John Marshall McManus is the first born son to Carmen Jimenez-Arenas and Marshall McManus. He is the big brother to Chris McManus and Alisia Gayton and husband to Kumiko Katase. John has three beautiful daughters, Lyttia McManus, Kristin McManus, and Kasumi McManus, and is a grandfather to the sweetest little angel, Navina Cancinos. While many people may believe 49 years is far too short of a life, John felt fulfilled in life at the time of his passing and his love and faith in God brought him peace.
John faced many challenges in his life. One of those challenges was addiction. After hitting his lowest point in 2013, he changed. It took one night for him to completely stop drinking. This is incredibly rare and difficult and takes an immense amount of strength and will-power, but he did it. He always gave credit of his strength to God, and from 2013 until his final day, he was sober. He overcame adversity to be the best father he could be for his children, they were his motivation to better himself and live a life he was proud of. His youngest daughter, Kasumi, was going through a lot of mental health challenges and he was there to help her every step of the way. He taught her so many things and showed her so much love and compassion. He helped her begin her transformation into the strongest woman she could be. He wasn’t just a father, he was her closest friend. And now, he’s her guardian angel.
John’s compassion, understanding and charismatic nature made him a wonderful son, brother, father and friend. He is loved and will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. His life will continue to be an inspiration to all who knew him.
