Max Conn Obituary
Max was born on Feb. 20, 1952, in Glendale, Ariz., to John "JV" Vernon and Ruby Kathleen Conn.
Max is survived by his wife, Ruthann; sons, John (Dawn) Conn, Michael (Julie) Conn, Eric (Zanna) Conn and Terry (Tiffany) McGovern; daughter, Tanae Parry; as well as 17 grandchildren, Maxwell, Jessica, Nathan, Noah, Madison, Weston and Wyatt Ruby Conn, Courtney and Caitlin Parry and Kiana, Tierra, Maribella, Lilianna, Tiernan, True, Persephone and Seraphina McGovern. He is also survived by a sister, Susan (Martin) Pezoldt; a brother, James (Lahoma) Conn; along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Max was family oriented. His family and his business were his life. He came from Oklahoma to Alaska in 1981 and worked in the asphalt paving industry, starting his own company shortly after his arrival. He owned and operated Custom Paving with his dad and brother and in 1994, upon his dad's retirement, he and his sons started MJM Services, which is still owned and operated by the family today.
Max worked hard and, in the off season, he played hard. He loved to travel to warm, sunny destinations and spent winters doing just that with his family and friends. He left his family with many treasured memories.
Per his wishes, there is no service planned.
