Stephen T. Molloy

Stephen Thomas Molloy, 77, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, passed away on January 10, 2026, after a battle with Parkinson’s.

He was born in Grand Rapids to Betty and Edwin Molloy. After graduating from East Grand Rapids High School, he attended Grand Rapids Junior College. While attending JC, he was the lead singer in a band with several friends. He left college to join the Army and did his tour in Vietnam. After serving his country, he attended and graduated from Michigan State University.

Surviving him are his devoted wife Alice, children Stephen Molloy (Ciarelle), Daniel Molloy, and Colleen Rdes (Bart), sister Mary Kevin Molloy, brother James Molloy, stepsons Matthew Hallihan and Rick Hallihan (Tammy), and 11 grandchildren, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Peggy and Darrell Eggleston, and special friends Jan and Jim Chesla. Steve was preceded in death by his parents, brother David and brother-in-law Terry.

Steve enjoyed watching football and golf on TV and traveling with Alice to cities along the East Coast. They spent their 25th wedding anniversary gazing at Lake Superior, but Lake Michigan was always his favorite.

Steve will always be remembered for his dry sense of humor, contagious laughter, and love for his family, friends, and his dogs.

The memorial service will be held at 2pm on Monday January 19th at the Metcalf & Jonkhoff Funeral Home with visitation one hour prior to the service.  Memorials may be made to the Humane Society of West Michigan.
