Frederick Joseph "Rick" Malchano

Frederick Joseph "Rick" Malchano, 79, of Adams Township, passed away on August 28, 2025 with his loving family at his side. Born on May 16, 1946, in Pittsburgh, he was the third of six children of the late Frederick and Gertrude (Staab) Malchano.

He graduated from North Allegheny High School in 1964 and then spent almost 2 years proudly serving his country in the Army's 1099th Transportation Company during the Vietnam War. He delivered milk for Marburger Dairy and then drove an oil tanker for BP, retiring in 2005. He enjoyed working in his yard and took pride in its upkeep. He also liked attending and watching NASCAR races and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates. He enjoyed fishing, going to the river with his lifelong friends and to the casino.

Rick was married to his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Linda, for 56 years until her death in 2024. He was the loving father of Michelle (Tom) Morrison of Harrisburg, SD., and Jennifer (Chance) Turner of Adams Township; and the proud and adoring Grandpa of Silas Turner, whom he cherished spending time with. Rick is survived by his sister MaryBeth (Steve) Denniston of New York and sisters-in-law, Molly Malchano and Joanna Malchano. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and life-long friends that were more like family. His three brothers, Mark, Jim, and David and sister, Phyllis, preceded him in death.

A gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 10 A.M. until the time of a Celebration of Life Service & Military Honors at 11 A.M. at Boylan Funeral Homes, Inc., 116 E. Main St., Evans City, PA 16033, with the Rev. David Saylor, officiating.
