Marion Manlove

Marion served his country in the US Army during the Vietnam conflict and
received a Purple Heart. He came home at age 22 to recover from his injuries but
he never overcame his experience of killing in our name. Nights were hard and
dreams haunted him to his last days but he has peace at last. He was an avid
fisherman and hunter and loved to be outside. With his good friend, Kelly they
acquired property in southeast Kansas, built a house, stocked the lake and
enjoyed watching wildlife every evening with a drink in hand. He was a loving
husband and father, a quiet man who always had the best advice when we would
stop and listen to it. He was talented as a builder of furniture, a painter and
photographer. In his youth he was an athlete, pursuing many different sports.
Attended West High School in Wichita and was on the 1964 State Champion West
High School football team. He is retired from the US Postal Service
