Michael Thomas Mann

Michael was born in Dallas August 20, 1994, the beloved first child of Alan and Paula March Mann. He attended Parish Episcopal School and the University of Mississippi. He was a member of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, where he was confirmed.

He enjoyed lacrosse, music, filmmaking and photography. He was active in Scouting and achieved the coveted rank of Eagle Scout as a member of University Park BSA Troop 70. He was an active enthusiast on family ski and scuba trips,and on other family adventures here and abroad, including European tours for his sister Olivia’s ballet.

Michael had a bright smile, was full of life and could be sometimes lovingly mischievous and always great fun. He could put a smile on anyone’s face and made lifelong friendships easily. He was generous, tender-hearted and selfless, in both deeds and spirit, to friends and family whose lives were blessed by Michael’s presence. We all deeply feel the loss of this beautiful boy.

In addition to his parents, he leaves behind a younger brother Adam and younger sister Olivia, whom he loved dearly and who adored Michael without bound.

He also is mourned by grandmothers Elaine March and Janet Mann; great-aunt Rosemary Seltzer; aunts Donna March, Georgette March, Lynda Paris, Valerie Splaine, Karen Mann and Bonnie Mann; and cousins Callie and Sarah Seltzer, David and Isabella Goren and Aaron Mare. Michael was preceded in death by grandfathers Robert March and Edwin Mann.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, January 20, at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Michael’s name to CARE, 5817 Hillcrest Ave., Dallas TX 75205.
