It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Robert "Bobbie" Mannings on June 5th, 2025. Bobbie came into this world with his twin sister, Roqk'ell, on December 9, 1992 born to Robert Sr. & Camille Mannings. He accepted Christ at an early age & made sure to put the Lord first in everything he did. Bobbie brought joy and love into every life he touched. His warm, honest, bubbly, and humorous personality will be thoroughly missed by all. Robert leaves behind a loving family who cherishes the memories they've created together.
He is survived by his two sons, Adrieanno and Azariah Mannings, his mother, Camille Jayden-Mannings, his twin sister, Roq'kell Harris, sisters, Raiyven Hampton, Roc'Qee McCoy and Robiyen Mannings, and brothers, Riqko Mannings and Ruh'Gee Mannings(Reggie)
He was predeceased by his father, Robert Mannings, I, his favorite aunt, Tiphany Marrow, his grandmother, Mrs. Dorothea "Dory" Samba Jayden, grandfather, Pastor Akachee Samba Jayden, his favorite cousin, Benoit Harkins, and his brothers, Reynaldo "Jah Jah" Samba Jayden-Mannings and Rikkiy "Ready Man" Jayden-Mannings.
In 2009, right before graduating high school, Bobbie welcomed his first child and it was at that moment he knew he needed to create a stable foundation.
He graduated from Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists in 2010 and pursued nursing and neuroscience at St. Cloud State University, graduating in 2014. He became a neurologist in 2022. Bobbie was a cherished member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, where he formed lifelong friendships and connections. He moved to Texas City, Texas, in 2024, where he continued to inspire those around him. He often expressed that though some might consider his professional life as his greatest accomplishment, he placed being a father to his sons above all else. Bobbie lived by the philosophy, "You are more than you give yourself credit for", and he never failed to remind his children of this powerful lesson. His legacy, his love for his family, his peace, and his remarkable strength as a father will forever be cherished and live on through his sons. Robert was truly loved, cherished, and will be deeply missed by his children and all who knew him.
