Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s mother breaks silence weeks after actor’s death

'Malcolm left an indelible mark on the world and on countless hearts. All who met him, however briefly, were better for the encounter,' Pamela Warner wrote.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s mother, Pamela Warner, has released a statement about her late son, nearly three weeks after the actor died in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica.

Pamela posted a lengthy message about her son on an Instagram account dedicated to The Cosby Show actor’s legacy, titled Malcolm-Jamal Warner Living Legacy.

“Needless to say our hearts are heavy with the loss of Malcolm,” she began. “He was a kind, loving man with a huge heart for humanity. He wanted all to be aware of their inner strength and that they could succeed, accomplish and transform. This was his latest mission and work, transformation, in order for you to be fully present in your life.”

Pamela said that her son was “an exceptional husband, father, and son — a man deeply in love with life, his wife, and his daughter.”

“He was not only my son, but also my teacher, coach, confidant, business partner, and best friend. He was the son that his father was immensely proud of and loved fiercely and unconditionally,” she added.

She said that Malcolm was “in love with the magic of being an actor, always studying and honing his craft.”

“Though he began his musical journey a little later in life, at 26, he excelled as a bassist and formed his own band, Miles Long,” she wrote.
