Malachi I. Gibbs' Obituary
Malachi Isaiah Gibbs
Malachi passed away far too soon on October 7th, 2023, from a very unfortunate car accident. Malachi worked for Food Lion and really loved that hat; he always had it with him. He graduated from Milford High School in 2018.
Malachi is described by those who love him as funny and goofy. He didn’t need a reason to laugh or joke, all he needed was his friends and family, and one thing is certain he had a lot of both. Malachi had the most infectious smile and commanded attention in any room he entered. Malachi’s early years were always as a happy baby and did a tour of all the aunties. The cousins reminisce on using Malachi to get out of church on Sundays for his asthma treatments and taking turns hanging out with him. Malachi was loved and always had a fondness for telling jokes and was ok no matter what. His jovial demeanor & laugh were enough to make anyone smile. Malachi growing up was always a joy to those around him and watching him grow that beard that he was so proud of. Anyone who knew Malachi can tell you that he would take the clothes from his back to ensure you were taken care of. He was the embodiment of selflessness and compassion. I pray that we all can take a lesson from him and create a more passionate & fun world. We owe it to Malachi to remind his son who he was and what he meant to us.
Malachi was preceded in death by his uncle Jimmy, grandfather Arson Sr., great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and cousins.
Malachi is survived by his son Devlon, mother Arlicia, brother Tayvon, grandmother Edna, uncles Calvin Jr. and Arson Jr. (Tameka), God parents Greg Sr. and Tanya, great aunts and uncles, host of cousins and friends and girlfriend Darnisha.
A viewing for Malachi will be held from 1 PM – 3 PM on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at the Watson Funeral Home & Crematorium, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, DE 19966.
