Manuel (Shorty) Medina Funeral Fund
Donation protected
It is with great sadness that we
announce the passing of our be-
loved Manuel “Shorty” Medina,
on July 26th, 2020. He received
his nickname as a young boy and
it stuck with him, even though he
ended up being the tallest in his
family. He was born in Glenwood
Springs, CO on July 7th, 1983 and
was a lifelong resident of Gyp-
sum, CO. Shorty started working
at a young age for M & M Tire &
Auto, a family-owned business
named after him and his brother
Matt, and quickly learned how to
master changing a tire and mak-
ing a friend at the same time. He
could develop a lifelong friendship
within a few minutes of meeting
someone and always referred to
everyone he knew as his “buddy.”
You couldn’t find a friendlier tire
man in the valley. He loved the
Colorado mountains and anything
to do with the outdoors, especial-
ly hunting, fishing and boating.
Above all else, his greatest joy was
his daughter Mariah. Shorty had a
heart of gold and was loved by all
who knew him. He will be remem-
bered as someone who was always
ready and willing to lend a helping
hand to anyone in need and known
for leaving an everlasting impact
on all of those who knew him. With
Shorty gone there’s a hole left in
our hearts, but we know for him,
it’s just the beginning of an eterni-
ty with his Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. He is survived by his daugh-
ter Mariah, girlfriend Nicole Sisne-
ros, parents Manny and Darlene
Medina of Florence, CO, grandma
Frances Quintana of Minturn, CO,
sister Lennea (Bill) Richardson of
Royse City, TX, brother Matt (Jer-
ilynn) Medina of Gypsum, CO,
nephews Marcus and Matthew,
nieces Kaylene, Rachel, Mattilynn
and Amylynn, along with numer-
ous aunts, uncles and cousins. He
was preceded in death by his ma-
ternal grandfather Isidoro Quin-
tana, paternal grandfather Juan
Manuel Medina, paternal grand-
mother Adelina Medina and uncle
OJ Quintana. A celebration of his
life will be announced at a later
date. In lieu of flowers, the family
has requested that donations be
made to help with Funeral costs. All Donations will go directly to Shorty’s parents for Funeral Costs. Thank you!!
