Elijah Brooks Manley

Elijah Brooks Manley was born on July 12th 2024. He was taken into the presence of the Lord Jesus on December 16th 2025. He was born to Sean and Amanda Manley. He is also survived by his sister, Savannah Manley. Elijah will be remembered by a large and loving family to include his grandparents Patrick and Guynna Manley and Tom and Jaina Lujan. Elijah will be remembered as a loving and tender little boy who was as willing to give affection as he was eager to receive it. He showed an extraordinary awareness for his age of the discomforts and distresses of those around him, especially those of his sister; and with this awareness, often was an effort to assuage them. He loved his sister and was learning to play with her. He often seemed to derive more pleasure from placing whatever interesting object he could grasp with his hands into the hands of others than he did from keeping those objects in his own. He brought immense joy to those that watched him be filled with excitement and adventure as he would find yet another obstacle to climb or traverse with a fearlessness and naivete characteristic of one that is intent on conquering an exploit of which certainly his mama would be proud. The abiding characteristic of this young boy was his earnest desire to be with and in the presence of others. He is cherished and deeply loved. “Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” Psalm 127:3.
