Jonathan O'Malley Memoriam

O'MALLEY Jonathan O'Malley, 33, of Key Largo, left our world on March 18, 2014. Born into commercial fishing, Jon had a never-ending love for boats and the sea. He grew up on Grassy Key and attended Stanley Switlik Elementary before finishing school in Cordele, Georgia. In 2004, Jon entered the military to serve his country. Upon release to civilian life, he moved to Navarre in the Florida panhandle and became a jack-of-all-trades. He spent some time commercial fishing, learned to set tile, worked for an eco-electric company and helped his dad build a boat. He returned to the Keys in 2011 and was a chef at Mrs. Macs 2 and Tasters restaurants. He recently completed Bartending School, loved to play pool at Sharkey's and fished when he could. Jon was preceded in death by grandparents, Frank Oldham, Bernie and Loretta Gigliotti, and uncle Les Brown. He leaves behind his beautiful, almost 4-year old daughter, Presley O'Malley and her mom, Danielle Ashmore of Navarre, Fl, mother, Diane Scudder, Key Colony Beach, father, Timothy (Kitty) O'Malley, Ft. Walton Beach, sisters Christina O'Malley, Miami, Nature (Jacob) Hancock, Sylvester, Ga., grandmother, Verna Oldham, Albany, Ga., aunts, Debbie Gigliotti (Kurt), Weston, Fl, Laura Dillard, Pensacola, uncle Patrick (Irene) O'Malley, Kingman, Az., cousin, Rendi Dillard, Pensacola, Fl., partner Hope Vargas, Key Largo, family friends John (Joy) Guessford, Charlie (Pam) Thompson, Navarre, and too many friends to count. On April 13, 2014, from 1:00pm - sunset, a celebration of life will be held at The Caribbean Club. At 11:00 am a scattering of the ashes ceremony will return Jon to the sea he loved, followed by a return to the crib. All friends are welcome.

I cant believe im actually writting this. All i can say is wow. When i got the message that you passed i didnt know how to think. You may or may not remember me but i remember alot about you. You were one of my first father figures. One of the first men i would look up to. I even remember joking around with a family member or friend and adding your last name to mine cause i thought we were actually related. Even though i have faint memories of you and our time together i still know you were apart of my life. I hope your at peace wherever you are. Love, Kira.

Beyond the losses in life, New hope will always survive; For the heart that trust in God, New hope will be found alive In the early morning light, Yes at the coming of dawn, Hope shall ever be renewed AS another day is born, And God will strengthen the heart For the day that lies ahead; Beyond the losses in life.

You will be missed.

Jonathan,
Although our marriage didn't last, we still had a lot of great and wonderful times and memories, I'll never forget when you asked my Dad for my hand in marriage, he said join the army and then you can marry her, I knew at that moment you loved me unconditionally because you went straight to the army recruiters. I know he never told you but he was very proud of you as was I. I still can't believe your gone, I'm really going to miss the out of the blue phone calls that always came at the right time. I know your in a better place but it doesn't make it any easier for us here on earth. Thank you for keeping your promises. You will be forever missed.
Love,
Tammy OMalley
