PHOENIX (AP) - Carlos Manuel Sandoval lived for decades in Phoenix on the edge of the Sonoran Desert, but he never stopped hearing the siren call of his birthplace - Guaymas, Mexico.
More than a quarter-century after he moved with his family to Phoenix and they all became U.S. citizens, Sandoval traveled back to the fishing port of Guaymas and other coastal communities on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez at least once a year, often more.
He kept his home in Phoenix for his wife, whose mother and sisters lived there, and his children, where they married and started their own families.

Known as Don Manuel, Sandoval was 65 when he died June 30 of complications from COVID-19. By then, he had nine grandchildren, two great-grandkids and a body marked with scars from various operations, including two kidney transplants.
