Daniel Maloney Obituary
The son of Dr. Edward Maloney and Mary Sheridan Maloney. Loving brother to Thomas, the late Sharon, the late Patrick (Irene) and his Irish twin Nancy Kelly. Devoted spouse to Judy Maloney. Adoring father to Molly (Javier) Duran, Shannon (Vito) Giovingo and Kelly. Fond Papa to Alex, Max and Josephine. Cherished uncle to numerous nieces and nephews. Proud Godfather. Patriarch of the Kahoonie Clan, his beloved Notre Dame community.
A career educator of high school science and a track and field coach, Daniel was also an educator and coach in the broadest sense. He loved to jovially quiz people about random facts, big ideas where misconceptions often reigned or whatever topic he had been learning about recently. Daniel touched the lives of thousands of students and athletes in his long career and will be greatly missed. A celebration of life with family and friends will be planned in the future when circumstances allow.

We grew up next door to your dad and his family. I met your mom in high school before she and your dad began dating. What I remember most was the humor and laughter we shared as kids, teens and later as adults. Dan found humor in most everything. He kept life light. May he Rest In Peace as his job is finished. He will be missed.

I have so many fond memories of Mr. Maloney, and all of them revolve around heartfelt conversations at the Maloney home. We discussed the history of the Chicago Bears, White Sox, Notre Dame and the Illini. However, the most impactful conversations we had revolved around teaching. I loved listening to his stories, how he engaged students, and how the profession has evolved and changed. When I was student teaching and then became a teacher he would ask how things were going and then help me find solutions to struggles I was having. Mr. Maloney was truly one of the best, and he will be dearly missed.

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Danny's sudden death. I have known the family since high school days and watched most of them grow into fine adults.
Dan was a great person who was always willing to have a debate on many subjects. A great "Domer" and Sox fan who will be missed.
