      Andrew J. “Andy” Mallory

      June 5, 2026

      Andrew J. “Andy” Mallory, 47, of Manteo, NC passed away peacefully at his family residence on June 5, 2026. Andy lived a life defined by breaking records and exceeding expectations in his many journeys in life. He was an optimist, compassionate, and devoted to building a better world around him. Even in his battle against cancer, he lived a grateful and giving life.

      ​Andy was a man that aspired to surpass all standards. A proud US Marine, he attained the rank of Sergeant in just four short years, surpassing the normal progression path. After being diagnosed with a bleak and grim disease, he proceeded to exceed life expectancy by nearly six years, a true testament to his grit and determination. No matter the journey in life, Andy always took the opportunity to see the “glass half full,” always looking forward to the future and its many promising prospects.

      ​He truly loved his family and considered them the cornerstone to his daily purpose; as a committed and steadfast father, he found comfort and joy in the presence of his sons, Andrew and Barrett. Andy took every opportunity to watch his children grow and prosper and was always the biggest supporter of their hopes and dreams. He also found a sacred camaraderie with his beloved brother Eddy, as the two were inseparable from childhood.

      ​Andy will be remembered as a man who contributed his all to his family, friends, and many pursuits in life. He was a pivotal patient in spearheading the fight against Glioblastoma and has cemented a legacy that goes far beyond his own life. He will be cited in medical literature and will be remembered for generations to come as the man who beat all odds, no matter how dire the circumstances.

      ​He is survived by his sons, Andrew Mallory Jr. (Yessenia Castillo) of Durham, NC, and Barrett Mallory of Manns Harbor, NC. He is also survived by his granddaughter, Violet Mallory also of Durham; his mother, Barbara Morgan of Manteo; brother, Edgar “Eddy” Mallory (Michelle Hooker), six nieces and nephews; and wife, Candice Mallory.

      ​Andy’s funeral service will be held at 3:30pm, Tuesday, June 9, 2026 at Roanoke Island Presbyterian Church. Friends and family may view from 6 to 8 pm, Monday, June 8, 2026 at Gallop Funeral Chapel in Nags Head. The graveside urn committal will be held at 11 am, Friday, June 12, 2026 at Roanoke Island Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Interfaith Community Outreach in Kill Devil Hills or to Dare County EMS. Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was entrusted with arrangements.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
