Malcolm "Mac" Edward Goldsby, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away in Montgomery County, Texas on May 31, 2025. Mac was born on February 4, 1931 in Amite, Louisiana. His rural childhood adventures solidified his love of the great outdoors. He was proud of his Louisiana heritage and had a keen interest in family genealogy. He was the 1948 senior class president of Amite high school and after graduation he proudly served in the US Air Force for 6 years during the Korean War. He was a founding member of the Valley Lodge Trail Ride Association and head Trail Boss for 6 years, as well as a Lifetime Member of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. He owned Goldsby's Auto Service, an Exxon service station, for 40 years. He also owned a hamburger restaurant called PO-MACS Hamburgers that catered to the local Memorial area. He met the love of his life, Martha Ann Mahoney, while visiting Kemah, TX during his high school summer vacation. They kept up their long-distance relationship and were married after his Air Force service was over. They enjoyed raising their family, entertaining guests, community activities, and traveling extensively in their later years. Their travels enabled them to meet new people and share their love of history. They were lovingly married just short of 67 years. Mac was an avid outdoorsman and devoted father who taught his children hunting and fishing. He was also a skilled fix-it man who could repair almost anything. He passed along this ability to his children. He had an impeccable memory and loved to talk and share his stories with everyone. He is survived by his son, Malcolm Goldsby (Maribeth) and grandchildren, John and Chris; his son, Michael Goldsby (Sue) and grandchildren, Austin, Sean and Marshall; his daughter, Mary Goldsby; his sister-in-law, Eileen Evans; cherished longtime family friend, Marsha Hawkins; and dear friend, Erica Zelek .
