OBITUARY
No words can describe our love for Max – a vibrant 27-year-old who flourished in the world in every sense of the word. Kind, thoughtful, funny, industrious, smart and fun-loving. Yes – we are biased, but we believe there is no one reading this who wouldn’t agree.Older friends and family remember Max as the blond-haired, blue-eyed kid with the perpetual smile – from winning photo contests (really!) to beating older guys in a... see moreNo words can describe our love for Max – a vibrant 27-year-old who flourished in the world in every sense of the word. Kind, thoughtful, funny, industrious, smart and fun-loving. Yes – we are biased, but we believe there is no one reading this who wouldn’t agree.
Older friends and family remember Max as the blond-haired, blue-eyed kid with the perpetual smile – from winning photo contests (really!) to beating older guys in a foul-shooting contest while on vacation. He was a quiet kid – we used to joke at how few words he said in a day. But then he blossomed. Max wanted to be an architect but shifted gears and became a “Hoosier” - graduated Indiana University with a business degree. Working at prestigious Bloomberg and Blackstone/Reuters (now Refinitiv), Max was on his way up!
He loved living in the Big Apple – and roomed with two other (great) guys named Max – creating the “triple Max” of Max, Maxwell, and Maximilian. The three amigos. As all his friends will attest, Max liked a good time, loved to travel, and enjoyed everything the world had to offer. Just recently, he traveled with his longtime friend Pat Johnson for a biking, hiking and brew pub tour in Portland, Seattle and California.
Max was a huge dog lover (and dogs loved him) – the last text we received from Max was the first picture we (he) took of our dog Skylar – he was reminded of her while viewing passing dogs at a coffee shop in NYC with his girlfriend Melanie. Max made sure he called or texted us with all manner of topics at least three times a week – he was just so kind and thoughtful. Max was beloved and created a wonderful life not only for himself, but also for all of those around him. It was a life cut far, far too short from a terrible tragedy. He was truly beloved; we miss him terribly and always will.
