Malcolm was a hard worker who worked at the Virginia Elastic Plant  and Warsaw Supermarket in his younger years.  He worked as landscaper at the Architect of the Capitol for several years.  He retired from the federal government after 32 years service as an electrician. He received electrical apprenticeship certification in June 2022. He was self employed landscaper throughout Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

Malcolm lived his life to serve. He had a way of making every person he met feel like they were his best friend.  He loved helping people, landscaping, photography, working on vehicles and his favorite NFL football team was the Dallas Cowboys. He liked nice things but he was a simple guy.
