Darvin "Eddie" Malone, 69yrs, of McArthur, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on Monday, December 15th, 2025, after losing his battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully at his residence with his family and friends by his side.

Eddie has 18 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren and lots of nieces and nephews that he loved.

Eddie loved it whenever his family was able to get together and have a good time no matter what it was, he just really enjoyed every minute that he was able to spend with all the ones that he loved and cherished and was held closest to his heart.

Eddie loved getting together playing cards with the buddies, he loved anything and everything that had to do with all the guys getting together, bonfires, riding his motorcycle, fixing vehicles with Jeff, Eddie would call that "I get to spend time with my buddy Jeff kinda Projects". He enjoyed going to the Eagles and the VFW to hang out with all his Buddy's and really enjoyed playing the machines.

Eddie also really loved the lord, he gave his heart to the Lord not too long ago, Eddie would always tell me since at the time we didn't have a church to go to due to his health, he would say "we don't have to go to church to have church" then we would smile.

I'd give the whole world, just to hold you again.

The day cancer took you, was the day my world caved in.

Even though you are gone, I know that you are free.

And someday, I will find you waiting for me.

Until we meet again... I know that you'll be waiting by the tree,

Up above in Heaven just for me!!

Juanita will update the other family and friends with date, time and place for "Celebration of Life" honoring Eddie. I know for sure that it will be after Christmas and New Year's for all his friends in McArthur.

Arrangements are with the Garrett Cardaras Funeral Home, 201 W. High St, McArthur. Please sign his online guestbook at www.cardaras.com
