Ron, a highly respected veteran of the Cobb County Police Department for 24 years, has passed away at the age of 72 after a lengthy and courageous confrontation with significant health challenges. He faced his final journey with the same unwavering courage and characteristic warm humor that defined his decades of service, leaving behind a legacy of selfless duty and enduring love.

Duty Served: A Legacy of 24 Years

For nearly a quarter of a century, Ron Malcolm upheld the commitment to protect and serve, becoming a fixture of the Cobb County Police Department. His years on the force were marked by professionalism and a kind spirit, earning him the respect of colleagues and the trust of the citizens he protected. Yet, even more remarkable than his professional dedication was his personal devotion to his wife, Maggie. For 43 years, they shared a partnership built on love, mutual support, and a shared commitment to serving those around them. Ron’s final struggle was a battle fought not just by him, but with Maggie fiercely at his side every step of the way.
