Jim Paul Mann
March 6th, 1985 - April 10th, 2026
JP Mann, beloved husband, son, and brother passed away on April 10, 2026, at the age of 41. He was a devoted partner, a loyal friend, and a man whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew him.
To his wife, he was more than a husband—he was a best friend, a source of strength, and a constant presence of love. To his friends, he was a brother, confidante, and true companion. He made everyone feel special and loved. His most endearing quality was his loyalty and desire to serve others. He gave expecting nothing in return.
JP loved golf and found joy and peace on the course. Lovingly known as “Hefty Lefty”, golf was one of his favorite ways to spend time and connect with others.
It is because JP took his own life that a small corner of the world is grieving. This has been a heartbreaking loss that reminds us of the importance of compassion, understanding, and mental health awareness. He was deeply loved and will be remembered for the light he brought into the lives of those around him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jessica, along with his parents Victor and Paula Mann, and his sister, Jenny Mann (Brian Leigh). He was preceded in death by his grandparents Weldon and Dorothy Stahl and Bobby and Mary Lois Mann.
