survived by his sister-in-law, Major Dawn Mannix, his niece, Meghan Mannix, and many

extended family members and dear friends; and

     WHEREAS, Born in Providence, Mr. Mannix was raised in the Bonnet Shores

neighborhood in Narragansett. He was a graduate of Monsignor Clarke School, Narragansett

High School, and Colby College in Maine; and

financial services and public relations, as a political consultant with many local campaigns, and

enriched the lives of all who knew him and set a standard for excellence in public service that is

an inspiration to us all; now, therefore be

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island hereby
