Michael Richard Malloy, 67, of Rusk went to be with our Lord on February 28, 2025 at his home in Rusk surrounded by his loved ones. He was born November 28, 1957 in Wichita, Kansas on Thanksgiving Day to Everett Audrey Malloy and Edith Carlson Malloy. During his youth, Mike played baseball, basketball and football. He loved to fish and ski. Many of his weekends were spent on the water or at the beach in Matagorda. Though he did it strictly for enjoyment, Mike was an accomplished artist. His paintings reflect his love of the outdoors. Mike graduated from Humble High School, Humble, TX and worked as a TSA Compliance Manager for Ares Air Freight Systems.
