They say memories are golden

Maybe that's true

But we never wanted memories

we only wanted you.

A million times we've needed you

A million tears we've cried

If love alone could have saved you

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly

In death we love you still

In our hearts you hold a special place

Nothing could ever fill.

If tears could build a staircase

And heartache could build a lane

We'd walk the path to heaven

And bring you home again.

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again.

Malcolm Jeran Minnifield was born on January 23, 1993 to Myron

LaRahn Minnifield and Lynn Mari Sheppard in Omaha, Nebraska.

A beautiful, sweet child, Malcolm brightened the lives of his

family with his infectious smile and easy temperament.

Malcolm grew to be a talented, hard-working student

“a pleasure to have in class” and a gifted athlete. With

his quick, irreverent wit he made friends everywhere

he went. Malcolm graduated from Central High in

the spring of 2011.

Malcolm entered the University of Nebraska at

Omaha in the fall of 2011 with a full scholarship

and plans to transfer and pursue a degree and a

career that would make use of his impressive

and growing artistic abilities. In addition to his

studies, Malcolm worked at Jiffy Lube, a job he

enjoyed because he loved people – he also loved

having his own money.

Malcolm’s life was short in terms of years but the impact he made

in the lives of his family and friends is inestimable, he will be

missed.

Love Letters Malcolm,

I love you and you have grown up to be a fine young

man. I’m glad that we shared another chance of

closeness together.

Your Mom,

Lynn Mari

Dear Malcolm,

My, how times fly! Just yesterday you were small enough

to bathe in the kitchen sink. Now you’re nearly an adult.

The time went so fast because you were so easy to mentor

and easy to love. You have made me extremely proud to say,

“I’m Malcolm’s Dad.”

You are no big on words, but are extremely big on character.

I have no words to truly express my sense of pride. My face

just is not big enough to contain my smile.

Myron Minnifield “Malcolm’s Dad”

Beautillion 2010

Dear Malcolm,

I am so proud of you. You are a fine young man

with many great attributes. I could not be any more

proud of you if I had picked you to be my Grandson.

You have the potential to be whatever you want to be.

You are almost a Rocket Scientist. You are not afraid

of hard work and always a gentleman. I have

watched you grow from that beautiful boy into this

handsome young jock. I know that growing up is not

easy but that saying somehow eludes you.

You are always loving and always kind. And unlike

the rest of your family, un-opinionated. Tell me

how did that escape you?

You truly live up to the name Grandson because you

are grand. I truly adore you.

Remember to always acknowledge God in all of your

ways and he will direct your path.

Don’t be afraid to dream and to pursue your dreams.

The only difference in try and triumph is just that

little “umph” at the end.

May God bless your every endeavor.

Beautillion 2010 Love always, Grandlady
