Henry Earl Malone, Jr.

Hank Malone, age 85 of Broken Arrow, and formerly of Noble, passed away Sunday, July 31, 2022. Henry Earl Malone Jr was born August 30, 1936 in Okla. City, OK, 1 of 3 children born to Henry Sr and Edna Marie (McCleary) Malone. He was raised in Okla. City, and attended school there, graduating from Central High School with the Cardinals Class of 1954. Hank attended the University of Oklahoma and Southeastern Oklahoma A&M, before pursuing his love of driving race cars. He started in Drag Racing and later the dirt track. By chance, he met a young lady named Ann Elizabeth Hawk. They were introduced by family and friends, and the rest as they say, is history. Hank and Ann were married on April 2, 1960 in Okla. City. They first made their home in Okla. City, and later Moore, and they eventually settled in Noble. Together they raised 2 daughters, Janna and Nancy. Hank joined his father in the family business, Midwest Machine & Compressor Co in Okla. City, and proudly continued in the day-to-day operation until 2017, when his health would no longer allow. Hank was a big supporter of his girls, always supporting them in FFA and 4 H Club. He remained active in his community, planned his high school reunions, served as a member and officer of the Sertoma Club, and served on the Cleveland County Fair Board for many years, including a term as president. He was a man of great faith, served as Deacon for Antioch Christian Church in Moore, and later attended Maguire Baptist Church in Noble. When he wasn't working, Hank was probably fishing or hunting, and he would tell you that he was a "hunter from Canada to Mexico". He loved OU Football, fast cars, and could tell a good story. He was a wonderful father and grandfather who will be dearly missed! He was preceded in death by: his wife, Anna Elizabeth Malone; his parents, Henry Sr and Edna Marie Malone and his sisters, Betty Hampton and Beverly Benham. Hank is survived by: his daughters, Janna Slaymaker and husband Nick of Noble and Nancy Davis and husband Scott of Afton, OK; two granddaughters, Katelynn Elizabeth Slaymaker and Hanna Marie Slaymaker, and a host of other family and friends.
