Mark Alexander Manning

Born in Philadelphia, PA, he grew up in St. Louis, MO, moved to St. Petersburg, FL in 1983 and retired to Brooksville, FL in 2010.  Mark was a graduate of the University of Missouri and enjoyed a long and successful career in the electronics components industry.  In retirement he enjoyed fishing, the outdoors, riding his tractor, his rescue dogs, Frisbee-Golf with his brothers, lawn games with his family, and fixing almost anything himself.  He was a dedicated, loving father and husband and will be missed greatly.  He was truly a special man with a courageous spirit.
