John Obituary (1977 - 2022)

Bennie John Maly "John", beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, grandson, nephew, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 22, 2022. John was a loving caregiver for his precious mother, De'An, before her heavenly departure in December 2012. He had since spent the rest of his life being best friend and daily caregiver for his brother, Brian, helping him get up to face a new day, taking him to and from work, eating out, Sonic hamburgers and drink runs, always sitting with him watching movies or swimming the pool. Always bantering back and forth with wit and laughter. His passing will leave a never-ending void in Brian's life, in all his family's lives! John loved hunting with his father and cherished every moment they spent together at the deer lease. Oh, how he loved watching football: Texas Longhorns, Alabama Tide, Aggies, Dallas Cowboys, and Tom Brady! He loved celebrating and spending time with his family, whom he loved dearly. John loved his daughter, Miranda, more than anything in the world. John enjoyed helping his father coach Little League for many years. In fact, it was while he played Little League that he met his lifelong friend, Shawn Wray. They later played soccer together for several years and shared countless memories as they grew up. John is preceded in death by his beloved Mother, Ella De'An Maly; grandmothers, Maxine Jackson and Patricia Manis. John is survived by his father, Bennie Maly, Jr.; brother, Brian Joe Maly, Daughter, Miranda Lynn Culver and her husband, Preston; grandfather, Howard Jackson; aunt, Lois Jackson; uncle, Darrell Manis; grandfather, Bennie Maly, Sr. and grandchildren, Daniel Rhea and Ella Marie. Our dear John struggled daily with the great loss of his beloved mother's passing, and now they are once again reunited in the glory of our sweet Lord God in Heaven.
