Obituary of Reginald Ladon Manning

Reginald Ladon (Donnie Baby) Manning was born in Memphis, Tennessee on Sept. 22, 1956. From birth Reggie was an exceptional being. As a baby, he was smart, loving and well behaved. As a little boy, he was well mannered, helpful and very respectful. Reggie maintained the same character and mannerism throughout his life. He even instilled those traits into his younger siblings.
