Marty was born in Houston, Texas on March 11, 1965 to Matthew and Kay Manis, and attended Sharpstown High School there. He moved to Austin as a teenager and earned a paralegal certification. Marty remained interested in topics of law and current events throughout his life, and he always had an opinion supported by facts and hard-won experience. He taught himself IT, well enough to work for Dell for 4 years. He also worked for a time as a bartender and caterer and remained an excellent cook who enjoyed nothing better than feeding family. Marty was also an amateur philosopher and was working on his first book at the time of his death. He stayed every busy as a construction foreman with District 7 Waterproofing, visiting with family, and playing with his dog Feebee. His energy, determination, loyalty, intelligence, humor, and courage in dealing with anything life demanded of him will be greatly missed.
Marty is survived by his wife Tania (Andrade); his son Mason and wife Breanna, and daughter Jacquelyn Trevino; siblings Mike and Dawn Manis, Mark and Glynda Manis, Frank and Sheryl Maniscalco, Matt and Valerie Manis, and Mary and Greg Scott; nieces and nephews Michael, Darrion, and Magen, Allie, Ryan, Ashtin, and Katie, Jamie, Jodie, Madison and Matthew III, and Eric and Scott; and by parents Matthew and Mary Manis Sr., and his beloved mother, Kay Pugh.
