He completed his military service in the U.S. Army National Guard serving as a member of the military police unit in Danville, Indiana. One of the highlights of Max's life was the Honor Flight in 2019 for his military service during the Vietnam War era.

He briefly attended Sam's Technical Institute in Indianapolis before beginning his 31 year career working at Allison's Division of General Motors. He retired from Allison's in 1996.

Max also worked part-time for 27 years at Weaver & Randolph Funeral Home in Danville. During his time working for Weaver and Randolph, he was an EMT and spent many years working on an ambulance at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the month of May.

Max married Beverly E. Jenkins of Coatesville, IN on September 21, 1963. Together they worked hard to provide for their family of three children with all three attending and graduating college. Max's children and grandchildren were the apple of his eye and he loved them all dearly.

Max was beloved by all and had an infectious personality and laugh which made him a joy to be around.

Max and Bev loved to travel during their 57 year marriage visiting 47 of the 50 states and many of the Canadian provinces. Max loved the mountains and especially the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. He also loved birdwatching and kept busy keeping his many bird feeders full.

Max was a former member of Danville First Baptist Church (Westbridge) for over 30 years and currently a member of Kingsway Christian Church for the past 17 years. He loved his church and church family. Sunday's were the highlight of his week.
