The first time I met Decon Maxey, he left a lasting impression on me. He had such a warm and pleasant spirit about him. I was only blessed to be in the presence of Deacon Maxey a few times (3x max.), but I always inquired about his well being as well as kept him my prayers. My prays and thoughts are with the family of Deacon Maxey, one of the sweetest spirit I was, and blessed to have met.

May the God of peace give comfort to all the family and friends as we reflect on His promise to wipe away every tear from our eyes and to forever do away with death, pain and sorrow. F.S.
