Gene was born October 20, 1937, in Halfway, Missouri and passed away October 2, 2023, in Alexandria, Louisiana at the age of 85. He worked for the Louisiana Department of Forestry for about 23 years and for a while at the Louisiana State School. He was a member of Cold Springs Baptist Church. You could say Gene was a jack-of-all-trades because he was good at doing so many things such as plumbing, small engine repair, and fixing just about anything. In his free time, he enjoyed gardening, fishing, and drinking coffee. He left a loving legacy to his family and will be remembered as a wonderful father and devoted husband.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents, Fred Manes & Mary Jane Gibson Manes and brothers, Albert Lee Manes & Orra Daniel Manes.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of almost 67 years, Mattie Faye Manes of Hornbeck;
sons, Fredie Dean Manes and wife Patricia and Danny Lee Manes and wife Sherri all of Hornbeck;
daughter, Carla Dawn Rivers and husband Johnnie of Hornbeck;
