Malcolm Innerarity Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Faries Funeral Directors and Crematorium, Inc. on Mar. 26, 2026.
Malcolm R Innerarity born on December 31st, 1937 in Brooklyn, New York passed away peacefully on March 24th, 2026 in the comfort of his home in Clayton, Delaware.

A loving husband, Malcolm leaves behind his beloved wife, Debra Innerarity, a pillar of support and partnership through a lifetime of memories. Though predeceased by his son Michael, his legacy is carried on through his children Matthew, Kim Renaud, Christopher, David, Andrew, Bryan, and Emaline, and grandchildren Anthony, Jack, Maddy, and Katie all of whom have been touched by his wisdom, humor, and unconditional love.

A proud NYPD officer, Malcolm dedicated his life to the safety and well-being of the people of New York. His bravery and integrity were surpassed only by the warmth he carried within. This commitment to serving others was evident even before his time with the police force, as he honorably served our nation in the United States Air Force. His valor and patriotism remained at the core of his character throughout his life.

Colleagues, friends, and family alike would recount tales that showcased Malcolm's unique wit and sense of humor, which never failed to brighten the days of those around him. His sage advice and perceptive observations often came when they were most needed, making him not only a beacon of laughter but a trustworthy confidant.

To describe Malcolm as merely loving, wise, and funny would only graze the surface of the profound impact he had on those fortunate enough to have known him. His influence extended beyond his immediate circle, impacting the lives of those he met in passing through his work and daily life.

As we say farewell to Malcolm, we celebrate a life brimming with devotion, courage, and joy. His memory will be cherished and kept alive in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. Malcolm's story doesn't end here but continues on through the laughter in our hearts and the indelible mark he's left on our community. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
