Walter Malcolm Green

Walter Malcolm Green peacefully returned home and was reunited with his beloved parents and family on July 25, 2026, at the age of 90.

Malcolm was born on August 8, 1935, in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, to Walter William Edward Green and Florence Doris Evans.

A fun-loving and curious child, Malcolm had enough energy for all of his siblings. As the baby of the family, he enjoyed the special privileges that often came with that role. In his own words, he was "the last of his generation to go."

He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Florence; his brothers, Alan (Elsie) and Philip (Margaret); his sisters, Barbara, Thelma (Russell), and Patricia (Henry); his nephew, Alan; many extended family members; and his beloved dogs.

After completing grade school, Malcolm began an apprenticeship in tool and die making. He worked briefly in the trade before proudly serving in the Royal Air Force. During his military service, he was stationed in England, Germany, Malta, and Libya, where he maintained military aircraft. Malcolm treasured the independence and adventure his service provided. On weekends, he and his fellow servicemen would travel to nearby countries, beginning what would become a lifelong love of exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and experiencing the world.

Following his military service, Malcolm returned to England and resumed his work in the tool and die profession. He later joined the National Cash Register Company, where he serviced the beautiful antique cash registers for which the company was well known. In 1972, he immigrated to the United States and accepted a position with Litton Industries as a night supervisor. He retired in 1999.

Malcolm made his home in Sandy, Utah, where he found great joy in remodeling his home, caring for his yard, and developing lasting friendships with wonderful neighbors.

In 2019, he sold his home and moved to Legacy Retirement Residences, a decision he often described as "the best decision of my life." There he found another family among the residents, staff, and friends who surrounded him with love and companionship.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to all of the friends Malcolm considered family. Your kindness, friendship, and love made his final years rich with happiness and cherished memories. We also thank his doctors and nurses who faithfully cared for him over the years. To Malcolm, you were more than caregivers—you were dear friends.

Malcolm wished to leave these final words: "To all of my extended family, thank you to those who showed up for me. The telephone calls, letters, gifts, wonderful visits with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Halloween, Thanksgiving, car shows, and the times you simply stopped by for a visit all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for giving of yourselves. To my adopted grand kiddos, I never said it often enough, but I leave you with my love. You know who you are, and I hope you know how much I loved you. Thank you. Love, Malcolm."

Malcolm is lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family members, and dear friends whom he considered family.

In accordance with Malcolm's wishes, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you remember Malcolm by extending kindness to others, spending time with those you love, or supporting a local charity or organization.

The following poem, written by his sister, Thelma, was one Malcolm particularly loved and felt expressed his own feelings.
