Hida Mangum
1944 – 2026

Hida David Mangum was born in 1944 and lived a life that left a lasting mark on all who knew him. He passed from this world in 2026, and with him went a presence that his family will feel the absence of every day.

To those who loved him, Hida was first and foremost a father. That role shaped who he was and how he moved through the world. The bond he built with his children was the kind that does not fade with time, and the lessons he passed along, whether spoken plainly or simply lived out in front of them, will continue to be felt long after he is gone.

He lived 82 years, and in that time he experienced the full measure of what life offers, its ordinary moments just as much as its significant ones. Families are built on both, and Hida understood that. The everyday routines, the quiet conversations, the times he simply showed up, these are the things his children will carry with them.

Hida David Mangum will be remembered not through grand gestures but through the steady, faithful presence he offered to the people he loved. He was a father, and he took that seriously. That is a legacy worth honoring.
