I grew up and went to school with Mike. To this day I have told many childhood stories about Mike and his wonderful personality to my Church's youth group and friends. He was admired and loved by all.
Our prayers are with Peggy and the entire Manley family. May God comfort you during this time of sadness.

My name is Theresa Murphy Whitley. I went to school with Mike from elementary on to HS. He was even my 6th grade crush. He was such a great guy. You could not say one bad thing about Mike.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. You have lost a good man.

June 28th was a very sad day for all Mike Manleys friends and family. Phone calls, texts and e-mails delivered the painful news that Plymouth Twp had lost one of its finest. Words alone can't even express how everyone is feeling. So goodbye Mike Manley. It was my pleasure to have known you.
