Kevin Malott Obituary

Published by Sneider & Sullivan & O’Connell’s Funeral Home and Cremation Service on Jul. 26, 2018.
Kevin Malott, MD, Clinical Associate Professor, Stanford Medicine, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, passed through this life on July 26, 2018 at the age of 49 years old, in San Mateo, California. Kevin was born December 26, 1968, and is preceded in death by his father, Steven Malott. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jocelyn Malott, his mother and step father, Sandy and Larry Short in Tehachapi, CA, his brother Mark Malott and sister in law Linda of Lancaster, His step brother Darren Short, his wife Tammy and his four children, Justin and Elissa Malott of San Jose, as well as Paul and Jason Barrera of San Francisco. His nieces Breanna, Jeremy, Tiffany, Trysten and Trinity. Kevin's own childhood included living in the dry desert air of Tehachapi and the coastal cool breezes of Santa Barbara. He enjoyed both locations. A high school tennis star and academic standout, Kevin was awarded a scholarship to attend U.C. Irvine as a premed student. He went on to complete his doctoral work at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. After accepting a coveted residency at Stanford, he worked as an Anesthesiologist with Adult and Pediatric patients. He was voted the Stanford "Excellence in Teaching Award" by graduating residents, as they valued his skills as a physician, and a teacher. Kevin's talents, and his kind and giving heart extended beyond the operating room and the classroom. He valued his medical missions, and took his talent and expertise on missions in Rwanda, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and Vietnam. In addition to his global service, he will also be remembered for his deep, abiding love of his family, his expansive love of art and literature and his mellow, easy going disposition as he encouraged everyone to follow his lead and 'take it easy'. At this time, as we honor his life and memory, and urge you to embrace life in the spirit that he did. Details of the memorial service will be provided later in the week. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts be made to Medical Missions for Children and/or Stanford University Anesthesia Department Kevin Malott Memorial fund.

I'm so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Mallott. He didn't like to be called that in the OR, he rather introduced himself as "Kevin" which at once spoke to me how easy going and down to earth he was. Kevin, you were one of the docs that stood out to me when I first started working at Stanford and I looked forward to having you as the anesthesiologist in the room. You showed true compassion for not only your patients but for your colleagues. It was an honour and a pleasure to work alongside with you. My condolences to your family and I pray you are at eternal peace watching over your loved ones.

My deepest condolences to the family of Kevin Malott. I've known him from his residency years at Stanford Hospital and Clinics(old moniker). He was truly a compassionate man with a down-to-earth personality. From greeting him in my mornings in the locker room to working beside him in the OR or other regions, he was unwavering in his demeanor: calm, cool and collected. I'm truly shocked and saddened at his passing. :-( May you rest in Paradise, Kevin. Thank you for blessing us with your great personality and presence.

Kevin, you are an embodiment of what it means to be humorous, kind, and generous.
You make the people around you a better person with your personality, intelligence, and humor. I never laugh as hard as when you and Jocelyn are around. We also learned never to challenge you in anything trivia because we will always loose :).
You, as one person, have done so much to improve humanity around you than a whole village. Countless number of students at your medical school have benefited from your contributions, the physicians whom you helped to educate, not only has the patients at Stanford have benefitted by your expertise but also the patients whom you gave up time to aid in third world countries. Kevin, you are forever in our hearts, our memories, you have reached every part of the world with your generosity.

Thank you my friend, it has been a privileged to have you include us in your life.

I was fortunate enough to work and teach with Kevin for many years at Stanford, and was lucky enough to travel to Rwanda with him on a medical mission. I have rarely met anyone so giving, so calm, and completely devoid of any hang ups. It was my honor to have known him. Rest in peace Kevin.

Dear Jocelyn. I too was very saddened when I heard about Kevin. I keep thinking of you, and I pray for your strength and comfort in these difficult times. Kevin was the nicest and kindest anesthesiologist I ever worked with. Outside of work, I remember going to your house in Union City. He had a gift of making people feel at ease. Rest in peace, Kevin.
