Jerry Malleus Obituary
A true Angeleno, he graduated from Fairfax High School in 1967, received his Bachelor of Science from USC in 1971, and earned his degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery from USC School of Dentistry in 1975. For over 35 years, Jerry practiced dentistry and throughout retirement, he was an avid numismatist. He was a lifelong sports fan who loved Dodgers baseball and Trojan football. An eternal audiophile, he loved rock n' roll music, live concerts and cranking it up to 11.
He is preceded in death by his parents Gene & Florence (Jacobs) Malleus, in-laws Irving & Rose Gersten, and brother Gene Malleus. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Eileen Malleus, son Shawn (Leigh) Malleus, daughter Erin (Bruce) Malleus-Mayer, son Ryan (Ilana) Malleus and grandchildren Jackson, Lena, Morgan, Ben and Dylan; sister Lesley (Jerry) Littner.
The family would like to extend gratitude to the care teams at Alive Hospice, Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Deepest condolences to Eileen and family. Jerry had wicked smarts and a strong sense of right and wrong, wrapped in a disarming bundle of humor and witticisms. It was a pleasure to have become acquainted with him in 2015, and spending time with him thereafter in many long conversations across the miles and over the years not only on his "second love" of numismatics but also about some ailments of our country and how such might hopefully be cured.... I will always remember fondly our dinner together with Eileen, celebrating his birthday when they were still in the LA area. RIP Jerry -- we miss you.

I knew Jerry when we were kids. Our birthdays were 4 days apart. He was a nice kid and shared the largest orange I had ever seen with me after school one day.
