Shannon Don Malloy, 53, of Mount Pleasant, AR, died on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Shannon was born on June 9, 1970, in Batesville, to Larry Malloy and the late Darlene (Moser) Malloy. He was of the Christian faith. Shannon loved to hunt, fish, and be outdoors. He also enjoyed tinkering around with car engines and staying busy working around the house. There wasn’t much that Shannon couldn’t fix. Shannon was a truck driver by trade and drove for PECO for the past 7 years. The thing that Shannon loved more than anything was spending time with his family, especially his two sons, Adam and Sam. He taught them what it means to be “a man of your word”. Shannon was known to be an honest man, who followed through on his promises and stood by his word. He will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know and love him.
