Matthew Gregory Malone, born March 20, 1957, died March 25, 2023, of MultiSystems Atrophy Cerebellar type, a rare neurodegenerative disease for which there is no treatment or cure.

Matt graduated from High Halstead School in 1975, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kansas in 1979, and a Master of Business Administration from Wichita State University in 1983. He worked for Farmland Industries, and PMS Foods in Hutchinson Kansas for 17 years. He then changed career fields and became a Microsoft Certified Engineer, and Cisco Network Engineer and taught Computer Networking at Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson Kansas for another 17 years until his illness forced him into retirement.

Matt was preceded in death by his parents Eugene M Malone MD, and Mercedes B Malone of Halstead Kansas, and is survived by his sister Eileen O'Neal of Monroe, Washington, David Malone MD of Tulsa Oklahoma, John Daniel Malone of Hopkinton Massachusetts as well as his niece and multiple nephews.

Matt offered no bitterness toward his fate when faced with this incurable, lethal, and unrelentingly progressive disease. He was exceedingly grateful to those who visited and assisted him with those things he could no longer do for himself. Matt displayed exemplary courage during his long illness and died with honor and dignity.

Matt was dedicated to education and most proud of his affiliation with Hutchison Community College. A Donation honoring Matt's commitment to HCC can be submitted at https://www.hutchcc.edu/giving .
