Upon retirement Max sold the business.

Max was involved with the community in many ways.

Max was a founder of the local Arthritis Foundation of which he co chaired many successful events. He served on the Criminal Justice Board and many more.

In Max’s free time he enjoyed traveling to the Bahamas and fishing on his boat “The Big D”. Another of his favorite past time activities was playing 18 holes with his family and friends on the local golf courses in the paradise of Palm Beach County.

Max is survived by his two sons, John Mark Davis (and his spouse Nancy) and James Matthew Davis. He is also survived by his sisters, Jeanette and Sue; his brothers, Joe Davis and is spouse Vicki and Rex Davis and his spouse Lilly Mae. Along with his five grandchildren Jessica, Jonathan, Joshua, Michelle and Ryan, and several great grand children and nieces and nephews.
