Derek Manning Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Derek was an all-star athlete with an infectious enthusiasm for life. He loved playing football, baseball, and basketball, always giving his best and bringing joy to those around him. When he wasn't on the field, you could often find him by the river, his fishing pole in hand.
Derek's warm spirit and laughter will forever be cherished. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Lucius and Lora Manning, and his beloved aunt, Cheri Manning. Derek's memory will be lovingly carried on by his devoted parents, Amie Laramy and Derek Manning Sr., his two brothers, Taaron and Cameron Laramy and his loyal dog, Remi.
