My prayers go out to the Mendoza family Manny worked with me at Navy Pier security for several years. He was the most energetic and reliable member of the security team. He could be counted on to always do the right thing. His Marine Corps and Chicago Police training and experience made him to be a valuable asset. His outgoing attitude and smiling face made it a pleasure to work with him on the Department and the Pier.

You were a trusted colleague and good friend.  I miss our phone calls.  Peace to you and your family.

Deepest condolences to the Mendoza family for your loss. I was one of many, many people who worked with Manny, and greatly enjoyed every minute of it. After his military service, after his law enforcement service, he continued to make his community safer by utilizing all that experience as a trainer and educator. That's where I got to interact with him - and he was really in his element, telling stories and interacting on a personal level with students. He stepped up to serve again and again during his time here, and we sincerely thank the Mendoza family for sharing him with the rest of us for just a little while.

Mendoza Family- 
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Manny was a great man. I could tell how much he loved his family. I have many fond memories of him at EPE with Brianna, Brian and Mya. I always liked talking with him at dismissal about politics, the Marine Corp  and his love for his family. When my dad passed he brought me many USMC decals to give to my family. Manny will be missed. All my support for you during this hard time and prayers for strength. 
Fondly- 
Danielle and Giana Perns 

Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains.  Manny will be remembered at the next Police Mass.

In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God!   [Police Chaplains Ministry: www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]


Sadly I have lost another Marine Corps Brother due to illness. I met Manny at Fort Bragg while attending a school. 

Manny was a really funny guy. We made each other laugh which also brought down wrath from higher ups who were too serious for life.  I’ll remember him always.  He was a devoted husband,  father, Marine, and Chicago Police Officer. He had a passion for and was an avid collector of Hot Wheels cars Anytime I saw Hot Wheels, I always thought of him and if I saw a unique one I’d take a pic and send it to him. 
Fair Winds and Following Seas my Brother.  Until we meet again in Valhalla. 

Semper Fi Gunny. The world will be less without you.

From Gregg, Michelle, Kelsey and Kyle Fortier

We were friends, partners, and you had such an impact on my life.   From working in the 19th district, Navy Pier and all those fests... Seemed like all we did was work.  I always enjoyed the times we would get together for lunch or dinner... we were always laughing.

I want to thank you for being a friend, working so hard for your family and just being yourself.

Thank you, Gregg Fortier,

 

The family will keep you in our hearts forever! We'll miss you cousin! My prayers are with Letty, your children and grandchildren now and always. Rest in Peace, cousin.

All I can say is that Manny was more than a Marine and a Chicago Police Officer. He was my brother 3 times. We worked together in all 3 places. I will miss him greatly. I will send a video of our Marine unit and photos shortly. I thank you all for sharing him in my life. We love you Manny.


I will miss seeing Manny as we walked to our cars or were in the backyard. I always felt safe knowing that Manny was my neighbor. He was always kind and happy, even when we were outside shoveling feet of snow.  Sending my love to the family. 

I love this picture. I have nothing but respect for them..   Our condolences to Letty, Nancy,  & the children . 

So sorry for your loss . Knowing the Gunny only briefly , I am proud to say he was my brother Marine.

Thank you for everything brother! Your warrior spirit will always live on! Manny impacted countless people for the better! I will miss all the humorous banter we had together at TARA! Manny’s noble service to our country will never be forgotten! May the Mendoza family find peace and comfort during this difficult time. God bless you all! 

I served with Manny on the Police Department. He was my Marine Brother and Police Brother! I will miss you my friend, Rest In Peace! Semper FI

             May Manny"s loving family be comforted in some way by knowing that he was loved and appreciated by those who knew him. Manny had a magnetic presence and an outstanding sense of humor.
              He will be greatly missed.

My condolences to his wife and family. 
Manny and I worked together a lot at Navy Pier security. He was always energetic and willing to help in any way he could. He was a great CPD officer and a proud USMC NCO. He will be missed but never forgotten.

I pray that we all may find comfort in the love of friends and family and never forget the cherished memories of our beloved family member Manuel, that we continue to remember and treasure for our entire life.  God Bless Us All.

I looked forward to teaching the Radiation Class for Polaris/Chicago Fire Department with Manny!
You knew it was going to be a good day!
Manny had a great combination of knowledge, humor, stories and professionalism! He made sure his students learned the importance of the material. 
Manny was a great teacher and more importantly a great person!
Kevin Ryan CFD .

Will always remember Manny fondly. From Mrs. Larson 5-6th Grade at  St. John Berchmans to him teaching a class of First Responders about observational techniques. Manny, we may have worked for different departments, you CPD me CCDOC, but you always called me brother and that meant alot. 
Rest peacefully my brother, we'll take it from here. 💙🇺🇸⚘️

🙏🏼To the Mendoza family. Manny’s The Real Deal. He’s someone you can count on. He is a man of Faith. He’s a friend. He will be missed. We will keep his family in our Prayers 💙🇺🇸🥲                                                                                              Sincerely, Tanya Neita

One of the Finest Men I have ever met. We met collecting Hot Wheels, but we we're Brothers in Blue. Manny was the kind of guy that I wish, as a Police Officer, I could have worked for and with. Everything was about Respect and Honor. A True Hero and American. A true Family man. I Pray for your Family. God has called a Warrior Home to Protect the Kingdom of Heaven where Manny will be watching over us all. We Have the Watch My Brother.
