Michael C. Mallon

Michael was born July 9th, 1986, in Mount Kisco, NY. Michael is survived by his fiancé and best friend, Aneta Witoslaw (Danbury, CT), precious son Francis Michael, step-son Alan Wilenski, his loving parents Michael and Deborah Mallon, sister Brittany (Ryan) Doughan of Trumbull, CT, brothers; Christopher (Michelle) Mallon of San Diego, CA, and Ryan (Lauren Smith) Mallon of Saratoga Springs, NY, nephew Rory Doughan, Grandmother Pauline Mallon, massive extended family of his beloved Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and his loving circle of Friends. Mike is predeceased by his grandparents James and Gloria Grimes (Somers, NY) and Francis Mallon (Stratford, CT).

Michael was a proud graduate of New Fairfield HS (2005) and Norwich University (class of 2009) and served in the US Army, currently as a Captain, Active Reservist. Mike and his military unit provided protective service to the US Army Medical teams in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010.

Mike’s distinction in life was his unconditional love of his beautiful partner Aneta and his boys. The greatest joy of Mike’s life was his precious Francis. It was love at first sight. They were inseparable. His heart overflowed with love and happiness with every moment spent together. In only three short years, the bond was formed, never to be broken. There aren’t enough words to describe their loving bond as a family.

Mike was employed by MSA Security, canine bomb detection unit in NYC. During his 10+ year employment, Mike covered many major NYC posts including the United Nations, 26 Federal Plaza and most recently the Staten Island Ferry with his faithful EOD canine always at his side. Highlights included protective coverage during the UN General Assembly and safe passage of 30,000+ NYC Marathon runners aboard the SI Ferry to the start of the Marathon each year. It was a dream job, as he loved each and every canine assignment, most especially with his service dog, Magar, his partner and buddy.

Michael actively participated in many sports, Soccer, Youth Football, Lacrosse and Rugby. While not mastering any of them, he was “the guy” you wanted on your team. A loyal teammate and the best morale booster ever.

Mike was a volunteer man, always willing to help. If only to lend a hand or in a crisis situation. He would do anything for anyone, at anytime, anywhere. Whether in a home, community, church or his country, Mike served God, family, friends and country with honor and pride.

Mike was one of a kind. He touched the life of everyone he met and always left a lasting impression. His eyes sparkled. His smile would light up a room. His laughter was contagious. His heart was enormous, caring, compassionate, kind, generous and sensitive. If love could have saved him, Mike would have lived forever! “Love Is Eternal”.
