Max Addy Obituary

Addy, Max R.

Max R. Addy, 22, born June 14th, 1992, passed away unexpectedly at home on Friday, November 28th. Max is survived by his parents, Thomas and Melissa; his brother, Cal; his great-grandmother, Else Livingston; his grandmothers, Charlotte Addy and Yolanda Whipple; his grandfather, Lanny Livingston; his uncles, Dan, Mitch (Julie), Doug (Jen), and Paul (Monica); as well as many, many cousins. He was predeceased by his great-grandfather, Raymond Livingston; his grandfather, Douglas D. Addy; and his uncle, Rick Addy. Max graduated from Newfield High School in 2010 as an exceptional student athlete and was captain of both the baseball and basketball teams. He earned many honors in both school and athletics. Max graduated from Ithaca College this past May with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management. He played baseball for the Bombers, and in 2013 the team finished third in the country after a trip to the College World Series in Appleton, Wisconsin. Max's most recent passion was to become a third generation line mechanic, following in the footsteps of his Dad, Tom, his uncle, Dougie and his grandfather, Douglas. He was attending the Southeast Lineman Training Center in Trenton, GA. He was one of 15 linemen to receive the "woodwalker" Award out of 200 possible candidates. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 10:00 A.M. at Immaculate Conception Church. Friends may call Wednesday evening December 3, 2014 from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. at Immaculate Conception Church. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Newfield Booster Club in Max's memory.

Alexandria Kuparinen

December 4, 2014

To the Addy family,

I'm so deeply sad about Max. It was difficult at first to intake the drastic news and change that I knew was coming for a lot of people in his life. I know what it is like to lose a direct family member, I've been there. Not everyone will understand the explicit pain you're experiencing, but support in all matters help! Take a deep breath and exhale, remind yourself everyday of everything you have to be grateful for. I know Max might not be physically here but he's within you, in your hearts, in all of our hearts.

Much love!

December 4, 2014

Tom, Missy, and Family,

My heart breaks for Max, and for all the family and the friends whose lives Max touched in his short time with us. I am so sorry for your loss and the sadness you must bear at this time. Max was a student of mine in the Business School at Ithaca College and I enjoyed having him as a student. I met him personally when I asked if he was possibly related to Julie, a former colleague of mine, and he said yes with a big smile. He was a fine young man with great heart & strong values, and who felt strong family connections. I was struck with his ease in sharing and modeling these attributes with his classmates, too. May the blessings he brought into the lives he touched be continuously remembered and a source of strength in the days and weeks ahead. My deep sympathy goes out to you as you work to cope with such a profound loss.

Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

Your family is in my thoughts at this difficult time, no words can console the death of a loved one, more so your son. I offer this prayer to behold and consider in healing from this tragic loss!

I had the pleasure of seeing Max in his younger baseball years and knew that with loving parents and a brother like all of you, he was a gem. My heart aches for you and your family in this tragic time. It goes against the order of life in that a parent should not lose a son or daughter. Please accept the strength in an entire community of friends and family who love your son and brother, and may the Lord welcome Max into his loving tender arms. I am so sorry for your deep loss.
