Obituary For Fredrick Michael Malloy

Fredrick Michael Malloy, son of Clarence Peter Clay and the late Annie Howard Malloy, was born on November 16, 1970 in Durham, North Carolina. He departed this earthly life, unexpectedly, on July 11, 2024 at the Brian Center in Yanceyville, North Carolina.

Frederick, also known as Mike and Skibo, was educated in the Durham City Schools. Growing up in Durham, Mike loved sports and played on several baseball and basketball teams. He particularly enjoyed playing baseball under the leadership of the late Coach David Parker. Mike was also an excellent swimmer, and spent hours in the water swimming and playing with his friends and family at the Hillside pool.

Mike loved the outdoors and would often visit family and friends around town, walking from one neighborhood to another.

Due to an unfortunate accident, he was paralyzed from the waist down. Mike persevered and continued his visits, this time traveling by his motorized wheelchair.

After moving to the Brian Center in Yanceyville, North Carolina for special care, Mike suffered another setback and had to have both legs amputated. This setback didn't slow him down either. Mike continued to laugh, joke, and entertain the residents of the Brian Center.

Affectionately known to the residents as Skibo, Mike would run errands for them, going to the store or picking up food at a nearby restaurant. Skibo could really drive that wheelchair and was often seen traveling nearby the Center.

Fredrick was preceded in death by his mother, Annie Howard Malloy, two aunts, Rebecca Malloy and Brenda Malloy, an uncle, Fredrick L Malloy, his paternal grandmother, Marion Vivian Clay, maternal grandfather, Fredrick D Malloy, and his maternal great-grandmother, Annie J McRae.

Left to mourn him are his father and step-mother, Clarence Peter Clay and Lorraine Ford Clay; sister, Tiffany Clay Johnson (Sean); aunts, Angeletta Malloy Bumpass (Carl), Edith Clay Knight (Edward), Judy Clay Rogers, Brenda Ford Harding (Robert), Doris Ford Bullock, and Beverly Allen; uncles John "Jock" Clay (Shirley), and Quinton Clay, grandmother, Annie Lee Malloy, great-aunts, Elizabeth McRae, Helen Clay, great-uncles, LeRoy McRae, Kenneth Clay (Suzanne) and Tyrone Clay (Charlene), and many cousins and friends.

So sorry to hear the passing of my nephew from Louise Malloy, Laurinburg NC

So sorry to hear of the lost of my nephew and sending my condolences to the rest of the family His aunt Louise Malloy, from Laurinburg NC.

Skibo will be missed. My cousin had a loving soul. He was one of the most nicest persons I know. When he would pop up on my Facebook page, I knew then that I would have an invitation to play Thug Life. When would leave work @ the EPA, I would intentionally go by Camillia Gardens and give him a little change, because I knew he would head straight to the store. I love and will miss him always. Cheryl Hunter-McNeil

It's the smile for me!!! You were one of the happiest people I've ever known. You captured the hearts of everyone and you never met a stranger. We all so blessed to have had you in our lives. I'll miss you dearly lil cousin 💕💕

My prayers and condolences. Malloy, as we called him was a wonderful person. He talked junk told jokes cut up and was one of my prized residents when I worked there. He looked out for everyone, staff and other residents. He'd take trips to the store and come back and sit outside chatting with anyone he met. This saddens me and I'm praying for his family and friend. Rest my friend.

Sending my heart felt condolences and prayers to family.

When I got the news i just sat there not knowing how to take it but all I could hear is is voice saying stop it, go laugh today, he was so caring and funny I will miss you and our times we went out to smoke, thanks for all the laughs we had and listening to me you where more then just a resident but also a friend going to miss you

Sorry for your loss

I drove Fred to many of his Doctors appointments. Was always a fun trip laughing and talking to him always made for a good time. Will certainly be missed by all that knew him. 😢

This weighs heavy on my heart. I really enjoyed being his caregiver and getting to know him and taking care of him. He is and was a true friend. He made me laugh numerous times. He will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to the family.

Thanks for the talks we had Fred. You will truly be missed! Condolences to his family

This one is so heartbreaking. Fred was a resident at my place of employment. He came there not long after I started there. We got to know each other well, as I transported him back and forth to Durham many times. He became one of my favorites. We are the same age. My heart breaks for him and his family. I hope you are flying high sweet angel! I will never forget our talks and long drives and the past 6 and half years! Praying for your Dad! 🙏🏻❤️

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
