Kevin O'Malley, a former Los Angeles Dodgers executive and part owner of the San Diego Padres, died Tuesday at age 50. The Associated Press reported that O'Malley fell ill during a business trip to New York last fall. He returned to Los Angeles for further care, but his health gradually declined.
O'Malley's grandfather, Walter O'Malley, owned the Dodgers from 1944 to 1979 and was later inducted into the Hall of Fame. His father, Peter O'Malley, served as Dodgers president from 1970 through 1998. O'Malley worked for the Dodgers organization in the late 1990s. He later operated minor league teams in California and became a part owner of the Padres in 2012.
The Dodgers issued a public statement after his death.
“The Dodgers send their sincere condolences to the family of Kevin O'Malley, who passed away Tuesday at age 50. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his wife Allison, his children Grace, Brendan, Brooke and Margaret, his father Peter and all of his loved ones.”
O'Malley's ownership stake in the Padres was held alongside members of his family and members of the Seidler family.
