Obituary for David Lee Mangiaracina
Our love will always be young.
Even when you are old and I am gone.
I will always be with you.
Look for me.
If you are reading this, then I am no longer here on this earth. I lived a wonderful life while I was here, but what I came here to accomplish is done and it was time for me to go. In the short time I was here I had an amazing life. I loved four-wheeling, metal-detecting, fishing, rockhounding, camping and flying my drone with my friends and family. What I enjoyed the most was spending time with the love of my life. We traveled all over and saw amazing things together. Our last vacation in March, with our friends Ramola and Garland Earwood, to Florida was a vacation of a lifetime. I got to go snorkeling, talk to an alligator, watch dolphins and most of all play with a manatee in the wild. Do not be sad for me, be happy for I am out of pain. I fought hard against cancer for 18 months (about 1 and a half years). I was able to, in those 18 months, do all the things I loved and more. I want my son David Lee Mangiaracina Jr to know how proud I am of him. DJ, know I will always be with you watching over you. Paula Helen you are the love of my life. I will never be very far away from you. I am in the warmth of the sun against your skin, the gentle breeze that blows, the birds that sing in our backyard. All you must do is close your eyes and I will be there with you. I meant what I said when I told you to live your life as we lived ours together. I will meet you there every time you go out to the places we loved to go to together. Our story is not over, it is just on pause.
David Lee Mangiaracina transitioned from this life to the next in his home surrounded by those who loved him on Friday July15th 2022 at the age of 51. He had been fighting stage four esophageal cancer since January 2021. There will be a viewing held on 7/27/22 at Heartlight Affordable Funeral Services, 2002 N Main Street #7 Cedar City, Utah from 6:00-8:00pm. Notepads and pens will be there to write notes of love to David and place with him. A celebration of life will be held on 7/29/22 at the West Canyon Park 151 South 400 East Cedar City Utah 5:00pm – 9:00pm.
