Jamie Mann

In memory of Jamie Mann, born on the 23rd of August, 1973, in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska - a man of unmatched spirit and contagious enthusiasm, whose life was a testament to the power of living fearlessly. Jamie spent his 51 years on this earth celebrating life in all its thrilling, unpredictable glory.

Jamie was a man who dedicated his life to the simple, yet profound, pursuit of happiness. A skilled bricklayer by trade, he labored in the construction industry, finding joy in creating and building structures. His dedication to the craft was only surpassed by his love for adventure. Jamie was a fearless skydiver, a fervent football fan, an avid follower of OU sports, and a master fisherman. His ability to dive into the river and swim like a fish was a sight to behold. Jamie's friends and family will fondly remember his stubborn spirit, his love for barbecuing, and his unrivaled ability to live life on his own terms.

Jamie is survived by his loving mother, Wilma Carpenter, and his precious daughter, Callie Padilla, his grandsons, Braiden, Julian, Jace and Mateo, siblings, Garland Mann, III, Timothy Mann, Denise Mann and Becky Mann.

He was preceded in death by his father, Garland Mann, Jr, grandfather, Garland Mann, Sr, grandmother, Riley Mann, grandfather, L.A. Vanbrundt, and grandma, Dorothy Vanbrundt.

Jamie Mann lived his life fully, fearlessly, and on his own terms, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all those he touched. He will be sorely missed.
