James H. Manes

We are saddened to announce the passing of James H. Manes, a cherished great-grandfather, grandfather, father, brother, husband, and friend, who left us on 9/24/2024.

Jim served his country with pride as a Marine for three years, demonstrating strength and dedication. After his service, he found excitement in sulky racing, where his competitive spirit shone brightly.

He was also an avid outdoorsman, spending countless hours in nature. Jim had a knack for giving everyone a hard time, always with a playful grin.

Above all, Jim loved his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his children, Stephen, Glenn, Chris, Tim; his sister Lucille; his grandchildren, Chris, Brittany, Julianna, Stormy, Owen; eight great-grandchildren; and many friends who will miss his humor and warmth.

There are no prior calling hours. A celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date. He will be laid to rest in Cary Cemetery.

Rest in peace, Jim. Your memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew you.
