Kevin Malone Obituary

(1937-2019) Kevin Michael Malone quietly passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2019. He leaves a legacy of honesty, hard work, generosity, humor and a strong sense of commitment to his church, family and many friends. He was born December 9, 1937 to Rosemary and Vincent Malone. The oldest of five children; he grew up with sisters Rosemary Marquardt, Patricia Malone, Margo DeCastillo and brother Kieran Malone. He graduated from St. John's University, Queens, NY and was moved to Sacramento, California in 1969 by International Harvester as Regional Manager. He then took over the IH ¸retail branch of Farm and Construction Equipment until he started his own business, Malone Equipment, in 1978 and later Cal-Neva Construction. Kevin enjoyed a love of the outdoors, fishing, hiking, boating and cycling with his children and grandchildren. His desire to see all the National Parks will need to wait. Kevin's commitment to his church, the St. Vincent de Paul Food Locker and The Sacramento Life Center were unwavering. Kevin is survived by Judith, his loving wife of 60 years and his five children: Margaret Malone Moyer (Jeff), Colleen Malone LaSpina (Joseph) Kevin Malone Jr., Deirdre Malone Greenholz (Stephen) , Patrick Malone (Mayleen). He adored his seven grandchildren Joseph, Connor, Brenden, Shannon, Michael, Ryan, Hailey and now soon to be grandchild number eight. Kevin lived his life to the fullest and his love of family and dedication to them was impeccable. He had a work ethic like no other. Vigil Service Thursday 7:00PM at Our Lady of the Assumption: Funeral Friday at 1:00PM Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Carmichael, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Sacramento Life Center.

A relationship that started as a neighbor and grew into a friendship was that of Kevin Malone and Cress Williamson. Kevin may have preferred to stand away from a group gathering instead of being in the middle of the crowd but that didn't keep people from gravitating TO HIM. You just wanted to get to know Kevin and he did not disappoint. We will miss Kevin beyond words at the Wyndgate Celebrations and just seeing him at other various social gatherings. We sure liked him. Our deepest condolences to Judy,their children and extended family. A great loss indeed. Our thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow.

My relationship with Kevin started as a customer of his equipment business, evolved into a friendship and into a partnership of 22 years with the establishment of Cal-Neva. Kevin's integrity and work ethic were above reproach and only exceeded by his dedication to his family. I will miss him

I first became acquainted with Kevin many years ago, initially as a customer. That working relationship turned into a friendship and over the years the Malones became family. Kevin was truly a man of his word with the utmost integrity; a man I admired and respected and am honored to have known him. You will be missed Kevin.
