Born in Peidmont, SC, he was a son of the late John and Leila Hopkins Manley. He retired from Mt. Vernon Mills, LaFrance, SC. Prior to this, he and his wife operated several small grocery stores in the Pendleton area. He loved it when family and friends visited and ate with them, when he was on his lawn mower, and when he was washing and polishing his car or truck.
Mr. Manley was a member of the Central Church of God of Prophecy where he served as Sunday School Superintendent many times and enjoyed playing his beloved drums.

In addition to his wife and parents, he is predeceased by five brothers; John, George, Bill, T.C., and Dooley; two sisters, Gertrude Kelly and Eva; and one great grandson, Trae.
The family will cherish their many fond memories of his hugs, kisses, meal blessings and deep, abiding faith in prayer.
