Frederic M. Malone, age 57, of Virginia, MN, and formerly of Arvada, CO, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2022, at the Solvay Hospice House in Duluth, MN. He was born to Mark and Jacqueline Malone on April 26, 1965 in Wheat Ridge, CO.
Fred had a loving and compassionate soul and was the first to offer help when needed.
Fred loved his time at Lake Vermilion. Fred was a musician and played drums in a band. He collected music from many genres from classical to jazz to heavy metal. Fred was an avid reader and had an innate understanding of how things worked. He enjoyed fixing, repairing or building and was a collector of all kinds of things. He had a great sense of humor and knew what joke to crack to get the room laughing. He enjoyed volunteering particularly at The Salvation Army where they valued his hard work, helping to serve people, move goods, and helped wherever he could.
​Fred is survived by his father: Mark Malone (Sandy Morris); and sisters: Gretchen Malone-Martin (Michael Martin), Julia Malone Fajardo (Julio Fajardo), and Laura Malone (Ed Pallis); and his niece: Molly Malone. Preceded in death by mother: Jacqueline Reed Malone
