Jim was born on March 27, 1930, to Charlie and May Malone of Caruthersville, MO. He served his
country in the United States Navy during the Korean War. After giving his life to Christ as a young adult,
he served his Lord by preaching the gospel and pastoring churches, including Fellowship Baptist Church

his pastorates.
Jim married Nelda Ann O'Keane on January 26, 1955. They were married for 53 years. Jim and Nelda
had two children, Daniel Thomas and Sandra Ann. Jim was the full-time caretaker of Nelda when she
