Malcolm Wilcox passed away on September 11, 2021 at the age of 62 years in Calgary at the Foothills Hospital after a brave battle with cancer.
He was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario to Allie and Keith Wilcox on December 27th. Malcolm lived in a number of cities in Ontario, British Columbia and finally settled in Calgary in 1981. Malcolm had a number of interest including gardening, travelling, walking, camping- especially sitting around the camp fire but his favorite pass time was riding his bicycles on the trails around Calgary, K-Country and Jasper. Malcolm graduated from the University of Calgary with a BA in 1989 and worked for many years in the Records Department at Esso.
Malcom is survived by his brother, Bill of Peterborough Ontario. He was pre-deceased by his sister, Marie Wilcox.
A big thank you to the incredible people at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and to the special people in Ward 57 Special Services who helped with his cancer treatments and then took amazing care of him during his final days.
As per Malcom’s wishes, there will be no funeral service held.

We will remember many warms moments when we worked together, you are always the first person to open the door in Record Center whether how tough the weather in Calgary, but you are the last person left the office sometimes *_*. You always helped us on time, guided us in detail, and reminded and took care of us, but forgot taking care of yourself. Within the past a couple years, I am impressed with your passions, the contributions, inspiration, the solid knowledge, the professional services for the clients, and the quality works you made (We always believe Malcolm never make mistakes *_*), the atmosphere you bring to help each other in our small team. We are too shocked this time it is too soon you finally take rest, May God bring you peace, comfort, no illness and rest in heaven.

I worked with Malcolm for many years; His dedication and knowledge of his Records Management position was impeccable, thus a great deal of information goes with him.
Rest In Peace dear Malcolm, you have fought a long and hard battle, you have earned peaceful eternal rest.

Our heartfelt condolence to Bill and Malcolm’s family. For me Malcolm will always be the quintessential records management professional. While he was a private person he was very open to sharing his vast knowledge and experience to anyone who needed it.
“Your time with us was a blessing, your memory is a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.”
Thanks for everything Malcolm.

Malcolm’s living touched so many, including those who shared his faith journey for a time. He was wise, kind, and curious. Likewise, his passing touches many. Rest easy now, dear friend.
Bette McCracken says
I was an “on-line” friend of Malcolm’s for many years. We met on the United Church Wondercafe website, and always stayed in touch. We met IRL for a coffee and a service at Hillhurst three years ago when I was on a cross-Canada trip.
Malcolm had a gentle, self-deprecating humour that was very refreshing. It’s evident from other comments here that his genuine personality was evidenced in all of his relationships. He will be greatly missed in all of his communities. Safe journeys, dear friend.
