Obituary
Our beloved brother Emile had a severe irrecoverable brain hemorrhage on Wednesday 08/20/2014. We were stunned (& still are) especially after a successful second heart surgery to fix a congenital condition three and a half weeks earlier.
Emile was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1968. As a child he was gifted with a talent to pick up languages at a very young age. As a young adult and even during the Lebanese War, he was as cheerful and friendly as ever. As an adult, Emile became known as ‘Al Mukhtar’ or the ‘Mayor’. Emile was a friendly face around town. With his lovable smile, he greeted everyone even if it was a stranger. Everyone knew him and if not they became to know him. He permanently moved to California in 2007, then immediately made friends and joined a bowling team. He loved to bowl; his last trophy was 2 months ago. He loved to play with his nephews and niece. He was a kind, innocent, caring man who loved dancing. Emile knew how to shake it on the floor.
Emile was preceded in death by both of our parents, John I. Manneh and Yvette J. Manneh who passed away in 2011. God bless their souls.
Emile is survived by three brothers (Johnny, Michael, & Marwan), two sisters-in-law (Nayla & Talla), two nephews and a niece (Andrew, Gabriel, and Milana).

I could not believe that Emile has gone when I read your email because I had a conservation with Emile over the phone on Tuesday 8/19/14. My heart was broken into two piece. I am so sorry to hear that.

Dear Johnny, Michael, Marwan and Manneh Family:
My deepest sympathies resonate alongside yours during the bereavement of the loss of your brother Emile. He will always be remembered as the multilingual social life of the party. I particularly have fond memories of him and your parents during a short magic performance a few years ago (December 2008). I am sharing this short one minute video clip that highlights these pleasant memories.
May he Rest In Peace. Please accept my sincere condolences.
