Chandler, AZ - With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Paul Joseph Manning, 67, on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Paul was a man whose warmth, humor, and deep love for family and community left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Paul found his greatest joy in the simple yet profound pleasures of life—spending his days on the golf course, cherishing time with his grandson Prince, and loving his children, Ethan, Emily, and Evan, with his whole heart.

After moving from Connecticut to Arizona, he embraced every opportunity to connect with people, making fast friends wherever he went. He had a gift for making others feel at ease, for sharing laughter, and for treating everyone as if they were family.

Paul's devotion extended beyond his immediate circle. He was an active and engaged member of his community, from serving as a Boy Scout leader when Ethan was young to being involved in his synagogue and lending his time to local boards and organizations. His generous spirit and commitment to service were constants in his life, shaping the lives of those around him.

He is deeply missed by his wife, Barbara; his children, Ethan (and Cara), Emily (and Marquis, and son Prince), and Evan; his siblings, Steven Ravis, Patti Lawrimore, Stuart Manning, and Stacy Jensen; and his mom, Arline Manning. His love, kindness, and infectious laughter will be cherished always.

While we mourn his loss, we find comfort in knowing that Paul is now reunited with his father, Harold, his mother, Marilyn, and his brother, Danny. Their bond was unbreakable in life, and now they are together again, watching over us with love.

Paul's legacy is one of connection, generosity, and love—a reminder that the most meaningful parts of life are found in the people we share it with.

Thank you, Paul, for the love, laughter, and kindness you brought into our lives. Your spirit will live on in the stories we share and the love you left behind. You will always be with us—in our hearts, in our memories, and in the moments we wish we could share with you.
