Mikki "Keeker" R. Manning

Mikki Renee Marie Manning of Grand Rapids, MN, left this world far too soon on September 8, 2025.  It is with heavy hearts that we announce this unexpected passing of Mikki or "Keeker" as she was known to many.  She was only 42 and her sudden loss will leave a deep ache in the lives of all who knew her.

She was born on March 24, 1983, to Mickey Roberts and Karol Manning.  Keeker was a lover, but a fighter.  She had her own voice and she stood firmly for what she believed in.  Her generosity was limitless as she would help anyone in need and would give the shirt off her back in below freezing weather.  A true soul of creativity, Keeker had a deep love of music and a unique fashion sense and style.  Whether sharing life's joys or offering comfort during challenges, she gave of herself with love and sincerity.

Keeker is survived by her parents Mickey and Karol, adored children Damian, Bradley, Ava Jayne and Joseph, siblings Bean (Jeremiah) and Tammy Jo, Her grandma Deal and grandpa Butta Roberts, nephews Gabe, Adrian and Ashtan, aunts and uncles Terri "Odie", Kent, Ginner, Tammy, Dida and Patrick, beloved cats Lucy and Trixy and many dear friends and all of those who have loved her.

She is reunited in peace with all who have gone before her, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
