James E. Malone, age 58, passed away on September 6, 2015. He resided in Windsor, Missouri. He was born in Lawrence, Kansas to parents Bud and Betty Malone, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his two children, Jody (Meredith) Malone, Paola, Kansas and Janelle Malone, Shawnee, Kansas and 4 grandchildren, Kennedi, Harrison (Buddy), Jackson and Kaiya. Jim is also survived by three sisters, Diane (Russell) Millam, Windsor, Missouri, Peggy (Tom) Scherman and Patricia (Don) Sullivan, Paola, Kansas and one brother John (Elaina) Malone, Osawatomie, Kansas and many nephews and nieces.

Jim was a carpenter all of his working life. There were 3 generations of our family of carpenters from Carpenter’s Union Local 714 with his father and grandfather all working at the same time.

My brother’s life was as if two lives lived within one life-time. He was a boy and young man with much kindness and good intentions. He loved his family very much and was saddened by his inability to adequately express his love and his sorrow that he was conquered by his demons and his inability to change. His demons, bi-polar disease and alcoholism created a combination that he could not overcome but it was not the whole of his life. Jim was a shy man by nature and had many thoughts but rarely expressed them due to his shyness.

Jim was kind to others and would help anyone when asked without any expectations that his help ever be returned in any fashion. He read books all of his life on many subjects. He loved his pets each and every one of them. He created the wooden urn for our father’s ashes but was saddened because he was unable to create mother’s urn because of his back with the multiple surgeries. He regretted this very much but was grateful that Russell made it in his place so someone in the family had put it together with love for her.

He was creative with wood and the symbol he used on wood projects was a pair of wings. He never explained to me why he used it but I believe it spoke to him of freedom from the life he didn’t want to lead but was unable to leave and of the promise that at the end he could fly away from this troubled world to a better place. He was our brother and I loved him and he loved me.
