Jose Manuel Merito

Jose "Manny" Manuel Merito, beloved son, brother, uncle, and amazing friend, unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, in Ogden, Utah at the age of 22. Manny was born on March 6, 2000, in Ogden, Utah to Juan and Patricia Merito. Unfortunately for Manny, he had a rough start to life being born a premature baby, and at the age of 4 he was involved in a car accident which resulted in lifelong epileptic seizures. Even though he had a rough beginning he still found a way to make the best out of his life and those around him.

Manny was the life of the party everywhere he went; he always had the biggest smile on his face and always made everybody laugh. He was sweet, kind, friendly, and loved by many. Manny loved his niece and nephews and was so good to all the little kids. He loved video games and music and would always zone out with his headphones in. He was a hard worker and loved his job and the friends he made at Wendy's.

Manny was special to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him and will be deeply missed but always remembered.

Manny is survived by his parents Juan and Patricia Merito, his siblings Freddy (Chelsea), Wendy (Bryson), Daniel, and Arlene, and his niece and nephews Kleidy, Klayden, Devin and Derek. Services for Manny will be held on April 15th, 2022, at Leavitt’s Mortuary & Aultorest Memorial Park, 836 36th Street, Ogden, Utah 84403. A viewing will be held at 1pm, followed by funeral services.
