Manuel Mercado Jr.
We Love You, Pops
Our loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather died peacefully at home in the early morning hours of September 15th, 2012, with his family by his side.
He was born in Florence, CO on February 7, 1936 to Manuel Mercado Sr. and Annie Ramirez. He married his High School sweetheart, Julie Zavala on August 25, 1956 and together they had four children. He was a lifelong miner working for AMAX and Owens Corning before retiring. Manuel had a great sense of humor and filled the hearts of all who he met with laughter, even to the end. Family was most important to him and he especially enjoyed being with his grandkids and great-grandkids. His family will miss him deeply.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Julie; children Chris (Gloria), Tina (Chad) Dalpiaz, Denise (Ronnie) Talbot; grandchildren Tim, Sheila, Michelle, Desirae, Chance, Kyra, Kiana, Breylin and Broc; five great-grandchildren; siblings Salvador (Pearl), Isabel, Dorothy, Ernistina, Louisa and Virginia; and many, many close friends.
He is preceded in death by his son, Pete; sisters Emma, Theresa, Rosie, Gloria; and brother, Roy; and brother-in-law Victor, who he was very close to and shared many adventures.
Viewing will be held from 6:00 until 8:00 PM on Wednesday, September 19th at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 4501 West 5215 South, Kearns, where a vigil will begin at 7:00 PM. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, September 20th at 1:00 PM, also at the church. Interment will follow at Valley View Cemetery, 4335 West 4100 South.
Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at IMC and Aspen Ridge Rehab for their loving care.

Review by Tim Brough for Rating: If you're looking for a Cheap Trick pemrir, this proabably your best bet. Out of all the odd-ball hits collections that CBS/Sony dumped on the market, this is the only one that the band had a hand in. With the exception of the remastered version of the original The Greatest Hits, those other CDs were, anyways, pretty much junk. The sound upgrade makes it worth having over any of the other budget line discs glutting the market. Authorized Greatest Hits also boasts a beefier song selection than the 14 to be found on the remastered Greatest Hits. BUT . It is a well established fact that Cheap Trick HATES The Flame. But did they have to substitute a lackluster live version for the superior studio one? And even if That Seventies Show (In The Street) is driving us crazy on TV, it is not a very inspired recording. Still, you get Surrender, I Want You To Want Me (Live), and Dream Police, three of the best songs to rock a radio during the seventies. Plus, there are a couple overlooked goodies here, such as She's Tight, Walk Away, Stop This Game, and Everything Works If You Let It to make you covet this CD. Had the single version of The Flame been included, this would have been the 5-star retrospective of Cheap Trick that we've been waiting for.
