James "Jimmy" Gerald Manna Jr.

James "Jimmy" Gerald Manna Jr., 68, passed away on August 4, 2026, in Tyler, Texas.

He was born March 21, 1958, in Warren, Ohio, the son of James Gerald Manna Sr. and Kaye Francis Vandergrift.

A graduate of Champion High School, Jimmy worked in construction for a majority of his life.

He loved the outdoors and fishing. As a pet person, he always had dogs and treated each of them like royalty.

He was a music enthusiast, primarily listening to classic rock and jazz but always staying hip to the times and finding new bands. He also enjoyed watching the Ohio State Buckeyes football team and supported Cleveland sports. His favorite pastime, however, was spending nights playing Bingo with his sister and her children.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by two daughters, April Manna of Dallas, Texas, and Alisa Manna of Cleveland, Ohio; two grandchildren; sisters, Deborah Webb of Camden, Ariz, Teresa Hardman of Tyler, Texas and Peggy Price of Cortland, Ohio; nieces, Melanie Bonini-Montgomery and Stacy Bonini; and a nephew, Robert Webb Jr..

There will be no services at this time. Cremation has taken place.
