Malcolm Benson, a resident of Rondeau Bay Estates passed away peacefully at CKHA with his loving daughters and wife at his side on January 15, 2025.  Born in Hartlepoole, England, Malcolm was the son of Henry and Mary (fortune) Benson.

Malcolm was the beloved husband of 49 years to Judy (Garlick) and is survived by his children Heather (Scott MacFarlane), Stephanie (James Baillargeon) and Ashley (Trent Zimmer).  He was an amazing grandfather to Hillary, Regan, Liam, Jameson and Walker.  Predeceased by his siblings Eric, Joan and Steve, he will be forever loved by Martin (Lisa), Graham (Darlene), Pam, Terry Paul, Kathryn and many nieces and nephews.

Malcolm worked at Navistar for 30 years and took care of his family first.  When he was not working, he was out on the water with his wife and daughters sailing, boating and windsurfing which he loved.  He enjoyed time at Rondeau Joe’s.

Malcolm had the ability to bring everyone together.  He would fix anything for anyone and would bring a smile to your face with those quick witted singles.  He didn’t just leave behind his loving family and friends, he left us with a template on how to live the perfect life.  We miss you always and forever.

May the wind always be in your sails, Daddy.

Cremation has taken place.  A celebration of life will take place at a later date.  Donations to the Diabetes Association or the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
