He continued boxing after joining the Marines.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the Amedisys Hospice staff for the love and care they provided to Mr. Malcom over the last two months. Also, the incredible care from Yellow Butterfly Home Care. The kindness and care each of them gave to Mr. Malcom was so appreciated.
