Manuel Olmos Jr., an amazing father, husband, son, brother, and friend, was tragically taken from us on February 9, 2017. He was born on July 15, 1984 to Leticia and Manuel Olmos Sr. in Rupert Idaho. He graduated from Tooele High School in 2002 and later went on to become an exceptional employee and manager for Henderson Wheel where he was greatly loved by all he worked with. On April 11, 2014, he married the love of his life, Megan (Pacheco) and they had two children together Lyric (5), Aiden (3) and Manuel had Emilio (18) from a previous relationship. Manuel was best known for his love of family and friends, especially his kids, they were his world. His loyalty to each and everyone he knew was endless. He would do anything for them and in a time of need, would drop everything to support and lend a helping hand. Manuel could light up a room with his presence alone. He had a smile and laugh that were so contagious and vibrant. He loved to make people laugh and used it to brighten up someone’s day. This is one of many things we all loved about Manuel and is what made him who he was. Manuel was preceded in death by his grandparents Siriaco Olmos, Maria Rodriguez and a cousin, Lois Rivera. Manuel is survived by his wife Megan; three children, Emilio, Lyric, Aiden; Parents Leticia and Manuel Olmos, Grandma, Anjelita Montes; Grandpa, Teodoro Rivera; Brothers Ricardo Solis (Charity Torres), Javier Olmos, Carlos (Destiny Salazar) Olmos and Max (Leandra) Ramirez; Special friends, Sylvester, Joe & Dustin Hillyard; Many other cousins, nieces and nephews and countless friends.
