Karen Meyers. "His Father, brother
and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this
concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing
to support Malcolm and his vision. He was a caring, loving human
with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to
make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just
that."
"He was pure artistry -- constantly creating, seeking, and
discovering new ways to be both a source of inspiration and
catalyst for new artists. We were fortunate, not only to work with
Malcolm and watch his music evolve, but to witness his own personal
evolution that included a strong focus on building bridges and
opening doors for anyone and everyone he encountered. We hope his
ambitions to bring people together and to create new opportunities
will continue to live through the MMCF. We know Malcolm would be
appreciative and proud of the thought and care that is going into
making the MMCF a reality, so thank you to all who are selflessly
helping this come to life.
We will be forever proud of the man he was, and thankful that he
was able to share his gifts with the world." Kelly Clancy and Christian Clancy, co-managers/founders of 4
Strikes.
