Manlee was a Veteran of the United States Army Reserves, served as a director of the Monroe County Electric Cooperative for 21 years, past member of St. John UCC - Maeystown Church Council. Manlee was a leader of the Golden Eagles 4-H Club. He was retired from the Iron Workers Local 396 out of St. Louis, MO after working on buildings all across the St. Louis region for over 33 years. Although being an Ironworker was his occupation, his passion was working on the farm, raising cattle, and hunting. This year marks 150 years that the property off LL Road has been owned by a Trost family member. Manlee and JoAnn are the current owners of the farm originally purchased by Manlee's great great grandfather William Trost, Sr. Manlee and his family devoted countless hours raising and showing Hereford cattle. In 2022 Manlee was inducted into the Illinois Hereford Association Hall of Fame.
His biggest devotion was to his wife, sons, daughters-in-law and his precious grandchildren.
As an expression of sympathy the family prefers memorial contributions to: Hospice of Southern Illinois, Monroe County Extension and 4-H Education Foundation, or Donor's choice
