Max Stone "Stoney" Hays

July 2, 1943 – March 14, 2026

Max Stone "Stoney" Hays passed away on March 14, 2026, at

the age of 82, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Born on July 2, 1943, in Hollywood to Max and Lorraine Hays,

Stoney was a man of deep dedication. In 1966, he began a

distinguished career as an Ironworker with Local 433. His skill

and unwavering work ethic helped shape the Los Angeles

skyline, standing as a lasting testament to his craft and the pride

he took in his work.

Outside of his career, Stoney was a devoted sports fan who

never missed a Lakers or Rams game. While he loved his dogs,

Kobe and Harley, his greatest pride was his family. As a father

and grandfather, he was a constant, reliable presence who never

failed to show up for the people he loved.

Stoney was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Pamela Hays.

He is survived by his four children: Laurie Quilici, Celine

Ciaccio, Jack Hays, and Johnathan Hays, and their spouses; his

sister, Lorinda Kurkowski, and her children, Tara and Bryna

Frost; and a host of loving cousins and friends. His legacy lives on through his grandchildren—Stephanie, Lindsey, Dallas, Michelle, Tyler, Christian, Michaella, Jordyn, Luke, Tony, Jace and Zadie—as well as his ten greatgrandchildren.

He touched many lives and will be deeply missed by all who

knew him.
