Nathan Mallory Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Nathan Alonza Mallory, a resident of Phillips Ranch, California, passed away to be with the Lord on May 13, 2021. Nathan was born in Baltimore, Maryland on August 17, 1938. He was one of eleven children of the late Herman Clarke Mallory and Bernice Hall Mallory. Nathan attended Henry Harland Garnett School #103, Booker T. Washington Jr. High School #130 and Carver Vocational High School #454. Nathan enlisted in the United States Army and worked in the Supply and Maintenance Services Area. He was discharged in 1957. Upon leaving the Army, Nathan secured a job at the U.S. Treasury Office in Washington, D.C. and worked there until 1969. Afterwards, he relocated to Compton, California where he studied Law Enforcement at Compton College. Later he secured a position with the Los Angeles Federal Court House as a Federal Police Officer for ten years. In 1979, while visiting his family in Baltimore, Nathan met Agatha Blair Spruill of Baltimore. They were married on August 20, 1979 and returned to California to live. Nathan later worked for the Immigration and Naturalization Services as a Detention Officer, an Immigration Inspection Officer at LAX Airport and finally a Deportation Officer for 18 years. Nathan retired in 1997 after working in numerous government positions for over thirty-nine years. In August of this year, Nathan and Agatha would have been married forty-two years. A friendly, kind and jovial person with a big heart, Nathan went out of his way to help others in need. He loved traveling with Agatha to different countries around the world. He loved living in California and really loved the Mexican culture and food. The only thing he missed while living in California was not having his brothers, sisters and family out there to enjoy it with him. He also missed the crabmeat and his mother's, fondly called "Muva", delicious crab cakes. When that wasn't available, you would surely find him making his favorite dish of spaghetti with meat sauce and Italian sausage. He was proud of this dish and some say he would take all day to make it. If that didn't work, well it was off to an "All You Can Eat Mexican Buffett". Nathan loved to venture around the community for long walks; long slow walks. Sometimes he and Agatha would go for walks and when she would look back, Nathan would be strolling along about two blocks or more behind her. He was known to be slow or should we say, never in a hurry. He took his time about everything and it didn't bother him a bit. He also loved places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Family members would meet him and Agatha at these resorts for birthdays and anniversary celebrations. What a wonderful time we all had. Nathan will be missed by his wife of 41 years, Agatha; daughter, Michelle; granddaughter, Mecia; great granddaughters, Mariah and Mackenzie, his sister, Marsha Fenwick (George); remaining brothers, Brian Mallory, and Thurron Mallory(Irvina), his mother-in-law, Mrs. Marie Blair; his brother-in-law, Stanley Conaway and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Nathan, we will miss your jokes, loving heart and care packages filled with key chains, watches, pens, hats and flashlights.
