Pete Mann was fatally injured in an ag accident March 7. NAAA extends our sympathies to his friends and family. He was 67 years old at the time of his passing. Pete was born in Willows, California, Jan. 1, 1957.
Pete knew he wanted to be a pilot at a young age and took his first flying lesson at 16. He started Mann & Sons Ag. Aviation in 1981 along with his parents and brother. He had a 42-year career as an ag pilot. He loved spending time with his family and at the airport.
Pete is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Leslie; their two children, Pete Mann Jr. and Tasha Mann; his mother, brother and sister; and numerous nieces and nephews. Pete’s family asks that donations in his memory be sent to Field of Dreams, a nonprofit dedicated to making outdoor activities like hunting and fishing accessible to special needs kids, military veterans and their children, at P.O.
