Dr. Malone started the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Pontiac, MI, where he served as pastor for over fifty years. He also founded the Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, MI.

The Sword of the Lord referred to him as "one of the most sought after pulpiteers in the world. Featured regularly on almost every national platform in independent Baptist circles, and a regular guest in the pulpit of every large fundamental church in America, he was a master craftsman in the preparation of sermons and a prince of preachers at the time of the sermon’s delivery."

He is survived by his wife, Joyce (Harned), to whom he was married for sixty-seven years; one son, Thomas, Jr.; and two daughters, Joy Paige and Debra Rydman.
