❤️FOREVER LOVED MANAIA❤️

In loving memory of a beautiful, kind-hearted soul.

Antar “Manaia” Freeman

It is with shattered hearts that we share the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend at just nineteen years old. On February 26, 2026, Manaia passed away very suddenly.

He was a gentle, sweet soul who loved deeply and was loved even more deeply in return. Anyone who knew him knew his kind heart, his quiet strength, and the warmth he brought into every room. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. His smile, his laughter, and his presence were gifts that we will carry with us forever.

He leaves behind his loving mother, Jasmine Jessop, his three brothers- Lucky, Aziel, and Zion, his sister- Sahara, his girlfriend- Frances Cokanasiga, and a large family who loved him to pieces. Our loss is immense and something no family should ever have to endure. Manaia was the backbone of our family. He was only nineteen years old, and had his entire life ahead of him. This loss is one our family will feel for our entire lives.

We are asking for support to help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Funds raised here will go towards the funeral and memorial expenses, as well as helping his family as they navigate the days ahead without him.

Thank you for helping us honor his life, his love, and the beautiful soul he will always be.

Gone too soon, but never forgotten FOREVER LOVED MANAIA❤️
