God bless Max and his family
I have known him since he was a little boy and he would come over to play with Finn Regan and when I saw him again in 2015 at Fin and Conni`s wedding, I was surprised that he remembered me from when he was such a little boy, he was very polite when I introduced myself and he said " nice to meet you Mrs. Erickson," and I told him Max I´m auntie Val!! he jumped for joy. He remembered me from when he was a little boy. God bless his dear heart, and all of you now.

This is so sad to hear. Max was my first kiss. We dated briefly freshman year in high school. I remember nights with my friends from La Salle walking around old town Pasadena and just being kids. So sorry for the loss of this special person.
