Terry Malone Obituary
URBANA – Terry Malone, 57 of Urbana, Ohio, passed on Feb. 22, 2025 in the Springfield Regional Medical Center.
He was born on Nov. 26, 1967 in Springfield, Ohio, to mother, Vicki Searles Malone.
Terry was a former volunteer for Champaign County Special Olympics and the Champaign County Library. He spent his teen years at the First Church of God of St. Paris, Ohio. Terry was a lifelong fan of Notre Dame and would cheer for them and anyone playing Ohio State. You could often find him dressed as a Jedi for special events or if he just wanted some attention, which he loved to be the center of. Terry has never met a stranger.
Terry was larger than life and if you met him in his prime you would never forget him. You could find him dressed head to toe in Dallas Cowboys or Notre Dame gear (Go Irish), or as a Star Wars Jedi. He collected and sold comic books, Star Wars toys and other collectibles at local flea markets and toy shows. He loved spending time with his friends talking about light sabers, comic books or how Notre Dame didn't get the respect they deserve.
Terry married his high school sweetheart in 1992, Gloria (Oakley) Malone. Gloria shared his love of Notre Dame and the Cowboys but would often be seen rolling her eyes at him.
He is survived by Charles Searles, whom he was raised by. He is also survived by step-brothers, Wesley (Evelyn) Searles and Chris Searles; along with many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Vicki Malone Searles and step-sister, Tracy Searles Bost.
There will be no services. If you wish to honor Terry's memory, please donate to PAWS Animal Shelter or another animal charity of your choice.
The family of Terry is being served by VERNON FAMILY FUNERAL HOMES in Urbana, Ohio.
