Ty J. Malek, aged 57, died peacefully surrounded by family on August 20, 2025, at his home in Highwood, Montana, following a courageous battle with glioblastoma.

Highwood was Tys lifelong home and where he attended high school. He excelled at sports, but football was his greatest passion. Ty was inducted into the Highwood Hall of Fame for his athletic achievements and was recruited by Montana State University. Ultimately, he pursued his collegiate career at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where he obtained a criminal justice degree while playing linebacker for the Cobbers. It is here that he met his first wife, Alecia Anderson. Together, they had two children, Darren and Adrian, whom Ty was immensely proud to call his own.
