Manny loved playing slow pitch softball and being at the park and never turned down an opportunity to join a team or a game. Manny loved rodeos and spending time with his family. He had an infectious smile and will be dearly missed by those who had the pleasure of knowing him and being a part of his life.

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we have come to the decision not to proceed with a memorial for our dad, Manuel A. Soto. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of all of our family and friends we cannot in good conscience put others at risk by gathering together. This decision was not an easy one to come to but we as a family feel it is the right one and necessary during these uncertain times. We would like to thank you all for the outpouring of love and support during this most difficult time. We will miss him every day until we see him again, but we know he is watching over us. If you would like to send a card of condolence the address is 2524 W. Vereda De La Tierra, Tucson, AZ, 85746. We thank you for your understanding.
