Eddie Manning's Obituary
Eddie Manning, 62, of Tavares, Florida, passed away on August 9, 2024. Born in Belfast, Ireland, to the late Sally and Edward Manning, Eddie was a man of many talents and passions.
At the young age of 18, Eddie opened Kennedy Way Kar Parts and Exhaust in Belfast, a venture that quickly became a success. His love for soccer was evident as he remained a devoted fan of the Arsenal football team in England and played the sport himself until the age of 60.
Two years ago, Eddie moved from Belfast to Tavares, where he continued to embrace life with enthusiasm. He had a deep love for travel and cherished every moment spent exploring new places. He was an animal lover and his absence will be evident to his Shih Tzu, Andie and cat, Leo. Above all, Eddie was a loving family man who adored his wife, children and grandchildren.
Eddie was preceded in death by his brothers, Paul and Jim. He is survived by his beloved wife, Tina; step daughter: Michelina Sanders; his son, Ryan (Gemma) Manning of Belfast; his daughter, Sarah (Ada) Kintner-Manning of Dublin, Ireland; his sister, Margaret (Bob) Janes of South Hampton, England; his grandchildren, Abel, Bria, and Lily; and his best mate and cousin, Niall Larmour of Belfast.
Eddie’s legacy of love, passion, and dedication will be remembered by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
