Adam Malson Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Rochester Hills, Michigan

Adam Malson began getting interested in current events in middle school _ and that prompted a special nickname. "We used to call him 'little Rush Limbaugh,' he was so conservative," his mother, Debra, said. "My dad was always very political. He adopted those views. He just felt it was important to defend his country." Malson, 23, of Rochester Hills, Mich., was killed Feb. 19 by a suicide bomber in Baghdad while assisting a wounded Iraqi woman on her way to a mosque. He was based at Fort Drum. Malson graduated from Michigan State University in 2003. He played football, wrestled and in high school was recruited for the shot put because of his size. His sister, Amy, said though she was the big sister, he was always the strong one. "We were complete opposites. I used to wonder how we came from the same people. He was always fearless and brave," she said. "He always had to be the best. If he couldn't excel, he didn't want to do it." That included academics, specifically grade point average. "I'm sure that really irked him, that he had a 3.97," she said. He also is survived by his wife, 1st Lt. Lindsey Malson.
