the Holy Spirit Comfort You as You go thru this Storm. Worked with Manuel at OPD... For 5 years... Laughed Alot, learned Alot, And Respected him even More!!! Stay Strong and God Bless You All...

Manuel was one my best friends and taught me so much as a police officer. He was loved by so many, even the bad guys highly respected him. He treated everyone with respect and dignity. The stories with this fine man are too numerous to mention. I pray for the family during these difficult times. Even though the years and circumstances have caused us to drift apart, I will never forget you my friend. There never was any doubt you always had my back.

My condolences to the family. I worked with Manuel at the Ellen Noel Art Museum. Was always ready with a great story. Shalom to the family.

Dear Bernadette, Manny, Celeste and family,

Very sorry for the loss of your loved one.  Worked with Manuel for over 25 years and he was a very good officer and person.   He could always be counted on and served the City of Odessa very well.  I too have eaten many great meals at his parents home.  He was a caring, loving person and I always enjoyed his excellent spirit.  He would give you the shirt off his back.

I will pray that the Lord gives you peace and comfort during this very difficult time.  I know his faith was very strong and it is not "good bye" but "good night" Manuel, because we will will see him again.   Rest in Peace my Brother.  Jim Dodson Retired OPD

Rest in peace cuz will be missed. My condolences to the Fuentes family and Bernadette.Had great times together at your home in odessa.

Manuel taught me so much. He was a very tough, effective, streetsmart patrolman and detective, but also funny and considerate of others. I loved the pool tournament parties he and Bernadette hosted at their house. So many good memories of a great man.

asking God to provide the family with peace and His amazing grace.  rip old friend.  you were one of the good guys!   rick cates, odessa fire dept. retired

Manuel was my training officer when I started at OPD.  We had some good times together and I considered him one of my best friends.  When we were working day shift we would go over to his mom and dad's house to eat lunch and she would call me baby face.  He married Bernadette and she was a funny and good lady.  I will pray for her and her family.  Rest in Peace Manuel.
