July 21, 1950 — May 9, 2025

Avon Park

Glenn Dennis Manning Jr., aged 74, passed away peacefully in Sebring, Florida, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on July 21, 1950, in Evarts, Kentucky, Glenn was a man of integrity and kindness who lived a life marked by strength, resourcefulness, and a profound love for the nature world.

Glenn proudly served his country as a member of the US Army during the Korean War, a time that instilled in him a sense of duty and honor that he carried throughout his life. After his military service, he continued to demonstrate his commitment to his nation as a proud member of the GOP, participating actively in the community and embodying the values he held dearly.

An outdoorsman at heart, Glenn was happiest under the open sky. He found solace in the simple pleasures of fishing, hunting, and camping. His love of nature was not only a pastime but a deep-seated part of who he was. His down-to-earth demeanor and ability to find joy in the wilderness endeared him to all who knew him.

Those who knew Glenn understood him to be a man of unwavering loyalty. He was the kind of person who showed up to lend a hand without ever being asked, a testament to his generous spirit and the genuine care he had for others. His presence was a source of comfort and strength, and all who had the fortune to cross paths with him wouldl deeply feel his absence.

Glenn leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory forever. He is survived by the love of his life of 53 years Sue Manning, his son Glenn Dennis Manning III, His brother, Neil Manning, and sister, Karen Witt, will hold onto the memories of their Husband, Dad, and Brother with fondness and pride. Glenn's joy was multiplied with the birth of his grandchildren, Maikaila Marie Manning, India C. Knight and Jace Z. Knight. The light of his life shone even brighter with the arrival of his great-granddaughter, Maliyah Brielle Breton, who will grow up hearing stories of her great-grandfather's love and wisdom. Other people who were special to him include Stephanie Marie Knight daughter in law, and Roman R Breton grandson in law, David, Paul, Tommy and Roy Witt, brother in laws he dearly loved.

Preceded in death by his beloved family members Glenn D. Manning Senior, Lois Manning, Jimmy Manning, Don Manning, and Kay Begley. Glenn now joins them, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and the indomitable spirit that defined his life.
