When I think of Max, I think of his loyalty, his creativity, his warm heart, his goofy laugh. He will be missed. Rest in love. 

So many memories my friend, working at Squash, pitching you a tent on our lawn, going to the Greenfield Free Harvest Supper in Court Square, and you trying kombucha for the first time. Your phone calls during the pandemic. Your heart was always wide open. Now all the music of all the stars and planets is yours to dance to and be danced by. I will look for you in the night sky, and call your name into my drumming. To Max's family and friends, my deep condolences. I am holding you all in my heart through these times. 

Our deepest condolences to the Charles family. God is in control. May Maxim’s soul Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory

My condolences to my friend Joie on the Loss of your son Maxim, May he Rest In Peace, & Rise In Glory. Only the Lord knows best. Your friend Molly (Steele) Romeo.♥☮

My sincere condolences to Ms. Joie Wilson-Charles & all Max's family and friends who loved him. May you find peace while carrying this grief. I knew Max in the mid 2000s through the Western Mass restaurant and music community, where we were briefly coworkers. I remember how Max's signature smile, his laughter and compassion often reassured me and many, even in stressful times. Thank you for being there Max. May you rest in peace, and may your smile live on in all those lucky enough to have known you. 

Joie and Family,I was so very sorry to hear of your dear son's death. I have prayed that Maxim's soul has entered the Lord's Kingdom and that he is resting in God's loving embrace.  May God provide strength to you and your family during this extremely difficult time. 

May your light  continue to shine in the lives you have touched. 

Gone but not forgotten.  Much love to all family and friends 

Sincere condolences to the family from Marion and Anthony Wilkinson.

May the Lord wrap His arms around you and the family.  Sending prayers up requesting strength for the days aheadWe love you. If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.Sincerely, Emille and  Elvia 

Max was one of my dearest friends. I considered him like a brother. He was one of the kindest human beings I have ever known and his smile lit up this world like the sun. May you rest easily my friend and shine on forever. Love & condolences to all. 

Dearest Maxim, we will certainly miss you. God bless, Joie, Maurice, and other family members as they undergo this very sad period. Words can hardly express how difficult it is to lose someone of the younger generation, especially when that person is you Godson. Goodbye, as    the Savior receives you in his arms.

Sorry to learn about the passing of Maxim. Thinking of Joie, Mervin and family.  May you find comfort in knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of those who knew and loved him.Margaret Allen

Max was a very close friend of mine for many years. We still kept in touch and had great conversations over the phone. I will never forget how deeply he loved and how caring he was. He was so funny and always made me smile. Thank you Max for everything. I will miss you forever, my friend. Rest easy. Love you

I am so saddened to hear of my childhood friend's passing. Max and I spent many summers riding our bikes around the neighborhood and getting into all sorts of fun and trouble. He was one of my first friends when I moved to Langhorne. His mother and brother were close family friends and helped us through some very challenging times. My deepest condolences to you, Joie and Mo.

You existed, then he did too.When I finally felt it, Him there tooMy role increased.Finally feel like that part of you has landed,I know myself better because of you.We won’t gloss over the journey that brought us together;The thrills of victory, The agony of defeat but the joy of finding you..I know so many others have found you.The same way I did,Minding my own business.Then a voice that sounded like mine;Spoke like mine,Said things I thought;I thoughtI know that.,That thing, Those words, That response,That is MY spirit living outside of meJust existing;Within meWithout meOutside of meThat part of me,  trying to understand himself better too.His faults were yours too,hoping for moreFrom myself and othersFeeling sometimes they are reckless with my heartKnowing sometimes I’m reckless with theirs Wanting no one to feel hurt,feel like they hurt another heart.Completely thoughtful.Responding.No matter what,with love and longing  Hoping for better;More for the ones you care the most for,Wanting the best for the ones you held closest And completely thoughtful always that makes us brothers.But I also understand that we heard ourselves And felt heardin that moment we found our brother finally someone who gets itGets usDifferentUnique and Completely understood Parts of a wholeWe are  joined here today as brothers.But the way it felt in that moment, and every moment since I will hold dear in my heart * I know myself better because i know you.* I understand acceptance better because of you * I will never forget to tell the people I love how much I love them because of you * I will be better because I know you We all need some structure.    I will always want that for you Good night my brother 

Much love to Max’s family.  I did not know him well, but I knew him to be a good man.  My deepest sympathies to you in this time of sorrow.  He will be missed.❤

We hung out and talked about our love for electronic music whenever I came up from Nyc all the time we would see eachother.  I am speechless... Max was a very kind soul.  Rest in peace my friend & My condolences goes out to the family.    -  Rudy Nunez (Groovecreator, Nyc)

I am so sorry to have heard of Maxim's passing.  We went to Neshaminy together.  I always remember him smiling and laughing.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  Sincerely - Heather McGrath

I use to love to listen to you spinning. You introduced me to jungle and drum and bass. To this day, every time I hear drum and bass I think of you. We had some amazing times together. Until we meet again. 

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.Pat and family in Saint Vincent
