A Celebration of Life for Mr.Willie Lee Manuel, Jr.

Obituary

Willie L. Manuel, Jr. (Pookie), was born January 7, 1963 to Willie L. Manuel and Ezerlean Manuel.
Willie accepted Christ at an early age at Washington Chapel Baptist Church in College Station, Texas, under
the leadership of Rev. L.W. Flowers.
On November 8, 2023, in Houston, Texas, Willie was called home to be with his Lord and Savior. Willie
graduated from A&M Consolidated High School and attended Blinn Jr. College in Brenham, Texas.
Willie loved being with his family and left a legacy of love when he departed this life at the age of 60. He
thought of himself as a weatherman. He always wanted to tell you what the weather was going to be. He also
loved sports. He started out in flag football and t-ball as a young child. He also played football in school until
his hip was fractured. After that it was track only.
Willie was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents, his parents, Willie and Ezerlean
Manuel, his sister, Debra Manuel Brown, and his nephew, Lance Fusilier.
Willie leaves to cherish his memories and legacy, one daughter, Arjonnae Manuel (Trey); one granddaughter,
Destyni Gordon; two grandsons, Gregory Gordon, Jr., and Adrian Gordon (Greg Sr.); two sisters, Juanita
Terrell and Rosalyn Frank (Clarence) of Houston, Texas; and a host of nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, cousins
and a very close friend (cousin) of our family, Leslie Jenise Hill; other relatives and friends.
