March 8, 1952 – April 15, 2024

Malcolm C Jolley was born March 8 1952 in Lamar Colorado. He was the only child to Malcolm Carter Jolley Sr and Emma G Jolley (Tessadri). The family later settled in Garfield County. Malcolm graduated from GSHS in 1971. He continued his education at CU Boulder where he received a degree in Engineering.
Malcolm moved back to the county and worked for Cleveland Cliffs in the oil shale industry in the Parachute and Rifle areas. His next adventure was working overseas for several years in many different countries in their Oil & Gas production facilities and refineries.
When traveling came to an end in the 80’s Malcolm found himself back home helping his father with his sheep farm business. He continued this until a few years after his father’s passing in 1993. He then retired and fulfilled his duty by managing his family’s properties.
Malcolm lost his mother Emma in 2009. Everyone close to him knew how much he loved her.
Malcolm continued his life and started traveling again. That is how he met his wife. He married Fabiana de Jesus Justino in November of 2016. They were still happily together when he passed.
A celebration of life will be held Thursday April 25th at Farnum Holt Funeral Home in Glenwood Springs at 10am. Please come and share your stories. Because of the short notice for this service, Farnum Holt will be open from 10-2 for an extended viewing.
