Michael O'Malley Obituary

Michael Walter O'Malley, 70, of Westminster, Maryland, died peacefully at home on March 29, 2020. Michael, born December 9, 1949, was the son of the late Joseph and Lillian O'Malley. He grew up and spent most of his life in Brooklyn, Maryland. He is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 46 years, Alice O'Malley. Also surviving are sons, Michael (Sara, grandson Sean) and Joseph O'Malley; three brothers Patrick (Judy), Joseph (Robyn) and Timothy (Carol) O'Malley, brother-in-law Eben Grover, 10 nieces and nephews, and many great-nieces and nephews. He will join in heaven his parents, Joseph and Lillian, a sister, Kathleen McKenney, a nephew, Timmy and his mother-in-law, Delores. Michael, an Army veteran, served as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service for over 20 years, and made friends with all of the neighbors on his routes. While the postal service may have been his career, his favorite job was being a father. Michael was an amateur story teller, and could have the whole room laughing in a matter of minutes. He was a Baltimorean through and through, and loved following the Orioles and Ravens. Michael and his wife, Alice, moved to Carroll County last year to be closer to their grandson Sean, with whom he had a special bond. He will remain in our hearts for our lifetimes, and his stories will be passed down for generations to come. Due to the current social distancing guidelines, a private ceremony will be held for the immediate family. A memorial will be held for family and friends when it is safe to do so. Arrangements by Fletcher Funeral & Cremation Services in Westminster. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.FLETCHERFUNERALHOME.net.

Wow! Just thought this would never happen. What a friend. What a father. He will be missed. He will live in our hearts and minds. Words can not adequately describe this loss to the family and especially Alice. All the love in the world goes out to the family.

I love you brother . I feel very fortunate to have called you my brother and friend. Your kindness, undeniable love for your family, your unwavering support for the Colts, Orioles , and Ravens..... and your incredible sense of timing with humour will always be with us . I thank you for being so kind to me as a younger brother. You were my baseball idle growing up as I watched you pitch at 6th street field on the big diamond. I still remember vividly waiting for your calls at night to us at home from the American Legion Regionals when you played for Dewey Lowman Post 109. Your curve ball broke more bats and hitters hearts then any I have ever seen ! As your obituary reads so beautifully, you had an incredible gift for story telling and I know that would make Mom so proud because she too could tell a good story. Out of all the things you could say about a person, I believe the greatest thing that can be said is that he or she always made you feel better every time you were around them. You clearly made me always feel better and I know you did for so many others. The center of your universe was Alice and I know you adored her and I know she adored you as well. There was never a prouder husband or father than you and I can add Grandfather to that as well. I will miss you everyday the rest of my life . Thank you for being the kind of brother everyone wishes they had ! My Love, Joe
