Dennis MANLEY Obituary

Dennis Keith Manley, beloved son, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2025, after a courageous and long battle with Parkinson's disease and cancer. Dennis was a lifelong resident of Spokane, where he touched many lives through his work and spirit.

A graduate of Shadle Park High School, Dennis went on to pursue higher education at Puget Sound University. Throughout his life, he was known as a true jack of all trades, always ready to lend a hand and tackle new challenges. He dedicated much of his career to the service industry, where his warmth and work ethic left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike.

Dennis had a deep appreciation for the finer things in life, especially his love of wine, which he enjoyed sharing with family and friends. Above all, he cherished his role as a father to his daughter, Aylis, who was the light of his life. He is also lovingly remembered by his mom, JoAnn Manley; and his sisters, Laura and Kathleen, who stood by his side through thick and thin.

Dennis's strength, kindness, and resilience will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of love, dedication, and versatility will continue to inspire those he leaves behind.

A private family gathering will be held in his honor.
