It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Michael Manzi, who departed this life at the age of 61.

Michael was a man of strong faith who loved God deeply. His life reflected his beliefs, and he carried that faith into everything he did, especially in the way he loved and served others. He was known for his kind heart, steady presence, and the genuine care he showed to family and friends.

He was a hard-working man who took pride in helping others. Michael faithfully served his church community, often cooking breakfast and bringing people together through simple acts of kindness and generosity. It was one of the many ways he gave of himself and showed his love for others.

He is survived by his loving siblings—his brother Ralph and his sisters Adele and Miriam—along with many dear friends who became like family over the years. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Michael cherished time spent with those he loved. Whether through conversation, laughter, or simply being present, he made people feel valued and cared for. His friendships were meaningful and lasting, and his impact on others will not be forgotten.

Michael's life was a blessing to all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

He is loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 2, 2026, at South Newington Baptist Church at 11:00 a.m.
