Covering the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year, Manzano had previously spoken about the growing popularity of the Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City. “Bringing that to the Spanish community because the Hispanics and Latinos—they’ve supported soccer culturally and historically, but there’s always a space where football can be the favorite sport. That’s why I think it’s important,” he told KSNT-TV last year.

His final social media post featured a Super Bowl 2025 sign, expressing gratitude for covering his third consecutive Super Bowl, as the Chiefs aimed for their third championship.

A tragic history of loss

Manzano’s wife, Ashleigh LeeAnn Boyd, was killed in a car accident on April 11, 2024, according to CBS affiliate WIBW.

Her obituary described her as “the kindest, most caring, beautiful person. Her sparkling personality was contagious and would light up any room she walked into. She was a ray of sunshine and always had a smile on her face.”

The couple leaves behind their young daughter, Eleanor.
