Obituary for Warren E. Mannix
CLIFTON PARK Warren E. Mannix, 77, of Raleigh Dr. and formerly of Cohoes entered into eternal rest Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020 at St. Peter’s Hospital with his oldest daughter at his side.
Born in Cohoes, Warren was the son of the late James and Agnes Van Every Mannix. He graduated from Cohoes High School and served in the US Army during the Vietnam War. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in education and mathematics from Siena College and later received his Master’s in classroom teaching and mathematics from SUNY Albany. Warren was a standout basketball player in high school and continued to play while in the army and at Albany State.
Warren started teaching at Cohoes High School in 1969 where he taught math and then photography until retiring in 1998. While at CHS, he had a very successful career, coaching both Boys and Girls Junior Varsity Basketball teams to multiple Colonial Council league titles, and more recently coaching Girls Varsity Basketball, where he captured back to back Section II titles. Warren had a very positive influence on the lives of hundreds of kids that he taught and coached throughout his career. He also had served as President of the Cohoes Teachers’ Assoc. for 14 years and belonged to the American Mensa Society.
Warren was a man of many interests and ambitions. He worked as a licensed real estate agent for Prudential Realty since 1990. He owned and operated Warren Mannix Wedding Photography for over 30 years and had been employed at ImageWork Technologies. Finally, he was an adjunct professor at Siena College in Loudonville.
Warren was beloved in his community. He had so many friends who he valued and loved socializing with, particularly playing golf. He loved to travel and was thrilled to have had the opportunity to stay in France twice over the last few years. He loved the serenity of his camp near Sacandaga lake where he would spend summers, visiting with friends on "the rock."
He was a life-long, passionate artist. He loved everything and all things about art, visiting museums and creating his own art. Not only did he create beautiful wedding albums for his clients, Warren shot many artistic photographs, painted, sketched with charcoal, and studied pastels in France. Warren had many interests and he pursued them all with great enthusiasm.
Beloved father, respected teacher, esteemed colleague, winning basketball coach and dedicated friend, Warren will be sorely missed.
Warren was the loving father of Stacy Hamilton-Every of Westfield, MA and Mindy Mannix of Clifton Park; the brother of James W. Mannix (Jeanine) of Clifton Park and the late Robert and Patricia Mannix. He is also survived by his 3 adored grandchildren, Logan, Moia and Quinn as well as by his nephew, David and nieces, Debbie and Michelle.
Relatives and friends may visit with Warren’s family Saturday from 1-4 p.m. at the Fitzgerald Funeral Home, 105 Vliet Blvd., Cohoes. Masks will be required and social distancing and occupancy regulations will be observed.
