Efren is predeceased by his parents: Jose Muniz Jimenez and Virginia Diaz Sandoval, siblings: Eloisa, Concepcion, Jose, Maria, Jesus, Juan, Vicente and Salvador. It was only 6 months ago that his brother Salvador Muniz Diaz left this earth to be by our Lord's side. Efren, devastated by the loss of his best friend, found eternal rest several months later. Efren is lovingly remembered and survived by his sister, Hermelinda and by his niece Silvia Olivera,. He will also be terribly missed by his loving grandnieces and grandnephews as they considered him their second father: Yolanda, Blas, Jaime, Tatiana and Cristian, also by his great grandnieces, Naomi, Jada, Jameelah, Roslyn, Somaya, Aaliyah and Silvia and by the many countless family members that loved him. Efren came to live with his niece Silvia Olivera, her husband, Blas Olivera and their children, Yolanda, Blas, Jaime, Tatiana and Cristian 26 years ago. He was immediately made a part of their family. He became a part of the many memories the Olivera Muniz family shared and was an extremely important part of their family. The countless memories created will be imbedded in the lives of those who considered him their second father, uncle, grandpa and friend. Efren's contagious laughter and smile brightened everyone around him with his presence. He was a giving, self-less man who found joy and happiness in taking care of others. Efren entered the United States in the early 70s and began working in the orchards until his retirement. Efren loved to read and would often be found reading his cowboy novels. He was a charismatic jokester by nature who loved to make those around him laugh and smile. The chemistry between his older brother, Salvador and him was undoubtedly one of the best as they would love to play pranks on each other. Efren loved having stimulating conversations where he would talk about foreign world affairs and politics for hours and would always share advise for others as he was a very wise and loving man.
