Max Wayne Moffitt, 100, of Twin Falls passed away Wednesday evening, October 17, 2018 at the Grace Assisted Living Center in Twin Falls.
Max was born in Prescott, Iowa on October 25, 1917. The family came to Idaho in 1925 and rented a farm in Filer. They moved to Kimberly in 1929. Max graduated from Kimberly in 1935 and married his high school girlfriend, Ruth, in 1939.
Max farmed with his father until 1943 and after his father’s passing Max & Ruth bought their own farm south of Kimberly. They moved to Jerome in 1956 where he continued farming until he retired in 1971. Following retirement they moved to Twin Falls where Max worked as a Potato Inspector for the USDA. He later moved over to the Dept. of Agriculture Crop Insurance Program as an Adjuster. When the D.A. phased out of the Federal Insurance Program, Max went to work for Rain and Hail (a private crop insurance company). He worked there until he retired again at age 85.
Ruth passed away in 1976. Max developed a special companionship with Mary Cedoline that lasted over 42 years.
Max is survived by his oldest son, Donald Moffitt of Nampa, Idaho. As well as special friends, Dale and Jackie Kemp who have been a great blessing of comfort to Max for many years.
