I met Coach Maxwell in 1999, when he came to coach at Petrolia. I always had a lot of respect for him as my coach and teacher. When he returned to Petrolia, I felt very fortunate that my two boys were able to be coached by him too. No matter what kind of player you were, he would make you a better athlete, and a better person on and off the field. Definitely speak for a lot of people when I say this one was taken too soon. We are gonna miss you.

My junior high crush although you never knew me. My heart would go pitter patter just to see your car as my school bus passed your house.
Mandy, my friend, you always had a beautiful smile. Please keep smiling knowing that your brother is smiling from heaven.
May God bless the Maxwell Family.

Pat, you will be missed greatly but know your legacy will live on through your daughters and the many you coached on and off the field. May you play on your Field of Dreams now and forever.
Barb and family, may the memories you have comfort you in this difficult time. Know that you are loved and have many you can lean on if...
