Obituary
Gary (Gee) J. Manfredi Jr. 27, of Cranston, RI passed away on Thursday March16, 2023. Born on February 5, 1996, in Providence, RI, he was the beloved son of Tracy L. Mikkelson and Gary J. Manfredi of Cranston, RI. Gee spent his earlier years growing up in Warwick RI where he attended Wyman Elementary, Aldrich Jr. High School, Pilgrim High School, and later Cranston East High School.
He worked at Ocean State Job Lot and many times alongside his dad Gary assisting in carpet installations. From a young age, Gee had a love of music - and found it to be medicine for his soul. He expressed himself through his passion for tattoos and took pride in his love for camping and his deep admiration for the outdoors. In his younger years Gee enjoyed baseball, soccer, and football. Gee was a free spirit with an eccentric personality. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone he loved.
More than anything, Gee cherished his family and loved those in his life fortunate enough to have been his friend. His humor, silliness, courage, and infectious smile will always be remembered.
In addition to his parents, he leaves behind loving siblings: Ashley Danielle Crossman, Jasmin Samantha Jaiman, Gia Jaiman, Ja-Laina Jaiman, Jeshwa Jaiman and Genevieve Jaiman. He also leaves his Grandfather Samuel Manfredi of Warwick, his true love Alexia Smith of Cranston and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews; and many dear friends. Gary is reunited with his brother the late Jovanni Jaiman and his biological father the late Austin Jaimin.
