Brad MANNY Obituary

MANNY, Brad Thomas, MD 3/14/1954 - 11/06/2016 After a hard fought battle against a rare form of cancer over the last six months, Brad Thomas Manny "El Supremo", 62, passed away on Sunday, November 6, 2016. From his birth in Kankakee, Illinois, on March 14, 1954, he filled his life with a spirit of freedom and curiosity for the world around him. Many called him a "Mountain Man" as he spent a great deal of time exploring the wilderness; growing fond of the mountains of New Mexico, and climbing Wheeler Peak (Taos), the San Juan and Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Grand Teton, Mt. Rainer, Brooks Range in Alaska, Denali, Kilimanjaro...to name a few. The more remote and wild the location, the better. Brad was a graduate of the University of New Mexico Medical School and completed his residency in Anesthesiology at the University of Arizona Health Science Center. He moved to Santa Fe, NM, and then to Reno, NV where he helped build an Anesthesiology group from 4 to 23 Doctors. He was a skilled physician and was known for his intelligence. He relished the adventures of traveling, had a fascination with Science Fiction, enjoyed listening to the Blues, embracing the calamity of fishing, the chaos of his grandchildren and left the world listening to the noises of a football game, which he loved. He is survived by his wife (Rene'); his ex-wife, (Gina); his mother-in-law, (Carol); his two daughters, (Brittany and Alexis); his sons-in-law, (James and Wes); his stepson and daughter-in-law, (Jason and Amy); his stepdaughter and son-in-law (Melissa and Jeramie) his seven, soon to be eight grandchildren, (Kylie, MacKenzie, Ryan, Niko, Summer, Kenzie, Addison and Jace), and his two sisters, (Lori and Mari). Family and friends whose lives Brad touched are invited to the EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY, 5801 E. Grant Road, at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 3, 2016, to reminisce and celebrate his life. Our hearts ache with your departure, but we all know you are now dancing on top of the highest mountain top imaginable!

I was just looking people's names up from the past and thought of Brad, I am really shocked. Brad and I became friends and co-conspirators in class at Manzano High School. He had told me he wanted to be a doctor and I a nurse. I had known for quite a while he achieved his goal, but I am not sure if he ever knew I also had achieved mine. What a sense of humor he had, he "almost" got in trouble so many times, but he would flash that smile and those blue eyes at the teacher. He is somewhere on a mountain top happy and free, God bless all of his family I know you miss him so terribly.

Dr. Brad Manny, you are truly missed. I was shocked when I heard about your death from your staff. It had not been that long from the last time I had seen you.You were always very professional and caring about your patients. Your death was so unexpected. As your patient I thought you were a great practitioner. R.I.P.

I worked with Dr Manny in Reno years ago. What a great man & doctor. One day I decided to donate blood before going to work. I passed out cold in the hospital parking lot- one of the nurses scooped me up & rushed me down to pre-op- Dr Manny popped in a line & got me some much needed fluid. What a relief to open my eyes & realize I was in good hands. Thanks to Dr. Manny. God speed. My condolences to his family & friends-- Fran McKeon RN Reno Nv

I was a patient of Dr. Manny who found great relief not only from his talented knowledge and practice, but his bedside manner & interest in the patient's well-being. That winning-combo will be greatly missed. I trust he has now found his own relief and peace which he helped so many others find.
