Emanuel N. Ginnis

August 21, 1959~February 16, 2023
Emanuel Ginnis, 63, of Tarpon Springs, passed away on February 16, 2023.
Emanuel was born on August 21, 1959 to Nick and Thelma Ginnis in Campbell, Ohio. After graduating from Campbell Memorial High School in 1977, Emanuel went on to study accounting and engineering at Akron University and Youngstown State University.
Emanuel then moved on to work with his father in the bridge painting industry. It was at this time that he met and fell in love with Jeannette DeTunno. As high school student sweethearts they were married in 1983 and were with each other through all of life’s ups and downs the next forty years.
Emanuel and Jeannette would go on to have three daughters, Annita, Themelina and Makayla. Emanuel was a wonderful and devoted father, husband and Papou. He always taught us to put family first and supported us all throughout the many accomplishments and difficulties of our lives. When Emanuel wasn’t working on welding projects, he could be found playing with his grandchildren, Abel, Nicholas, Abigail and Jettson or tinkering in his warehouse. An avid clay shooter and Harley enthusiast, Emanuel dedicated much of his time at the Silver Dollar Gun Club or working on his motorcyles listening to Ozzy’s Boneyard.
Emanuel was predeceased by his father, Nick Ginnis and sister, Bertha Ginnis. He is survived by his loving wife, Jeannette Ginnis; children, Annita (Nick) Kopteros, Themelina (David) Schaub, Makayla (Matthew) Chuey. Grandchildren: Nicholas and Caylas Kopteros, Abel and Abigail Schaub and Jettson Chuey. His mother, Thelma Ginnis; siblings: Calliope Mona, Anna Saker, Mary Makris; as well as his beloved aunts, uncle, cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
The viewing will be on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Service to immediately follow at 1:00 PM. A procession will take place at 2:30 PM driving past the families home and ending at Cycadia Cemetery. After the burial, a “Celebration of Life” dinner will follow at Spanos Pappas Hall in Tarpon Springs.

Y’all I can’t express the sorrow I feel right now. When Pam told us I just couldn’t believe it. Still can’t. We all grew up together and had some good times which makes this all the more difficult. On behalf of Diane and I and my family please accept our deepest condolences and may God bless and comfort all of y’all!! Manoli may your memory be forever eternal. Rest in peace my brother.

Στο tarpon springs πένθιμα θα παίξει η καμπάνα,
μα και η Κάλυμνος θαρό θα κλάψει σαν μια μάνα..

Για τον Μανώλη που έφυγε πρόωρα δίχως άλλο,
Και το κενό που άφησε πάντα θα’ναι μεγάλο.

Πάντα σε διακρίνανε τα κάλλη της ψυχής σου,
Και ήσουν πάντα αγαπητός σε όλη τη ζωή σου.

Φίλοι γνωστοί και συγγενείς και πατριώτες όλοι, Ώσπου να ζουν θα ζεις κι εσύ μα και σ’ αυτή την πόλη.

With a broken 💔 and memories for ever, your friend Tom

An incredibly kind and funny man. He showed me kindness when I was new to trap. His love of life, family, friends, and dogs made him a fast friend. He will be missed.

I only knew you for a short few years, but anytime I’d visit Florida or you’d come back to Ohio, you took over a room. Enjoyed visiting your house and seeing your gun collection, having Chance go crazy with you refusing to put him away, and walking the area around your house with the family. You and Aunt J always took care of Kara and I. You will be missed dearly and the void you’ve left among friends and family will remain. You will be talked about for as long as we are here.

Dear Mrs.Ginnis and Family, my husband, and I extend our deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your dear Husband Emanuel. We had the pleasure of meeting both of you at Matthew and Makayla’s wedding. He was so, so happy, and you could tell he was overjoyed with the marriage of your daughter Makayla and Matthew. I then introduced ourselves, and said that I was Karen’s Sister, and Matthew my nephew. The smile on his face remained, and looking back, we felt so grateful to have met he and you that day. May the memories of your and your husbands lives together, and the love that you shared live eternally in your heart. Also, may the love of dear family and friends give strength to you in the days to come. We will remember all of your family and Emanuel in our prayers. With love and heartfelt sympathy, Terry and Marianne Murphy

Dearest Makayla, We extend our most heart felt sympathy to you in the loss of your dearest father. You and your family have been in our prayers, for the strength that you will need at this most difficult time. We hope that the love of family and friends will be of great comfort in the days to come. Knowing that your father was able to see and hold your, and Matthew’s new son Jettson, his precious Grandson seems to be a miracle in itself. As he proudly held him, the look in his eyes was pure love of a Grandfather. It is a blessing that his spirit and love will carry on in your son all the days of his life. And you Makayla, may all your memories of your dear father, the laughter, the smiles, all your life, live on in your heart forever, and bring you peace. We love you, Uncle Terry and Aunt Marianne

Calliope, Anna, Jeannette and family. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss of such a great person. Although I had not seen him in over 40 years, Manuel reached out to me a little while ago. We chatted mostly about family and fishing. His kind gesture is something I will never forget and speaks to the type of person he was. May he rest in peace.
