Braden Lee Mancini

With sadness, we announce the passing of Braden Lee “Brad” Mancini Sunday, January 12, 2025, in his home in Morgantown, with his family at his side.
Born October 9, 1959, in Morgantown, Brad lived a life characterized by dedication, skill, and love.
Brad loved his Lord, and knew that he had a home in Heaven waiting for him.
He owned and operated the Valley Auto Service for several years, providing reliable service to the community.
His expertise was not limited to cars as he had a special talent for working on and rebuilding dirt bikes. In his leisure, Brad wielded his bow with precision, a testament to his avid interest in bow hunting. His love for the outdoors was further exemplified by his enjoyment of fishing and hiking.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Melody Miller Mancini; his loving children, Aubree Brown (Nick), and Braden Mancini (Taylor). His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Scott Brown, Nathan Brown, and Emma Mancini. He is also survived by his brother, Jim Mancini (Terri); nephew, Allen Mancini (Erica) and their son, Nico; and his father-in-law, Glenn Miller.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Helen Mancini.
Brad was a beacon of strength and dedication in our lives, and his presence will be sorely missed. He has left an indelible imprint on the hearts of those who were fortunate to have known him.
The family would like to extend its sincere appreciation to the staff of WVU Medicine Hospice, and Dr. Carl Shrader for their dedication and support through Brad’s illness.
At his request, no public services will be held. Brad will be interred at Beverly Hills Memorial Gardens in a private graveside service for his immediate family.
Smith Funeral & Cremation Care of Westover (304-292-9494) is providing compassionate professional services to the family.
Condolences and other gifts of comfort may be offered to the family at www.smithfcc.com.
