Max Weinreb Obituary

Max Steven Jackson Weinreb August 16, 1993 - August 31, 2014 Max was a musical artist, rapper, graffiti artist, break dancer, skateboarder, chess master, marshal artist, entrepreneur, funny guy, wonderful son, brother, nephew, and boyfriend. He founded Pro-Two Col Regulators, a semi-professional break dance group. Max was a one of a kind person who had the ability to light up a room with his charismatic personality and powerful presence. His generosity and kindness were felt by everyone he connected with in life. Max had the ability to challenge friends to pursue their dreams and to push themselves to higher aspirations. He was truly an inspiration to everyone he met and knew. Max is survived by his parents, Beth Jackson and Marion Weinreb, Marion's life partner, Paula Pilecki, brother-Jacob, sister-Gloria, best friends-Kevin, Jimmy, and Jack, Grandma Lil, Aunt Kay, Uncle Rod, Aunt Sara, Uncle Bill, Aunt Joann, Uncle Chuck, Uncle Dan, many nieces and nephews and cousins, and girlfriend, Isis Jah. His Pro-Two Col Regulators crew included Danny, Jimmy, Hooman, Dave, Peter, Josh, Eddie and Tom. Max also had many half siblings that he was fortunate to have met: Maya, Zach, Noah, Gabe, Eli, and Sophie. To give you a sense of Max, here is a quote from his CD, Hypocritical Individual. "This hatred towards different faces, can't we replace it and join forces? If we could, it will bring opportunities that will truly set us free." "My love for you will never change. I only pray that this pain will one day fade. I told you that you were stuck with me for life but I had no idea that your life would be cut so short and now my heart beats for both of us. I am trying to stay strong I know you would want me to but we both know how that goes. You were truly loved Max! You were my first love, my best friend, my everything! May you Rest in Paradise, my love. Isis" Max, you left this earth too soon and your family and friends will always love you and keep you close in our hearts. We are SO proud of who you are and all that you did for this world. A celebration of Max's life will be held on Sunday, September 7th. Donations in Max's memory can be made to Homeward Bound of Marin, https://hbofm.org. Max's passion was to feed the homeless and to embrace diversity of all socioeconomic groups.

Max (Pro2col) and me made songs together, he did a video for a song we made called 'Hypocritical Individual'. We used to message each other through YouTube. I'm a musician from Manchester UK. I'm sending love to your family, friends and girlfriend. I'm glad I got the chance to meet you and work with you Max. You were so positive, talented, motivated and brave. I write this with my eyes watering mate! BUT very very inspired by your life and what you stood for. Lots of love, James.

I'll miss you brother. I know it has been over 2 years since we last saw eachother, but I always considered you one of my good friends. You were one of the most down to earth, loyal friends a guy could have. No matter what, you had my back. That's one thing I never forgot about you. I have so many good memories with you bro... You breakdancing in my living room, having huge airsoft wars all over mill valley, mobbing around town on my bmx bike while you rode on the handle bars, trying to jump curbs. I can't believe this. I wish I hadn't let us loose contact when I moved away. Rest in peace my man, I'll always have love for you.

I can see Max as a toddler sliding down a slide I put him on at Wright School kindergarten play yard after school let out and playing in the mud in our back yard. I am glad I had the opportunity to care for him that short time. I will always remember it. Blessed Be Nephew. Your Loving Aunt, JoAnn

Max you were taken from your family too soon. I will keep you in my heart forever and always remember the last time I saw you at the family reunion carrying out all the 10 leftover pizza boxes and huge bowl of salad and when I asked you what you were going to do with all that food you said eat it. MaBeth ended up with a lot of leftover pizza in her refrig. I will miss you and I have many fond memories of you.

I can still see Max's face light up as he entered The MYC Youth Center to break dance and create music. His peers admired him and staff were inspired by him. He lives on through them.

Max, I just want to thank you. I never had a conversation with you that didn't leave me inspired. Your potential and your ability to create confidence in others cannot be matched. I know you left too soon and wanted to accomplish more, but I remember you saying "I've done it all." And in all that you did, your intentions were pure. I will see you soon my brother, in a place full of good-hearted individuals like you. You were a blessing in my life and your impact will live forever. Be good Max! Be good... See you soon j dubb. rest in peace my man.
