On July 2, 1999, Malcolm and Catrina Collins Holman were united in holy matrimony. God allowed them to enjoy 25 years together with their children and grandson.

His life was fulfilled in knowing the truth. He was an extremely lovable, outgoing man that was able to talk to anyone. He would offer encouraging words and was straight forward with whatever he said. He had a strong handshake and his hugs were the best. He would light up a room with his booming voice and he loved to laugh. He adored his family and would do all that he could to make sure they were happy.
