Jon Mangual, 18, of Tobyhanna, died on Thursday, Aug. 14, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

Born in Paterson, N.J., he was the son of Luis and Ana (Garcia) Mangual.

He was a quarterback and defensive back for the Panthers football team when they won their first MVC title this past football season. An All-MVC and All-Area first-team pick, he was also an All-MVC second-team choice. In his last game as a high school senior, he played in the McDonald's All-Star football game at Nazareth High School.

In addition to his parents, Luis and Ana, he is survived by a brother, Angel Mangual and his wife, Shea, of East Orange, N.J.; a niece and nephew, Donyah and Dreyden Mangual; several aunts and uncles, Mirta and Amador Torress, Fermina and Orlando Mangual, Norma Mangual and Jorge and Annie Gorritz; maternal grandmother, Iris Julio Quiroc; and paternal grandmother, Margarita Rodriquez.

Father Richard Ghezzi will celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 18, at St. Ann's Church, Main Street, Tobyhanna. Interment will be private.

Hey Jonny, its me Adrian. i just wanna tell you that im junior at the west high school and i'm a varsity receiver #8. i begged coach to let me wear your number. this season went 7-5 . we started the season 0-4 and went on a 7 game win streak. we were the first team in west football history to make districts . in the first game we played Stroudsburg and we won 34-12. first district appearance and we won. sadly we lost to freedom in the next round 33-21. i just want you to know that i played my butt off for you every game. i even write your name on my cleats to support you. hopefully i made you proud this season and next year for my senior year i'll be even better. if you want you can watch my junior year highlights here > https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6068173/5a09035a0dc00a0a40802f1a

Annie & Manny,
We were in shock when we were told by our son michael. We were away at the time. I cannot tell you how much my heart broke for you and for the anguish you feel. As parents who lost a child, i can only say to you, cry, scream, let all the pain out.In time, you will still cry, but you will smile, laugh, talk about the good times and you will always remember him in your heart and mind. But never stop living ,for you have the other children to live for. And through all of you, Jonny will live and be remembered. I wish you strength and pray for you and your family.We are so sorry we were not there for his wake, but our boys were there for you.Keep safe and god bless all of you.

His family must be so proud of all he has accomplished in his short time on earth. He will be truly missed by everyone who was lucky to have known him. May his spirit live on. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Mangual Family May you receive Gods Grace through these tough time our prayers are with you ALL. There is never a single time in my life, since my daughter Amanda entered into the otherside, six months ago; I could only cherish "what" I have learned from my beautiful daughter,and living life joyfully and always with a 'smile" her love she expressed to all those who crossed her path; always focused and strong." That's what my 'baby' taught me, "To Stay Strong "
There is a song titled: STAY STRONG by The Newsboys.
I hope It Blesses you All; our prayers will be to all those families also who have lost a "child."

To the Magnual Family,
i feel the your pain mutually as i am surprised and hurt by the news of Johnny's passing. He is in a better place watching over us and blessing us each second that passes on.

Johnny you were a outgoing guy. The jokes you made when we would hang out with Joey. I remember before I left to Peru two weeks ago, the last two "friends" I saw were Joey and yourself. Both of you playing basketball in my driveway ... it's still hard for me to realize that was just two weeks ago. Time isn't granted but I am glad to know that at least you enjoyed your time alive. Until we meet again in the near future, please continue to bless us with your warmth in spirit and lead us to greatness and plenty of blessings. I am and so are your close friends and family and everyone who knew who you were are going to miss you greatly!!!
You will forever remain in our hearts, no doubt about it.
Until we meet again Jon "Johnny" Magnual =[

Love Always,

Dear Mangual Family, I have stood in your shoes. Its 17 years and I can still feel all the emotions from time to time and that's OK. It lets me know I have not forgotten one minute with my son. Look for that certain quiet moment, (you'll know it when it happens), when you feel Jon touching your heart to let you know he's ok. Remember and embrace it. That one time will pull you through everything. Jon's roots were planted here with you, but he will bloom on the other side of the wall, more glorious than we can imagine. And one day, you will see that bloom. My sympathy to you now. I understand. I have been there.

Saddened Mom in Smithfield

To the Mangual Family:

My deepest heartfelt sympathy.

I live down the road from the accident and have to pass that way each day. I see the memorial and it hurts. I say a prayer for the two young men and their families.
As a parent, I can only imagine the pain and sorrow you are going through. But, please know that God will comfort you if you allow Him to.

Brian Reed

August 17, 2008

Jon you will be missed. As a friend, a teammate, and a fellow QB, I will never forget you. I am honored to have played on the same field as you and i know everyone that has met you is a better person for it.
I hope that all friends and family of Jon can see he is in a better place watching over us.
Rest easy buddy.

August 17, 2008

To the Mangual Family,
I am thankful to the Lord that I had the pleasure of coaching such a gifted young man. God has truly blessed all of us with the pleasure of knowing and meeting such a wonderful and free-spirited human being. My prayer for you is that God will continue to be with you during this time and will provide comfort and strength to you and to all of those who will miss him dearly. Remember to thank God for the time he alloted us to nurture and spend with Jon. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family.

Jay, Monika, Olivia, Damian Dunn

August 17, 2008

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers are with you in this time of pain and unanswered questions. May God comfort you with His Love and Mercy.

August 17, 2008

My heart goes out to the entire family, especially Jon's mom.

As a mom who lost a child in a car accident 11 years ago on 8/14/97, I can tell you that you have to rely on your family and friends for the support you're going to need.

As someone told me 11 years ago "Take it a day at a time, if that's too long take it an hour at a time and if that's too long take it a minute at a time".

I will be praying for Jon's family to have strength and the ability to lean on one another for comfort.

Coach S

August 17, 2008

jonny, although I didn't know you very well I felt a connection to you. You used to hang out after school during track season and at some of the practices and meets and i felt a connection to you. Maybe it was because of how everyone loved you and your charasnmatic personality. But i think it's because God puts people in our lives for a reason, although i may not know that reason right now. My heart goes out to your family and to ALL of your friends and teammates who loved you so much and whose hearts are broken. To all of those people remember, " Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!" Jon has obviously given those who knew and loved him many moments that took their breath away. God Bless

I always loved playing basketball with you and I didn't even know you were famous!! I always talked about you to my Mom and always said you were my brother. I saw your picture on the newspaper and said "see Mom , he plays basketball". Now when I look at the sky and see all the bright stars I know that you are there right next to my grandma. I love you Johnny

Remember him in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.

But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy you knew remain.

Remember him when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.

Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.

And when your thoughts do turn to him, Know that he would not have you cry.

But live for him and laugh for him,
When you are happy, so will he.

Remember an old joke you'd shared;
Remember him when spring walks by.

Think once of him when you are glad
And while you live, and he shall never die.

Ivelisse (beli) Guzman

August 16, 2008

Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
