TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF THE REVEREND CHARLES W. MALLOY OF BENNETTSVILLE AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of the Reverend Charles W. Malloy of Bennettsville on April 7, 2014, at the age of nearly seventy-one; and

Whereas, born on May 7, 1943, Charles W. Malloy was the son of James Arthur and Marie Cook Malloy of Clio. At an early age, the young Charles accepted Christ and became a member of New Zion AME Zion Church in Clio; and

Whereas, he joined the United States Air Force and served for twenty-one and a half years, retiring in 1983 as a senior master sergeant. While in the Air Force, Charles earned an associate recreation management degree from the Community College of the Air Force, as well as many recognitions, such as the Meritorious Service Medal; and

Whereas, realizing the importance of education, Charles earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Livingstone College, graduating cum laude. He also studied theology in postgraduate work at Hood Theological Seminary. Desiring to serve his home county, Charles began work with the Marlboro County Department of Social Services, working directly with youth through various programs, including the Healthy Start Teen Life Center; and

Whereas, in 2002, Charles assisted in founding the Community Development Corporation of Marlboro County and agreed to serve as executive director. In that post, Charles was able to develop partnerships that brought different ethnic groups together and fostered greater collaboration between governmental and community agencies, foundations, the financial industry, national foundations, and state and federal governments for the betterment of Marlboro County; and

Whereas, in 1989, Charles was called into the ministry and faithfully pastored Piney Grove AME Zion Church of Pageland, Millers Chapel AME Zion Church of Little Rock, Dyers Hill AME Zion Church of Bennettsville, Robinson AME Zion Church of Cheraw, and St. James AME Zion Church of Chesterfield, where he was serving at the time of his passing; and

Whereas, Pastor Malloy believed strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions led him to serve that community, as well as the broader community of South Carolina, in several capacities. Past affiliations include Marlboro Electric Cooperative, Man 2 Man Fatherhood Initiative, Bennettsville Downtown Development Association, South Carolina Association of Community Development Corporations Board of Directors, South Carolina Fair Housing Center, NAACP, and American Legion Post #13; and

Whereas, noted as a humble, courageous man of Christian character, one of whom it truly could be said, "Well done, good and faithful servant," Pastor Malloy always demonstrated to others how to be "steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord"; and

Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of forty years, Betty Pearson Malloy; daughter Carla Jefferson; son Quincy Malloy; two grandsons, Jamari James and Quincy Emmanuel; a granddaughter, Camryn Malloy; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of the Reverend Charles W. Malloy of Bennettsville and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
