Max’s two passions in life were computers and his great-granddaughter Embry. Nothing made him smile more than seeing Embry toddle into the room. She loved him too, always giving him a big smile and wave on her way to preschool each morning. Max spent a lot of his free time building and playing on his computers. He took great pride in building state of the art gaming systems and loved playing warfare games such as Battlefield.
Max will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. He is at peace with God.
