Garrick Mallery passed away on Dec. 4 at the age of 89. He was a lifelong Hamilton County resident whose impact on the community spans generations.

Mallery, who began selling real estate while in college in 1948, held the oldest active real estate license in Indiana. He is remembered for his rich and varied service to the Noblesville community, much of which is noted in his obituary on Page 5 in the Wednesday, Dec. 6 edition of the Hamilton County Reporter.

In the 1960s, Garrick organized the Hamilton County Health Department, where he currently served as Chairman. In 1962, Garrick played Santa in the inaugural Noblesville Christmas Parade, continuing for several years afterward. He reprised the role for the 50th anniversary of the parade, and then served as Grand Marshal in 2015.

A statement about his passing from the City of Noblesville reads as follows:

“It is a sad day for our community with the passing of Garrick Mallery. He has been a leader in our city for decades and through his tireless work, it’s hard to throw a stone across Noblesville without having it hit somewhere that Garrick had an impact on. He put his stamp on Noblesville and Hamilton County by appraising, developing, buying and selling real estate, including Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center and First United Methodist Church. With all of his accomplishments, Garrick said his legacy was giving family land dating back to 1984 to Noblesville Schools for White River Elementary. He loved Noblesville and was a pillar in the community. He will be missed.”
