David Bernard “Dave” Malone, passed away on Sunday, November 5, 2017 at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Born in Jefferson County, Alabama on December 25, 1934, he was the son of JB Malone and Annie Mae Francis.
Mr. Malone graduated from college at the University of Miami and served in the U.S. Navy. He continued serving in the Navy Reserve while employed as a pilot with United Airlines. He retired from United in 1987 and spent some time working at the Udvar Hazi Museum as a docent.
David enjoyed traveling, cooking, the Redskins, playing poker with friends and many memorable vacations in the Outer Banks. He was a devoted husband, son, father, brother, grandfather and friend.
He survived by his wife, Elizabeth Malone and children: Kevin Malone, Michael Malone (Jennifer) and Kathy Saylors (Jeff), three grandchildren: Savanna Malone, Jack Malone and Axl Saylors and sister Martha Ann Francis Bradley. On behalf of all his family, we would like to express our deepest appreciation to all who shared in his life and in his care. A private family prayer will be held at a later date in Manassas, Virginia and entombment will take place at Arlington National Cemetery.

We are very sorry for your loss, our sincere sympathy to the Malone family
Dayle and I will not be able to attend Dave’s prayer service but we are committed to offer a prayer for him in concert with his family at 1100 EDT on the 23rd wherever we may be. He was a good pilot, a good poker player and a good friend.
I will dearly miss my old college friend. I would love to have met his whole family, but they did not share my wish. RIP my friend, perhaps we will meet in the hereafter.
My sincere sympathy to Betty, Kathy, Jeff, Axel, Kevin, Michael, Jennifer, Savannah, and Jack. Dave was so proud of his grand-kids!
