Manish Paul Mallavarapu

Manish, you were a great person to be around, always so inviting and friendly. I am very thankful to have gotten to know you over many years.

You truly fought a hard battle, and now you are resting peacefully with our God. Thank you for showing your faith and being a testament to everyone around you. Even when you were suffering, you praised God in every moment.

This was the verse Manish shared with me when I asked him what was giving him faith:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalms 27:1

Rest easy, friend. You were a great friend, brother and son.

My condolences to Thomas uncle, Amrutha aunty, and Nitish. Praying for peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Dear Brother Thomas, Sister Amrutha, and Nitish,
We are very sad to hear about the loss of Manish. He was always a kind and respectful young man, and we will miss him very much. It was a blessing to see him grow up with our children, and we feel his loss deeply.
We are praying that God will give your family peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Manish was such a caring and loving person which we understood the way he took care of Aashritha even though he doesn't know any of us. In this time of grief our prayers are with you Rekha and Thomas. Dear Nitish no words can heal your heart from the loss of an elder brother. We can only say that God will give you courage to face this situation.🙏

Our heartfelt condolences to you all. May God’s peace and comfort surround you during this difficult time. Manish will be deeply and dearly missed. His kind smile and gentle spirit never went unnoticed. Always in our hearts. Rest in peace.

“If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Dearest Manish, in your life and in your death, we have seen God glorified.
We desired, prayed and hoped to see you stand in our midst and testify to God’s goodness. God in Love, chose you to enter into His presence instead. And at your funeral, you drew us all together, every one whose lives you touched by your loving, caring and thoughtful ways and pointed us to the one True God, to whom we all belong and in whom we all have the hope of living together in eternity, where there will be no pain, suffering or tears. In The Presence of Our Triune God we shall live in Peace.
Dear Manish you will be missed dearly but will always live in our hearts.
Amruta, Bala and Nitish our prayers surround you and know we are here for you always.

Manish, it’s hard to imagine this world as being a place without you. I am grateful to have grown up with you and have seen you grow into a kind, gentle and compassionate young man. You lived life with grace and showed even greater faith and strength in your struggle. We will miss you deeply and cherish the memories we made growing up together until we meet again in heaven.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another”John 1:7

Manish, I still can’t believe you’re gone. You will be missed greatly and I will always remember the fun memories with you growing up. You were very kind hearted and full of light, always making people laugh. I know you are in a better place and I know that one day, by God’s grace, we will meet again. Rest Peacefully 🕊️

We are extremely saddened by the loss of Manish. Manish was kind, humble, polite and always smiling. We miss Manish!
We have a hope that we will see Manish one day.

Our heart felt condolences to Sis Amrutha, Bro Thomas and Nitish.

We pray that our Lord grant comfort, strength & peace during this difficult time.

Manish was the kind of person whose presence quietly made the world a better place. At just 29, he carried a depth of kindness and warmth that many strive for a lifetime to achieve. He had a rare gift not just of talent, but of truly connecting with people. Whether through a simple conversation, a shared laugh, or his thoughtful care for others, Manish made everyone feel seen and valued.

He was incredibly gifted, yet humble in the way he lived and loved. His sweetness was not just in words, but in actions in the way he showed up for people, in the way he listened, and in the way he gave of himself so generously. To know him was to experience genuine goodness.

Though his time with us feels far too short, the impact he leaves behind is lasting. His kindness, his spirit, and the love he shared will continue to live on in all who had the blessing of knowing him. Manish will always be remembered not just for what he did, but for who he was a truly beautiful soul.

May he rest in peace, and may his memory forever be a source of light and inspiration.

Dear brother Thomas, sister Amrutha, & Nitish, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. We miss him dearly and he is special to us. We were fortunate to see him in the hospital and spend some time with him. We ask God to give your family comfort, strength and peace during this tough time.Our hope is to see him at the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to be with him for eternity. Continue to be strong in faith.
Vijay and family

Manish, you were a great friend and a wonderful person and you will be missed.
I remember we used to hangout as kids watching Naruto and playing games at church.
You were really cool and an authentic person.

Rest in Peace, Much love
Stephen

I’m struggling to find the words because losing you still doesn’t feel real. You were always kind, humble, caring, and made everyone laugh with your humour. Even in your suffering you never showed it and made us laugh with your jokes.
Thank you for being a great friend and giving me memories that I’ll always hold on to and cherish.

The fight you fought, the faith you had, and the courage you showed is truly inspiring. I hold on to the hope that one day we’ll meet again. You will be deeply missed my friend.

Dearest Rekha, Cannot believe that Thomas, Nitish and you are going through this incomprehensible, senseless heartache 😢😢 Sandhya and I are shattered and unable to wrap our heads around this. Heard so much about Manish’s kind & loving nature …met the child just once at Annapurna’s place and here is the picture I have of him.
Rekha, You are our baby sister and we are unable to even hug you or hold hands during this ordeal 😢😢 I am sure Manish’s gentle soul will always be by his little brother & precious parents🙏🏽🙏🏽 Naana, no words😢😢😢
A wife who loses a husband is called a widow.
A husband who loses a wife is called a widower.
A child who loses his parents is called an orphan.
There is no word for a parent who loses a child.
That’s how awful the loss is.
– Jay Neugeboren — An Orphan’s Tale — 1976

Eternal rest grant unto him o Lord and let perpetual light shine on him for ever.
My heartfelt condolences to the Thomas and Amrutha. I can imagine the pain you are going through at this difficult time. May God grant divine consolation and strength to your family. You family is in my prayers. I am offering a mass for his soul.

It’s hard to say goodbye.
I’ll always cherish the memories we shared hiking, camping, outings, and simply being part of that circle.
You were a kind, humble, and patient listener truly someone anyone loved being around.
Seeing you go through so much during your illness, fighting with such strength and grace, was deeply moving. You never showed your suffering and never lost your smile. I’m so grateful you shared how it brought you closer to God & it gives comfort to know you are now in His presence, at peace and free from pain.
You will be missed and fondly remembered. Praying and believing that your soul rests in peace and that God holds you close in His eternal love.

We belong to the Lord." Rom 14.7

We visited Manish in the hospital and he was calm inspite of severe pain. His face showed contentment and confidence. He overcame the fear of
his physical and psychological pain.
He confessed " God is kind to me and helped me a lot"

When we asked him " what is the main prayer request?"
He asked us to pray for his parents and brother for their mental health and strength to face life through the dark days of their family.

Manish prayed for his family till his last breath. An ideal son in his short life on earth.
May his soul rest in peace.

Our heartfelt condolences to you all. May God’s peace and comfort surround you during this difficult time. Manish will be deeply missed. His kind smile and gentle spirit never went unnoticed. Always in our hearts.

May his soul rest in peace..Heartfelt condolences to all his family members

Manish, you were such a smart, quiet and obedient son to your parents. We saw how God helped you through your studies and secure a good job. We are proud of you. We were blessed to know how you carried yourself through your days of illness with resilience, courage and faith in God. You did commit your life to Jesus and Lord Jesus has called you back and you are in the presence of the triune God, free from suffering. I still remember when you acknowledged everything to God and His grace, when the new house was dedicated. We remember you serving God in the Telugu fellowship and leading online meetings during Covid. Amrutha and Bro. Bala have brought up Manish and Nitish very well and provided for them by the grace of the Lord. Our prayers are with Amrutha, Bro Bala and Nithish and to the extended families.

We take comfort that you are in Heaven with our dear Lord and all the Angels, watching over your grieving beloved family members and praying g for their healing.
We love you Manish bete and you will always be missed. Rest at in peace my dear bete 🙏🙏😒🙏

Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks.
You may be gone from my sight, but you are never gone from my heart. Such a sweet and wonderful soul.

​We are deeply saddened by the loss of Manish. This past December, he told us, "Unlike many, I have faith and my parents' love to go through this." These words were a profound witness to his faith amidst suffering and his unwavering hope in his parents' love.
​Manish carried his battle with a constant smile, serving as a powerful example to all of us. Though he was taken at a young age, his memory will endure.
​We miss him dearly, yet we find peace in trusting that he is now in his heavenly abode, surrounded by the joy of the Lord and the company of angels.
​"May the choirs of angels come to greet you, Manish, and lead you into paradise."
​Our deepest condolences to the Mallavarapu family.

Very shocking and couldn't stand for a while. Hope God give much strength to my closest ever friend Bala and family in this difficult time. Manish will be in our memories for ever with his loving smiles.

I am very sad about the loss of my cousin Manish. I don’t know how to react at this moment. May God give strength to the family during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Manish. You will always be remembered and missed.💐

May your beautiful and kind soul Rest in peace my dearest boy! We love you alot and we are going to miss you!

-Mama

Thirteen years ago, when I first came to Canada, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness by a family I will always be grateful for. And among them was a young boy whose gentle nature left a lasting impression on my heart.Even at such a young age, he showed a generosity far beyond his years. He gave up his own room so I could feel comfortable.As the years passed, that same soft-spoken, kind-hearted boy grew into a bright young man full of promise.
I will always remember him as the boy who showed me what true kindness looks like. He may have been young, but his heart was immense. May his soul rest in peace. He will always be remembered, always be missed, and never be forgotten.

Madhu Akka

Gone too soon. Heartbroken to hear about Manish’s passing at such a young age. May his soul rest in peace, and may God give strength to his family to bear this immense loss.

May GOD grant eternal rest to the departed soul of Manish. My sincere heart felt condolences to the family & extended family. May GOD grant strength & courage to the family during this difficult time. May perpetual light shine up on the departed soul of Manish. 🌹🥀🥀🥀🌹✝️☮️

I still remember when you came to Hyderabad. We went out to watch movies in the theater and enjoyed late-night biryanis together. Those simple moments meant so much to me. It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. I miss you deeply, and I will always hold those memories close to my heart.

Extreamly sad and shocking to know the untimely demise of Msnish Mallavarapu at the youbg age of 29 yrs. May Almighty give needful strength and courageto the members of family at this most difficult time. My Heart felt condolences
May His SOUL REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE.
KINDLY PROVIDE link for Funeral mass

Babai and Pinni, I still remember Manish as a little boy during his visit to our home — calm, gentle, and with a softness that was so naturally his own. That quiet warmth of his stays with me even today.
I pray to God Almighty to give you both the strength and solace to carry through this time. May Manish rest in eternal peace. 🙏

My deepest condolences, dear Manish. This is truly heartbreaking and difficult to accept. This is a very distressing loss.
May God give strength and courage to Pinni and Babai in this painful time.
Rest in eternal peace Manish 🙏

To borrow a quote from a movie “Finding Graceland”

“Budded on Earth - Blossomed in Heaven”

I cannot believe that you have been taken away from us so soon, Manish - my favourite Nephew.

To say we will miss you is an understatement. Your Gentle, Calm, Collective and always Gracious nature would be missed forever in our Hearts and Minds, as evident in the comments made here by family and friends.

In this moment of grief and sorrow, I take comfort knowing that you exist in another realm which I can only imagine as a far better Universe with a greater Spiritual Dimension.

Whilst words cannot express my sorrow, let alone the sorrow and grief of your Mum - Rekha, Dad - Thomas and Brother - Nitish.
I pray that they find solace in knowing that you lived a short, yet gracious life, surrounded by loving parents, sibling, cousins and extended family. Yet I do not understand how a beautiful life such as yours, can be cut short by terrible illness.

Now - Rest in all of Gods Glory.

Shocked to hear this news!!!!

With profound sorrow, we offer out heartfelt condolences on the passing of Manish. May the Almighty grant eternal peace to his noble soul and bestow strength and solace upon the bereaved family during this difficult time.

So sorry for the loss...May you find strength, and peace in the love and memories you shared with him.
He faced his struggles with courage and touched many hearts with his gentle smile.Manish will always be missed and forever remembered.
We pray that his soul rests in peace and that you find courage to face this great loss.

Very Sorry to hear the Sad news.
We pray for you and pray the Almighty to give Strength to the family in this grief time.Bala please take care 🙏

My dear brother Manish,
You were always calm, composed, and carried a beautiful smile no matter what life brought your way. A strong soul who faced every challenge with courage and grace.
Manish will always be remembered for his kind heart and selfless nature. Your strength and positivity will continue to inspire us every day.
You may be gone from our sight, but you will forever live in our hearts. I will miss you more than words can express.
Miss you, brother.
Deep condolences to Babai and Pinni. May God give them strength in this difficult time.

Twenty‑nine years of life, yet you left a lifetime of impact on all of us. I keep replaying our last Thanksgiving—the laughter, the stories, the comfort of simply being together. And my heart keeps going back to when you and Nishanth were little, growing up side by side, building a bond of brotherhood that will remain with us beyond this lifetime.

We’ll always remember you—not just for your strength, but for the kind, devoted son you were. You fought with a grace and courage that inspired everyone around you. Now you’re finally at peace, free from pain, but your light stays with us. We’ll carry you in our hearts forever.

-Peddamma

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple
Psalm 27:4

Dear Manish,
Love you. You’ve made us incredibly proud with everything you’ve achieved and the way you’ve handled challenges during difficult times. You’ve taught us how to stay strong, face problems with courage, and keep moving forward no matter what. You’ve also shown us how to be kind and gentle, and that means so much.
Thank you, Hope to see you one day!
Aunty Asa

A shocking news hit me yesterday that manish is no more, and I couldn't stop thinking about pinni and babai who put their children before them always.Praying for Great strength and courage to process this. It was a very breif period of knowing manish whom I always remember with a beautiful smile and warmth. Rest in peace manish 💐🙏 and proud of you for battling with so much grace.

Manish. His death has left us all with a hole nothing can repair. He’s the sweetest and kindest soul in all the Epic boys. Whenever I asked him for any favour such as rides he never hesitated always showing his greatness in quiet acts. The love we have for him and the light he brought to every event in the community will now never go unnoticed. I hope when we look in the sky at night he’ll shine as the brightest star and with God by his side have the most peaceful time one could ever imagine. He was always open to conversation and made me laugh even in his last moments. I’m proud to say I’ve known such a man as Manish. Physically he may not be with us but memories will never leave our hearts forever inked in our souls. Rest in peace Manish, thank you for being with us and showing us the greatness in a brave heart and resilience even when troubles burden you. Will miss you forever.

We are deeply saddened to hear about your demise, Manish.

Though we never had the chance to speak with you, we have heard so much about you; enough to know what a truly wonderful soul you were. It’s rare for someone to leave such a strong impression through the words of others, and that speaks volumes about the kind of person you were.

They say God takes the best flowers from the garden first, and it feels especially true today. Your absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved you.

May your soul rest in peace, and may those grieving your loss find strength and comfort in the memories you leave behind.

Manish will always be remembered for his kindness, warmth, and quiet strength. Even in his battle with cancer, he faced everything with courage and grace.

Though I met him only a few times, the last time with my family remains special. He was so welcoming, a truly pure soul. The way he played with Noah and Neriah and spoke to us made us feel instantly like family.

He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

And you are truly very inspiring person.

It was deeply sad to hear about you Manish.May God give strength and courage in this difficult time,my sincere condolences to the family 😞🙏.

Manish, I may not have known you very well, but I can say that you were a really friendly person. I remember when my sister and I visited you in the hospital- it was nice talking to you. Even then, we had a normal conversation, and that meant a lot to me.
I also remember how you used to pick up and drop off my sister and me for Bible Study. I never had to worry about getting home.
Those times, especially with everyone at Epic, were really special, and I won't forget them. Thank you for always being willing to help us like that.
May your soul rest in peace in the presence of our Lord, until we all meet again.

I will always remember that my introduction to this church community actually began at a function in Manish’s home before his marriage.


Even through our limited interactions since then, it was so clear that he was a man of few words whose character spoke volumes. He carried a calm and peaceful presence that truly let his light shine bright.

As I was reflecting on his life today, the hymn 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus' began to play, and it felt like a perfect reminder of the peace he carried. I am grieving with the family and the church, and lifting you all up in prayer.

Manish,
The brave soul, so young but more stronger and matured. A true warrior, may God rest his soul in peace and give strength to his loved ones to realize that his energy n spirits are always around them
Brij Raj Purohit

Though I knew Manish only from afar, his courage and grace through the past two years have been deeply inspiring. Knowing his parents from our days in India, it is clear he carried forward their strength and values. May he rest in peace, and may the family find strength in this difficult time.

It's really shocking and sad to know about the untimely demise of my young cousin Manish. I still remember the day I took him on a motorcycle ride in India. He is very kind hearted and cheerful person. Heartfelt condolences to all our family members and may his soul rest in peace.

Rest in Peace

The most beautiful son in the world! Rest in peace. We miss you.

It was great loss of my lovely brother Manish poul my heart felt condolences to Babai pinni family may God grant eternal blis and peace for this humble SOUL💐💐😢😭🙏
