Max was born on January 25, 1934 in Laramie, Wyoming. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and worked as administrative assistant to the Governor of Iowa for 37 years. He was gifted with being the "very best" listener without passing any judgement. Max would be the first to tell everyone how precious life is and to always remember the precious moments, not the number of days we are here.

Noe; children, Frankie Peterson, Roxanna Pierce, Rhonda Bowdish, and Radney Lucko, our lives were so richly blessed the day you became our dad; sisters, Delores Branch and Arylene Richardson; nieces, Teresa Batherick, Becky Kilgore, and RayShonna Richardson, all to include spouses, children; other nieces and nephews; grandchildren; and extended descendants and their families
