Max grew up in the Elk River area, he was very active in basketball, football, and baseball during his high school years.

He furthered his education by attending Brainerd Staples Technical College for Machinist Training. He married Jessica “Jessie” Wilds on July 25, 1998 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Anoka. Max worked as a machinist for Mate Precision Tooling in Anoka; he always worked very hard to support his family. He was a handyman and could fix or build anything, usually in the company of his two sons. Max enjoyed pan fishing with his family on several area lakes. He was quiet, gentle, loving, and helping of others in need. Most importantly, Max loved his family, especially his boys beyond words. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
