River Manning Memorial Fund

As most have heard, River Manning and his cousin Gage passed away in a horrible car accident April 1, 2022. (Gage the following day)

I have had so many people reach out to me and ask what they can do. I have not had an answer until now.

River was 18 years old, about to graduate from Clearfield High School in 6 weeks and just landed his dream job as a welder at VO Brothers Mechanical. River had a passion for many things outdoors. Hunting, dirt bike riding, trap shooting, and camping. But at the top of that list was Rodeo. He loved everything about it and he excelled at it. River won many Utah High School Rodeo Association events in Bull Riding, Saddle Bronc and Bareback. He enjoyed Tuesday night buck outs at Golden Spike Arena in Ogden and riding in the series rodeos held there.

River made friends wherever he went. It was just something about his smile and funny personality that made everyone gravitate towards him.

River was like a second son to me. He was my sons best friend. So with his parents permission, I have set up this Gofund me account to help them offset any graveside and Celebration of Life expenses. ALL of your donations will go directly to River’s dad, Shaun Manning in the form of a cashiers check. There is also a memorial account set up in River Manning’s name at America First Credit Union account number 9123449
