Malachi Cyrus Lancaster, 18, passed away on Sunday, December 8, 2024, due to a hunting accident. Born on September 14, 2006, in Gainesville, Florida, Malachi grew up in a multicultural household as the son of an American father, Joel, and a Zimbabwean mother, Sophie.
A senior at Newberry High School, Malachi was a well-rounded and accomplished student, nominated as homecoming king› an A/B Honor Roll student, and a football player.
Malachi's adventurous spirit led him to embrace life fully, enjoying activities like dirt bike riding, mud bogging, fishing, truck meets, football, and global travel. His entrepreneurial drive started early, as he pursued ventures such as lawn care, car detailing, cell phone repairs, speaker installer, snack man, and more. His work ethic, faith/confidence, and dedication made him stand out amongst his peers.
Malachi was survived by: his loving parents, Joel and Sophie Lancaster; older brother, Munashe; and sister, Natalie. He was also deeply cherished by his grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, church community, teachers, and neighbors, both near and far.

We remember Malachi as being a very respectful and humble young man. He loved the Lord and was actively involved with the youth ministry when our son Michael met him. We are thankful to have met such a remarkable man that has left a beautiful legacy. Prayerfully others will come to Christ and be leaders as Malachi was. Our prayers are with you Pastor's Joel and Sophie. We love you all and be blessed! 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 KJV
[6] Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (for we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
