MALCOLM LEAVES
Born August 19, 1986, died unexpectedly on September 10, 2006. Malcolm was a 2004 graduate of North Hills High School, where he lettered in swimming for three years. He was a full time student at CCAC and planned to attend Penn State University. He loved music, snowboarding, the Internet (1203am), the woods, drawing, fishing, his cats and dogs, and most of all his family and his friends who all loved him and miss him terribly. He is survived by his mother and father Anne and Jim; his sisters Ainslee and Gillian; his grandparents Don and Skip Becker of Iola, KS and Jim and Monique Withey of Houston, TX; his aunts and uncles Dr. and Mrs. (Gabriella) Dean E. Burget of Haverford, PA, Dr. Gary C. Burget of Chicago, Alison Withey of San Diego, and Sheila Withey of Topeka; his cousins Mark, Kevin, Hilary, Undine, Alyssa, and Sarah, and many wonderful friends who have shared joy and good times with him. A memorial service will be held at Christ Episcopal Church Saturday, October 7, 2006 at 10 a.m. (corner of Babcock and Browns Lane, right next to Northway Mall). Anne and Jim welcome all who wish to say good-bye to Malcolm to please come to the service and to visit us at home afterward. Contributions may be made to Animal Friends.

I knew Malcolm for what seems an eternity. I remember always getting in trouble in Mrs. Wheelers class in the 3rd grade because Malcolm would make me laugh so hard. He was one in a Million. Always had the ability to make someone laugh,smile,or just make their day better. Malcolm is an amazing person that will never be forgotten. I'll miss you

Withey family,
I am so saddened by your loss. Though it has been quite a few years since my babysitting time, I remember Malcolm and the girls as such great kids. I can only imagine they have turned into amazing adults with your guidance. You are both such caring people and I am so sorry for your loss. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love, Christine

Malcolm's family...
I only know Jim and his mother Skip but I want you all to know how very sorry I am to hear about Malcolm. Jim, you only met me a couple of times in Ponca City but I feel like I know you through your mother. I send you all my deepest sympathy at this terribly painful part of your journey through life.

Leaves
Sleep now young man, rest, dream
Lay down in the cool Leaves and
Let the pain and confusion of youth fade away
Into nothingness
Come back to us in the next incarnation
Start anew, fresh beginning
Take with you the joy and wisdom of this past life
All will be forgiven
Be reborn
Live again
Run, jump, splash, repeat
Our future children will be your best friends

Never in my life have i met a kid that could change my mood from bad to good so easily like Malcolm could. What hurts the most is knowing i will never meet another person as genuine as he was/is. I know this sounds repetetive but i also know i speak for everyone when i say hes going to be missed, and he will never be forgotten.
1203am forever

Jim,Anne,Ainslee and Gillian - I am so saddened by your loss. Although I didn't know your son as well as Ainslee and Gillian, I know Anne & Jim what devoted parents you are and Ainslee and Gillian what devoted siblings you are. I remember the first time I met Ainslee and Jim, I spelled her name wrong, but Jim you gave me another chance. Knowing both of you are such caring parents for your children showed through in your actions and involvement. Again, I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you all.

The first time i met Malcolm, I could barely breathe from laughing. I wasn't very close to him, but I still hung out with him here and there. I can say that I looked up to him. He will always be remembered.

To The Withey Family,
Words can't express the love that so many people had for your Malcolm. He made so many people laugh and completely made them smile, no matter what got them down. Malcolm was one of the most positive individuals I've had the privilege of meeting, and I'm glad that the memories forever shall remain... Not only in my heart, but in the hearts of his friends and family.
May God ease your pain in this time, and know that you have the support and care of all of his friends. Bless you all.

Malcolm is a great friend of 3 years and I will miss him so much. The thing I love about him most was he could always make everyone smile in the worst situations. He is the funniest kid I've ever met. All the times I've hung out with him I couldn't help but to laugh and I kno he had this effect on all of his friends. He was such a postive and kind person and he will be missed by everyone. My sympathy goes out to all his friends and family. We all love and miss you so much Malcolm. You will never be forgotten because you will be with us always. God bless; rest easy 1203am<3

The first time I met Malcolm, he was smiling and laughing. Every day from then on, he never had anything but a smile on his face. He was such a wonderful, friendly, and most of all, caring person. I miss him terribly and I think about him all the time. My heart goes out to you, the Withey family. I'm always here for you if you ever need anything. May God give you strength.

Malcolm and I weren't as close as half the people that were dramatized by the situation, but when I hungout with Malcolm he brought this joy to everyone and kept them smiling when they weer having the worst day. We had good and bad times, fights and laughter, but we got through it. People will remember him forever and be able to say all the memories. I was blessed to have met Malcolm and I give my prayers to his family and friends. Rest easy 1203.

To The Withey Family,
Malcolm was the most energetic, outgoing, hilarious, and fun person I have ever had the chance to get to know. There has never been a time I have spent with Malcolm when he didn't make me laugh, and he always had the gift of being able to bring light to a bad situation to cheer everyone up around him. Malcolm was the one person that everyone knew as the life of the party and the center of attention in a crowd. Whether or not they had the oppurtunity to spend time with him, Malcolm will be missed by everyone. I love Malcolm and will never forget him. You are all in my prayers. I know Malcolm is in a better place now, watching over all of us. <3 1203AM

Malcolm, you were such an amazing person with the most beautiful mind and the best outlook on life. I'll always remember our long summer morning conversations. Your laughter was infectious, and your legacy will always live on. You'll always be everyones favorite memory. You'll always be 12:03am. I love you, Malcolm.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
