Manry and Johnnie Hammett Manry in Heidelberg, Germany.  He was preceded in death by his mother. He is survived by his wife of nearly 25 years, Adina Crawford Manry; children, Christina Manry, Autumn Manry and Harlee Manry; father, Thomas A. Manry and his wife Carmen; siblings, Tina Manry, Jeffery Manry and wife Janet, Dale Manry and wife Margaret, and Tami Self and husband Dwayne; as well as numerous nieces and nephews that he loved like his own children.  Tommy John Manry graduated from Natchitoches Central Highschool in 1988 and served nearly two years in the US Army. He worked at Solar Supply Airconditioning for 18 years. He was married to Adina Crawford Manry for 25 years, and he had three daughters—Christina, Autumn, and Harlee.  He was loved widely and deeply; he never met a stranger, and he was always there to help when help was needed. Tommy was a wonderful husband who did everything possible to make his wife happy and comfortable. He was an amazing father who made sure his kids knew he loved them and wanted the best for them. Along with his actual children, Tommy had many nieces and nephews who saw him as a father figure whom he loved like his own. He was a loving brother who was always there for his siblings when they needed him. All he ever wanted was for everyone who came in contact with him to come to know and love Jesus. Even through all of what he was going through, he wanted to be a light unto the world.   "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;”  Matthew 5:14
