Emuel J Menifield

Emuel J. Menifield was a young man from Kansas City whose life, like so many brief lives, is remembered most fully by those closest to him. Public records show he was 21 years old when he died on April 18, 2010; beyond that basic fact the public record offers only limited detail about his everyday life. That scarcity of public information does not lessen the value of his life — it simply reminds us how much of a person’s story often remains held by family, friends and neighbors.

What is verifiable is that Emuel lived in Kansas City and was part of a community of people who gathered in the neighborhoods where they lived. He was a young adult at a time of hopes and possibilities, and his passing at 21 meant a future of relationships, work, and experiences that will now be carried forward in the memories of those who loved him. Public notices from local authorities at the time identify him by name and age and record the date he died.

Because publicly available sources about Emuel’s life beyond the basic facts are limited, this remembrance intentionally focuses on what is certain and on the quiet dignity owed to every person: that he mattered, that his life had meaning to family and friends, and that his loss was felt. If you are a family member or friend and would like this page to better reflect Emuel’s full life — his passions, work, education, favorite moments, and the people who mattered most to him — please share those details so they can be preserved here in his memory.

May Emuel J. Menifield be remembered for the person he was to those who knew him, and may this page serve as a small, respectful place to acknowledge his life.
