Jerome Malone Obituary
He grew up in a home filled with love and laughter. Following the blueprint of his upbringing, he knew the importance of loving the Lord, working hard, and providing for his family. After graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1976, he quickly entered the workforce. After 42 years of service at Inland Steel Mill and a member of Local 1010, he retired as a journeyman boilermaker.
Bruce will be forever remembered as a devoted and loyal husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. His memories will live on in the hearts of his wife Michelle Blanks Malone, children Essence, Austin (Danyelle), and Alexander "Dan" (Tiffany) Malone, stepdaughter Micaela Watson, grandchildren Emerson Malone and Emmanuel Bridges, brothers Palmer (Tina), Frank (Robin), and Simmie (Angela) Malone Sr., and Uncle Oscar Reeves.
Bruce was predeceased by his wife and high school sweetheart Carol Malone of 40 years, parents Lee Cecil and Sally Malone, brother Cecil Malone, sister Vicki Booker, and Uncle Horace Gotell.

I had the pleasure of working with my good and very reliable friend Jerome, at Arcelor Mittal for many years. He was a quick learner, we worked with blue prints a lot, not always easy, lot of numbers. Jerome had a great attitude and was happy most all the time. Am sorry for the family members, he and his wife Carole were a real team. We think of you a lot Jerome. Our love and memories of you. Carl & Mary Page

The members of Roosevelt Class of 1976 join in expressing our heart-felt sympathy and prayers in the passing of our classmate, Jerome Bruce "Moses" Malone. It is during these times; We can lean on God´s word to comfort us. For he said, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come unto you". We realize that all relationships are dear, and we know that our all-mighty God is gracious and merciful. Cast your cares upon the Lord and he will give you the strength and courage needed to see you through this time of bereavement.

Heard and family are extending their sincere heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences to the Malone family on loss of their dearly beloved brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend and cousin, Jerome. Cuz, you were such a cool, down to earth gentle giant. You helped my family out at my mother's memorial service picnic back in August, 2021. We appreciated you for that.
