Heaven gained an angel with a big booming voice who gave the best hugs ever. David G. Manus, 72, passed away October 24, 2016, at his daughter's home in Snohomish, WA. He was born on July 29, 1944, in Seattle, WA and was raised in Ballard, graduating from Ballard High School in 1962. He was veteran of the US Air Force, serving from 1962-1969. Dave is survived by his son, Adam Manus (Annette), daughter, Kimberly Manus; sister, Sandra Manus Salomon (Raul), brothers, Dan Manus and Bud Undi (Kris); six grandchildren (Jessica, Shayna, Quinton, Riley, Savannah, and Grace), four great-grandchildren (Pax, Abel, Raiden and Lana), nieces Pilar and Alexis, "son" Jamie Green, an amazing extended family and a host of long-time friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mildred Manus and life-long love, Lonnie. We are certain that huge hugs were exchanged as Dave reunited with loved ones in Heaven. We will miss his ever-optimistic attitude and big "Top of the World!" response whenever anyone asked how he was doing. This man was truly exceptional. He was the most devoted, loving son/father/grandpa/great-grandpa any family could ask for. He gave until he had nothing to give, and then he gave some more. To say he was our Rock is an understatement. Dad, we will miss you and think of you every day. Thank you for everything. You are so very loved. A Celebration of Dave's Life will be held November 19, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at Allen Creek Community Church, 7314 44th Ave NE, Marysville, WA. Guests are invited to wear Seattle Seahawks team colors, jerseys, etc. Please join us to celebrate and honor this amazing man.
