Malcolm Loper Obituary
Mack is survived by his devoted wife, Jean; his sister, Sheila Toth (Randy); his loving stepchildren; his adoring grandchildren; and his nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Malcolm G. and Geneva Loper, his brother Milton, and his sister Mamie Boling.
A man devoted to family first and country second, Mack lived a life marked by service, loyalty, and quiet strength. He proudly served more than 22 years in the U.S. Air Force, earning the rank of Tech Sergeant before retiring from active duty. Following his military career, he continued his commitment to fellow veterans by serving in several leadership roles within American Legion posts. Mack found joy in simple pleasures and steadfast traditions-none more cherished than cheering on his beloved Atlanta Braves and Mississippi State Bulldogs. He shared that enthusiasm generously with all who knew him. He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his deep sense of duty, and the kindness and steadiness that defined his life. His legacy of devotion, integrity, and service lives on in all who were blessed to know him.
A memorial service with military honors will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at Evergreen Baptist Church, Evergreen Church Road, in Clayton, Alabama with Rev. Wiley McWhorter officiating and Glover Funeral Home directing. Visitation will begin at 1:00 PM.
In honor of his patriotism, the family requests that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project in lieu of flowers.
Glover Funeral Home of Clayton was entrusted with the arrangements. (334) 775-3403. Please sign the guestbook online at www.gloverfuneral.com
