    • Former Lt. Gov, Juneau mayor Byron Mallott dies at 77

    Former Lt. Gov. Byron Mallot passed away at the age of 77, according to friends and peers.

    Mallot ended his political career as Lt. Governor and, during his life, he served as mayor of both Juneau and Yakutat, head of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation and President of the Alaska Federation of Natives among other prominent positions.

    Mallot, who was Tlingit, was born in Yakutat in and became mayor of the town at age He and his wife Toni had five children together and spent their life in West Juneau. He was elected mayor of Juneau in but only served three months in that position before leaving to work full-time for APFC.

    When Mallott resigned as Juneau’s mayor he was replaced by then-Deputy Mayor Dennis Egan. In a phone interview Friday Egan said he was shocked to hear of Mallott’s passing.

    “Byron and I got back a long way,” Egan said. “We did a lot of things out of politics together.”

    Egan said he used to live near each other in Juneau and they would wave as the other passed. He first remembered Mallott from during his father William Egan’s time as governor.

    “He did things in my dad’s administration,” Egan said. “We just got along. Our families got along. I feel really sorry for his wife and family, it was so sudden.”

    In , Mallott ran for governor as the Democratic candidate before merging his campaign with independent candidate Bill Walker. The pair won that election with Walker serving as governor, forming what they called the “Alaska First Unity Ticket.” Mallott was forced to resign shortly before the election after making what were characterized as “inappropriate comments” to an unnamed woman.

    In a Facebook post, Walker said he had lost a dear friend, and that his thoughts were with the Mallott family, who had grown close to his own over the years.
