Lost his long battle with mental illness on Monday, February 12.  Age 21 years.  Beloved son of Tom and Mary Jo.  Dear brother of Emily (Sachin).  Cherished grandson of Bergeue Malone and Walter and Emily Tschachler.  Dearly loved by his aunts and uncles, Mary Malone, Colleen Malone & Tim Grennier, Betty and Steve Dorst, Jean and Brian Ciske, Terri and John Meyerring and by his many cousins and friends.

TJ was a 2014 graduate of Wauwatosa East High School and at the time of his death was a student at UW-Madison.  TJ loved baseball, and that love expressed itself in many ways.  TJ played in the North Central Little League and later for the Tosa East Red Raiders.  For the past six years he worked as a vendor at Miller Park.  Ever the contrarian, TJ was a dedicated fan of the Chicago Cubs and enjoyed making an annual pilgrimage to Wrigley Field.  In addition, he and his father were halfway toward completing their quest to visit every Major League Baseball stadium. 

Visitation Saturday, February 24 from 2pm until time of Memorial Service at 4 pm at Schmidt & Bartelt Funeral Home, 10121 W. North Avenue, Wauwatosa.  Food and fellowship to follow.  Please come and celebrate TJ's life with us.  Bring a memory, or a hug, or a dish to pass.  Or just come and silently abide with us as we say good-bye to our sweet boy. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to the North Central Little League www.ncllmilw.com* or the National Alliance for Mental Illness www.nami.org*
