Justin Michael Mangipano, Jr.

With profound love and broken hearts we sadly announce that our beautiful baby boy, Justin Michael Mangipano, Jr. gained his precious angel wings on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 10:10 a.m., weighing 3 pounds 12.5 ounces and 16" long. God decided he was needed more in heaven, since he was far too perfect for earth. His new home in heaven, is where he will watch over his parents, siblings and family, to smile from above as their guardian angel. Even though he never opened his eyes, he knew nothing but love. His parents were so proud and overjoyed waiting for his arrival, with aspirations of being in sports, playing catch in the yard and then being drafted by the NFL, now he will live on in the memories of his swift kicks, hiccups and jabs in his mothers belly.

He leaves behind his adoring parents, Harley and Justin Mangipano Sr.; siblings, Zane Sticker, Payton Mangipano, Brantley Anthony, Raylyn Anthony; grandparents, Melissa Walker, Tony Mangipano, Tammy Mangipano, Larry and Donna Criss; great-grandparents, Bonnie Lee Mansfield, Larry Wayne Criss, Carol Mangipano, Jeaneen Schoenberger, and Nancy Henderson; family pet, Chloe-Mae; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.

Preceding him in death were his aunt, Lyndsey Regina Sticker; great grandparents, Henson Martin Mansfield, Bob Mangipano, Edwin Leonard Schoenberger, Sr.

Family and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home, 2000 N. Morrison Blvd., Hammond, Louisiana.
