Pat Malys, age 68, passed away surrounded by family on Friday, June 3, 2016 after a courageous and hard fought battle against cancer.
Pat was born on March 17, 1948 in Oil City, Pennsylvania, the son of the Slim and Sue Malys. He graduated from Oil City Senior High School in 1966 and went on to attend Iowa State.
On May 9, 1970, Pat married his wife Nancy of 47 years and has resided in Marion for the last 36 years.
Pat finished his career as a supervisor at PPG Industries in Delaware which he worked for 23 years. Since retirement in 2010, Pat enjoyed his time by doing what he did best which was keeping himself busy with countless projects such as painting or fixing anything and everything. Pat never stayed still unless it was to watch The Ohio State Buckeyes, Xavier basketball, or any movie playing on the Hallmark channel. Pat loved the outdoors. He taught us his knowledge and love of camping, fishing, and bird watching.
Pat was a true family man and will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents Slim and Sue Malys and sister Tonya Kightlinger. Pat is survived by his wife Nancy Malys; daughters, Marci (Joe) Burch, Michelle (Billy) Whitaker; five grandchildren, Dawson, Dylan, and Kacee Whitaker and Carson and Campbell Burch; brother Michael Malys (Linda).
His family will receive friends and family Friday, June 10, 2016 from 12-2 at the Gunder/Hall & Snyder Funeral Home, 347 W. Center Street, Marion, Ohio. It will be immediately followed by a graveside service at Marion Cemetery. The family extends an invitation to come celebrate the life of Pat from 3-5 after the service.
