Goodbye to a dear friend

April 5, 2016

Emmanuel Arzate was a friend to The Prospector, he visited the office regularly and interacted with the professional and student staff. His presence will be missed. -Editorial Staff

Emmanuel Arzate, or as we all called him Manny, was a class act. I had the honor, as well as staff of Student Publications of meeting Manny when he was running for Senator at Large about six years ago. He was a person who could easily make friends and that is exactly what happened when he first came in to our office. From that day on, Manny would stop by when he was at the Union Building to say hello to us and to catch up. He always had a smile for us and would make us laugh with his stories and wonderful sense of humor. We had the pleasure of getting to know him because of the great conversations he would always have to offer. Manny was a good example for everyone, an example of perseverance, and example of being unstoppable despite any circumstance. I’m not going to pinpoint a favorite memory with him, but I will say that he brightened up my day anytime I would see him. – Veronica Gonzalez Asst. Director-Advertising, The Prospector

Manny was such an easy person to get along with and his love for life and people shine through him always! I always enjoyed talking to him about insurance stuff, school, life and his dog. He will truly be missed here at The Prospector! Thank you Manny for being such a blessing to all of us. – Isabel Castillo Accounting Specialist, The Prospector

    Heaven has truly received an angel today; I remember Emmanuel (Emmy) from his days back at the Boys and Girls Clubs when he was just 10 years old; if you had the pleasure of meeting him, you were truly blessed. May God have mercy on your soul buddy, God Bless your family that you left behind to carry on your legacy. RIP ‪#‎PicksUp
