Jesus "Konek" Manuel Renteria torres
There's no words to describe the loss of a great dad, a good friend and a bright young man.. we love and miss you every day.
At the young age of 23 this young man had experienced things most 40 yr old men probably never have, he came from a family of 5 siblings , he was the middle child and the only male .. surrounded by women.. until the age of 8 when he left home... yes, Manuel (adressed by his middle name) was only 8 yrs old when he was out of his home due to respect for his parents won't go into detail about why, but the things he went through as a child only made him a good person to those who deserved to be treated good .. he was fond of older women, maybe because he lacked his own mother's love and attention.. growing up it was always his oldest sister Sarai who looked out for him.. he was very charismatic and easy to get along with.. some ppl disliked him from the moment they met him maybe because his confidence could be interpret like someone very full of himself.. but even those who didn't like him respected him... he had the courage of a lion.. in 2020 HE met Karen Vazquez the mother of his child . Hiis son (Manuel Antonio Renteria Vazquez ) was born on July 24 2020 .. "Konek" was proud to have a son .. was present at the time of birth, this little life that was now under his care changed him in a way he couldn't describe.. unfortunately , Two weeks after their sons birth "Koneks" own father was deseased, due to a drug overdose.. during the time of his dad's death Konek was not speaking to his father , they had gotten into an altercation about a week prior to Basilios death (koneks father) this would haunt konek for the rest of his time here on earth... the relationship ended , and "konek" spent some time in prison.. when he was released He and Karen tried to work things out but the relationship didn't survive due to substance abuse .. konek decided to check into a rehab without telling Karen hopping that his mother or sisters would notify her but no one ever did.. when he escaped rehab , he did so because his mother lied to him about the whereabouts of his son and his fiancee, he still referred to her as his future wife.. but when he got to the house where his family was living he was surprised to see that Karen had moved on ... she explained that no one told her where he was .. she even presumed him deseased.. this took a toll on konek , the resentment he felt towards his family he tried to hide.. leading him to relapse back into the substances he had just managed to let go of.. everything he was hopeful for was now out of his hands.. and he decided to move on.. unfortunately he was caught up in a toxic relationship with a woman 15 years his senior and was constantly out on the street, He had nowhere to turn to , but Karen, She always welcomed him in her home when no one else would. Unfortunately he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, in the wrong relationship, with no one to direct him in the right path and on april 23 he was robbed of the bright life he could of had.. he will be remembered for that beautiful smile that he had and for the courage most men now a days don't
possess... will always live in the hearts of those who truly loved him..
