Malcom Wayne Engle

COFFEEVILLE –   Malcom Wayne Engle, 59, of Coffeeville, passed away on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center – Grenada.

Malcom was born on August 9, 1967, in Grenada to Kenneth Earl Engle, Sr. and Debra Coleman Engle. He grew up to become a hardworking man who spent most of his life behind the wheel as a truck driver, logging countless miles and meeting countless friends along the way.

But driving trucks was only part of who Malcom was. He had a true gift for fixing things — there wasn’t much he couldn’t take apart, figure out, and put back together better than before. As a skilled small engine repairman, he was the guy everyone called when something broke down, and he never once turned away a friend or neighbor in need of a helping hand.

Malcom loved life and lived it his way. He enjoyed nothing more than a day of fishing, a good meal cooked for the people he loved, and the slow, satisfying work of restoring old cars back to life. And if there was ever a deal to be made, Malcom was your man — he loved to trade and had a knack for always coming out on the good end of a bargain.

Malcom will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will live on in the stories told, the engines he fixed, the cars he restored, and the countless lives he touched along the way.

Funeral services were held at 4 p.m. Tuesday, September 29, McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service with Rev. John Goldwater officiating. Mr. Richard Bennett delivered a personal eulogy.  Raven Bennett, Richard Bennett, Cliff Engle, Kenny Engle, Tony Martin, Jerry McCowan, Joe McCowan and Bill McDaniel served as honorary pallbearers.

Survivors include his wife, Tiffany McDaniel Engle; mother, Debra Coleman Engle; daughters, Amanda Goff (Lee), Brittany Carpenter (Chad), Amber Franklin (Hunter) and Rylie Tindall, all of Grenada; son, Raven Bennett of Lake Cormorant; brothers, Kenny Engle (Angie) of Grenada and Cliff Engle (Diane) of Belzoni; and seven grandchildren, Kila Carpenter, Stateum Melton, Shyanne Franklin, Skylynn Nienaber, Spencer Franklin, Kinsley Goff and Kaylee Goff.

He was preceded in death by his father.
