Many many years ago Manny and Aaron got into mischief……,two peas in a pod.
Manny grew up to be a handsome man, free spirted soul. 
Aaron’s beautiful soul , free spirit was cut short. 
Mannys was cut short. 
Two peas in a pod even to the end. xx

Two little boys Manny and my son Aaron were always into mischief. They came running up to me yelling “we didn’t do it”, while smoke rose from that old barn. 

I pause and smile. Manny as Aaron had his owe drummer. A beautiful sound it made. 



Mike, Muffy, Penny, Mark, Pat, Pam, and all the McCubbins, So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Prayers are with you, and God Bless you all

Mike, I didn't know you very well, but prayers are with your family. I can only imagine the heartache of losing a child. God bless you and yours....

My sympathy to all of the family. Mike, Mark and Mimi you are in my thoughts and prayers

Mike and Sharon,

I am so sorry to read in the paper about Manny.  It was a shock to Sybil and me.  We had been out of town at our daughter's in Missouri.  I feel your pain and want you to know that we have asked God to take of you both.  Losing a son is a horrific loss.  As you know, we lost Darin in 1996, and in many ways, it seems like it happened just yesterday.  Take time to grieve and then take time to remember all the good times you shared with Manny.  As you share his life with others, the pain and loss start to ease up.  Always remember the good times.  Manny's spirit lives within your heart and will be with you all the rest of your life.  We are sorry for your loss and are available to talk when you are ready, just call us.  Your friends,  Wayne and Sybil McCombs

We share in your sorrow and send your family our thoughts and prayers.

Manny and I were the best of friends when we were in school, and even though we went our separate ways after high school I still considered him one of my best friends. I was fortunate to see Manny again this year and was very much looking forward to going riding with him. We spent some time looking back on our childhood and we had quite a few good laughs. Manny's smile was contagious, and his personality would light up a room. He was very caring, compassionate person and made everyone around him feel important. I am praying that his memories will outshine the sorrow I know his family and friends are feeling right now. Life is too short so love as much as you can. Until we meet again my friend.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Manny a few months ago. I enjoyed watching him and my husband share stories for hours of their younger years.  I could tell how loving and sincere of a man he was.  May you feel our Lords arms around you during this time.

Jimmy, stacy end karlee from lowden     Miss you brother wish I would of been closer   you ARE a great guy miss you will do whatever i can to help TIINK out.    Will forever remember you wish I could of helped      WE LOVE YOU BRO  See you there when I get there!

Mike, Mimi, Muffy, Mark, Penny, Patti, Pam, So sorry for your loss, I still remember "little" Manny down on the island being passed around all the boat club mom's laps when he was just a baby...God Bless you all

Mike and Sharon words cannot say of how saddened we are at the loss of such a great friend. We would just like to send hopes and prayers to you and your family and to say that every street and golf course we have worked on together will always bring a special thought of his smile and laugh as we pass by and joyously relive those great memories.
We can all know that Manny will have a Suzy Q and a beer waiting with a big toy in the dirt pile when we see him again.

Mike, Sharon, Michelle, Mark and Pat. Becky and I are so sorry for your loss. Manny was always good to me when we worked together. His golf course shaping work at WIU will be there for us to admire forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

We had the pleasure of working with Manny and he always made the day more fun and interesting. He was the best at what he did and will always be remembered as such and for the kind of man he was. Our thoughts are with all of his loved ones during this difficult time.

Mimi and Mark, so sorry for the loss of your nephew.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Michelle, I want you to know that Geoff and I are thinking of you, your mom Pat,and your sisters.  Manny's death is a heartbreaking loss.  Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you now and in the days to come.  We love you

Words never seem right and the distance seems so far, but the lack of words or span of highway does not lessen the depth of sympathy I feel for you all. May God in His great mercy carry you through this side of Heaven with the confident hope of seeing Manny again. Much love, Mike and Jayne, Michael, Morgan & Matthew Patton

I was Missy and Manny's babysitter when they were young, and have wondered about them both many times over the years. I remember Manny as being a loving little man. He was also very curious and energetic. He loved the house his daddy built and being on his grandpa's farm. This news was quite shocking. I can't imagine the pain his family is  feeling now. My prayers are with you all during this sorrowful time in your lives.

Michelle, My heart goes out to you and your family.  It has been so many years since we have talked.  I think of you fondly.  May your brothers memory be eternal.  Love, Christine Angelos Sheley

I am sorry to hear of the loss of a cousin and good man that so many enjoyed the company of.

I only wish we had a chance to talk more and see each other since we just got back in touch just a short few months ago. MY thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.
