I´ll never forget him or the sweet things my mom (his art teacher) said about him. He was a very special boy to her and many people! He´ll always be remembered and his love of Pokémon, art and his kind spirit to name a few. I hope his parents are doing well. I Think of them and pray they feel peace.

Max created wonderful artwork in my class. He was so kind and thoughtful. I think of him often and pray for his family. I will always remember him.

On this, the 10th anniversary of the day our beloved son, Max went to Heaven, I am still so touched and grateful beyond words for the outpouring of support shown on this website - even to this day. Max was an incredibly special angel to me - and always will be. It it heart-warming to believe he was special to so many others and that they still remember him fondly. For those of you who have shared what was in your heart about Max on this website, it shows how really special you are, too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts and prayers and please keep remembering Max. He lives on forever in our hearts.

I just want Max's parents to know I still think about him a lot and I'm sorry for what happened. We weren't close friends but we sat next to each other in class a couple times. I remember how he always snuck a bunch of plushies into his backpack. He was so sweet and always the smartest kid in class. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Max had their lives made a little richer.

I went to Stewart with Max and was in the same grade with him a couple of times. I can still see him bringing his Pikachu (and his many puffles!) to class. He was very sweet and beyond intelligent. Even though he isn't here anymore, he will still live on in the memory of those who knew and loved him.

I pass Max's tree everyday. I never met him but I think maybe he's keeping an eye on it. It's a bit thin but stronger than you could imagine. It blooms in the spring and survives the storms like nothing happened. It's a gentle reminder that on this journey on Earth we've got angels all around us. Sometimes I lose my faith but it's things like his tree that remind me I have a purpose in life, and that I am not alone.
Love and prayers to you all.

I know that this is a strange way to express my feelings. However, I feel that it is important to get them out and let it be known that Max has not been forgotten. As Halloween rapidly approaches, I occasionally think about Max, as his birthday is also my grandfather's. I still have good memories of our time in Cub Scouts together. I remember how proud and happy he was when he won first place as an astronaut during the Halloween party one year. He looked very sharp in the outfit. I also remember how much fun we had during the Pinewood Derbies and Raingutter Regattas. I believe he will have a wonderful birthday in Heaven. May his spirit always be with us. Amen.

Dear Karin and Patrick:
We are very sorry for the loss of Max. Both of you were such wonderful parents to Max and inspirations to all of us.
Tonight, instead of us comforting you, you were giving us kind words, encouragement and strength, which helped us appreciate the deeper and true meaning of family. You are truly kind and amazing.
Indeed, Max appeared very peaceful tonight during the viewing. He was a very special person and will live on in our hearts.
May the joy and wonderful memories the three of you shared help give you strength and comfort during this time of deep sorrow. You are in our prayers.

Karin and Patrick, I am so deeply sorry for this tragic event. Max was a kind, gifted, caring and wonderful boy - no surprise - he has wonderful parents. Andrew was very sad to hear about "my friend Max" whom he befriended in both science and art camp. Andrew really liked Max a lot. I can't tell you how much I hurt for you.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Grablin:
Troop 8 and I were so saddened to learn about Max's departure. There are no words to express our feelings of sadness. Troop 8 lost a great scout. Max was a kind, smart, sensitive and very independent person. We remembered how much fun we had with Max at the last summer camp in LaNoche. We will always remember the wonderful time we shared with Max. He will be missed in our troop meetings and future camping trips.
Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Joshua Shepherd and the Scouts of Troop 8

When I think of Max I think of his beautiful blonde hair and wonderful, sincere smile. I am just so sorry for your loss. Max was such a bright young boy and a delight to work and play with.

A few month ago, you brought your son to work while finishing your Saturday patient rounds at MMH. He was sitting at a desk in the dictation area, so earnestly reading that I did not want to interrupt. So I asked a nurse, "Who's that kid sitting back there?" She answered . "That's Dr. Grablin's son. He's so polite." One could tell that he was a vey sweet boy.
January 8, 2015
I wish that there was something I could say that could help in any way, but there are no words. We are all thinking of you so very much. We have such fond memories of our time with you all - our day at your home, our time with you here in England. You are in our thoughts and prayers… much love Lee, Sara, Charlie and Jake xx

Dr. And Mrs. Grablin,
It is impossible to express the profound sadness we felt when we learned of your son's passing. Having lost our youngest son when he was 19 yoa, we understand the feeling of losing a child; it creates an emptiness that is like having part of your heart and soul ripped away. God bless you as you work through your loss. Dr. And Mrs. Archie Smith and Jared

John and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the Grablin family. We don't understand why GOD takes someone so young, I would like to think he needed another angel and that was Maxwell. You now have a Guardian Angel to watch over you always. I met Maxwell at WinShape Curch Camp and he told me the story of Pokeman, he was so smart, kind and polite. You should be proud parents because you raised an awesome son. It's hard not to be sad but when you think of Maxwell in Heaven with Jesus oh what joy he must feel. You will see him again one day. May GOD Bless you with comfort, peace and understanding.
