Donald Mansir Obituary

GARDINER - Donald R. Mansir, 60, of Libby Hill Road, passed away on Thursday, April 25, 2019, at his residence. He was born July 28, 1958, the son of Donald J. and Lorraine Quirion Mansir.



Don was a man who started from the bottom and made it "ON TOP." He was a man who thrived to succeed at a business and did so at "Mansir's Roofing and Siding, LLC." Don was a great friend to all and a best friend to most. He had a huge heart, but at the same time, would tell you like it was. His passions were his family, his grandchildren, coaching, darts, always giving to his community, but most importantly, knowing he was a "mama's boy."



Surviving are his wife, Mary H. Benitez-Mansir; mother, Lorraine Mansir; sons, Caine Mansir, Jesse Mansir, and Phillepe Benitez; daughters, Anna and Mary Benitez; brother, Jeff Mansir; sister, Mechele Mansir Smith; grandchildren, Caine Mansir Jr., Cameron and Carly Mansir, Alana and Karah Leighton, Dominick Dow, Regan and Wyatt Fraser; and nephews. He'll always be carried on by his best friend, Merry Krechkin.



Services will be private.



Arrangements are by Staples Funeral and Cremation Care, 53 Brunswick Ave., where condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family on the obituary page of our website: familyfirstfuneralhomes.com

My condolences to the Mansir family. Many words can be used to describe what kind of man he was: charitable, compassionate, animated, and loving. He was an enthusiastic coach, honest and successful business owner, and most importantly a devout family man. Donnie truly was one of a kind. Until we meet again, rest in peace friend.

I am so heart broken at this news. Donny was a great man. We shared many many nights and days alone together. I cherish the memories that we created together and will never forget his laugh, commitment to his community, and his steadfast personality. You always knew where you stood with this Boy! He was truthful if nothing else. What a champion he became through his years.
