Death of Malcolm Everett Hutchinson

Hutchinson was born in Claremont, NH to the late Malcolm Everett Hutchinson Sr. and Ruby Esther Woodard Hutchinson. He passed away in Wewoka, OK

He was a graduate of Pioneer Valley Academy, Atlantic Union College (BA in theology) and Andrews University, where he received a EdD in educational instruction.

He was proceeded in death by his son, Daniel John Asa Hutchinson (Oct. 20, 1985–Aug. 8, 2023).

He is survived by his wife, Nada Gaye Kaiser Hutchinson, son, Samuell Malcolm, and his family, Laura Lee Sluiter Hutchinson, grandsons Tyler, Ajay and Tony, and granddaughter Abbygayle. He is also survived by his mother, Ruby Hutchinson, brother Everett, and three sisters—Diane Pollard, Connie Goodchild and Gwen Fisher.

Mick (Malcolm) pastored churches in Maine, Vermont and Illinois and then served as an educational administrator at Pine Tree Academy, Blue Mountain Academy, Bakersfield Adventist Academy, Richmond Academy and Highland View Academy. He also worked as facilities director at Affiliated Computer Services in Lexington, KY. He traveled extensively to many countries as he led mission trips to build churches, schools, an orphanage and call centers.

Retirement never stopped his involvement with youth. He kept in touch with many of his former students and added new young friends with his sage advice, care and willingness to listen. He volunteered at Wewoka Woods Adventist Center, doing everything from washing dishes to clearing land. He loved people and loved teaching—especially history. He built three churches—Barre, VT; Alton, IL and Collinsville, IL. The people he was able to lead to Christ became lifelong friends, and he was most proud of them.

His favorite things to do included traveling, gardening, cutting down trees for firewood, cats, birds and art. He taught Bible, American and World History, and art appreciation. He was an energetic principal and was always "on the kids side."

He would want to be remembered as a God-fearing and loving husband, father and grandfather. His grandchildren were his pride and joy.

A memorial service will be held on Feb. 18, 2024 at Wewoka Woods Adventist Center at 11 a.m. Reception will follow at the same location. The internment service will be in Vermont. Date and time to be announced later.
