Steve Malek 1960-2024

Co Founder 

Gateway To Glory Ministries

In Memory: Steven Preston Brown-Malek, 64, passed away on October 13, 2024 in Troy MI.  Born on June 17, 1960, Steve was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.  His relationship with Christ profoundly influenced his love and dedication to his wife, children, grandchildren, church and community.  If you knew Steve, you loved him.

Steve graduated from Cousino High School in 1978 and completed his trade school education becoming a Journeyman Carpenter.  He worked as a Union Master Carpenter for many years.  In 1999, he joined Bethesda Christian Church as their in-house carpenter and later founded Gateway To Glory Ministries with his wife.  After serving at Bethesda, he was called to serve full-time in ministry and became Chaplain of the Macomb County Jail.  As Chaplain, he found a plentiful mission field where he labored until the week prior to his death, adding many to the Kingdom of God.  He was, indeed, “fruitful in the land of his affliction”. (Gen 41:52).  Steve’s relationship with Jesus Christ was central to his life, and he dedicated his life to evangelizing and helping others strengthen their faith.

He was most joyful while spending time with his family.  Evangelizing, cooking, hunting, skydiving, skiing (both on water and snow) and worshiping the Lord were some things he enjoyed doing most.

Steve is survived by his wife, Robin Malek; daughters, Brittanie Malek-Troy, Chelsea Bennett, and Jessica Wojt; sons-in-law, Nick Heinzelmann and Brandon Wojt; and grandchildren, Hailee, Hollie, Isaac and Ezekiel.  He was preceded in death by his father, Edsel Brown; mother, Helen Malek; and adoptive father, Edward Malek.

Upcoming Events

Gateway to Glory Ministries Annual Fundraising Banquet - Join us for an evening of celebration and inspiring testimonies at the beautiful Sycamore Hills Golf Club (48787 North Avenue, Macomb, MI 48042) on Thursday, September 25th at 6pm! Our keynote speakers will be: Salvatore (Sam) and Noelle Borgia founders of Shattered Mirrors Ministries.

“After a twenty-year battle, Sam was miraculously delivered from addiction in a single day. We have spent the last seven years rebuilding our lives on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, and we want to spread the message far and wide: ‘What He can do for us, He can do for you!’ The Lord has placed this mission on Sam and Noelle’s hearts, and during her two years at Ministry School, the Holy Spirit further prompted her to write the book Silence the Lion, Wage War on Addiction and Win. The book is the true testimony of what the Lord has done in Sam’s life and a reflection guide to allow those struggling with substance abuse to see the same freedom from addiction and realize their true identity in Christ. We want to shake up the consensus that addicts have to live a lifetime in recovery. Healing, deliverance and freedom from addiction can happen in an instant when the Lord steps in and meets you in a miraculous way, and we’ve seen it first-hand.” (website excerpt)
