Manning was born in Beaufort County on Sept. 21, 1935, to the late Oscar and Helen Beatrice Manning. He lived in Washington and attended Old Ford School. He was a member of Wharton Methodist Church.

A classic car and Ford enthusiast, he was a member of the Eastern Antique Power Association, and in 1959, established Carlton’s Salvage, where he could be found working alongside his beloved family and friends nearly every day of his life. He loved his community and was a founding member of the Wharton Station Ruritan Club, and one of the founding benefactors of the Clarks Neck Volunteer Fire Department.

He loved nothing more than his wife, Ruby, whom he married in 1959, but also enjoyed racing, fishing and his German shepherds.

Survivors include his wife, Ruby Tyson Manning; two sons, Danny “Lee” Manning and William “Keith” Manning and wife Resha; three grandchildren, Jessica Manning Such and husband Travis, Seth Carlton Manning and Adam Keith Manning; one great-grandchild, Avett Wallace Such; and two siblings, Ervin Peters Manning and wife Bertie, and Amanda Gail Manning, all of Washington. He also leaves behind his faithful dog, Blu, and grandpup, Paws.

Manning, Jr.; great-grandson, Tyson Lawrence Such; three siblings, Mary Manning Burroughs, Walter Allen Manning and Bobby Cotton Manning; and five half-siblings, Oscar Brown Manning, Icelene Manning Williams, Helen Manning Asby, Josephine Manning Aranda and Braxton Rudolph Manning.
