Our hero -

Manuel Alicea was born on January 12, 1945.  In 1950, he emigrated to New York City with his father, Manuel, his mother, Carmen and his brother, Rafael.  In 1966, he married his high school sweetheart, Alma.  In 1967, his first son, Manuel Dean was born. He was also the loving father of Daniel (1973), Darcie (1975) and Darrien (1982).

In 1972, Manuel Alicea gave his life to Jesus Christ.  Five years later, he took his first pastorship in the Bronx, New York.  In 1982, he became the pastor of a church in Queens, now called, Jesus Christ Tabernacle / Tabernaculo de Jesucristo. 

Pastor Alicea impacted the lives of all that his godly example touched until he went home to be with his Savior in 2005.

We will never be the same.  May the flame of His Spirit and of compassionate your love burn forever, in us.  Thank you, for so much.

My Pastor for Ever

Maria Valentin Sep 25, 2009

I have always remembered the Alicea family as God's gift to me and my family. I met Pastor Manny when I was seven years old. He was the kindest gentleman I have ever met. He was so understanding and possesed the ability to make you feel the presence of God. My strongest memory of him is, how he made my dad feel comfortable enough to visit the Bronx church. My dad was very stubborn and used to drink alot. Brother Manny embraced him as if he always knew him. When I saw the smile on my Dad's face while they spoke, I thanked the Lord for having there paths cross. Not to mention the friendship sister Alma offered my mother. Thirty something years later, I am grateful beyond words. May we all be as lucky again. God Bless You.

My Memory

A real man of God. I'm still remember his laughter, patience and love for others. He will always be in our hearts forever.

One day we'll meet in heaven and celebrate Jesus together!
Love always,

Loyalty

David V. Jun 22, 2009

If you knew Brother Manny, then you knew what loyalty might look like if it were human. From the NY Yankees to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Brother Manny, as I knew and called him, was simply loyal. I have many memories with him and will always cherish his reason and purpose in my life.

On a different note, I'll never forget his easy method of the tie-knot. Back in 1992 when I was just starting out in drum playing at church he found me by the men's room mirror struggling to make a tie know work. He asks, " Hey Dave, want me to show you the quick way" and he patiently showed me how to make a knot. I still use his tie knot method to this day. See you on the other side Brother Manny,
Dave.
