Nicholas Manning Obituary
Nick was born Feb. 11, 1991, in La Crosse, Wis., to Kevin and Joan (Sweeney) Manning. He was baptized at St. Olaf Catholic Church in Mabel and confirmed at Assumption Catholic Church in Canton. In 2009, he graduated from the Mabel-Canton High School, and in 2010 graduated from the Carpentry Program at Minnesota State College Southeast Technical. He managed the Village Farm and Home in Mabel with his parents.
He was a member of St. Olaf Catholic Church, the Mabel Fire Department, Mabel Ambulance, and the Lions Club. He grew up wearing a tool belt; he enjoyed being creative and fixing things. Nick had good business sense, great work ethic, and would do anything for others. He loved his family and friends, and he had an infectious smile and laugh. He played hard, but he worked twice as hard.
Nick is survived by his parents, Kevin and Joan of Mabel; brothers, Nathan of Mabel, and Noah of Farmington, Minn.; a sister, Raechelle (Luke) Leidahl of Janesville, Iowa, and their son, Liam; special friend, Amber Severson; stepgrandmother, Mary Manning; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ray and Monica Sweeney and Leo and Dorothy Manning; and cousins, Jason Johanningmeier and Patrick Fisk.
Funeral Mass will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 19, at Mabel-Canton High School in Mabel, with Father Joe Hennen and Msgr. Donald P. Schmitz co-officiating. Burial will be in the Mabel Public Cemetery in Mabel. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, March 18, at St. Olaf Catholic Church in Mabel, and one hour prior to services at the school.
Nick loved Mabel and was committed to serving the community. Memorials will be directed to community needs to be determined.

I pray that with time, the pain and loss you are feeling can be replaced by the memories and happy moments and allow you to find comfort and peace. He is and will always be missed but it's because he was loved by so many and his community. Every time he came into Hwy 44 I had to get on him to use a spit cup and he'd just smirk and smile. That was the last thing I said to him Saturday was about a simple plastic cup with a napkin in it.... I'd happily let him use his bottle, can or even the floor if he came back but you remember those trivial things and never think that thought would be engraved in your memories to revisit. Their is and will be a huge void unable to fill but with the love and support of friends and family, I pray that family, friends and our community can lean upon another to find peace and most of all acceptance. We will miss you Nick!!!
