Maxie L. Broaddus, 49 of Sparta passed away unexpectedly Thursday, December 31, 2015. A lifelong resident of Caroline, Maxie spent his entire life farming the land in and around his native county. After his father's death, when Maxie was 16, he dedicated his life to hard, physical labor and had a work ethic that only increased up until the time of his death. At his untimely passing, Maxie had grown his business and land holdings, making him one of the largest farmers in Virginia. He had recently restored historic Paynefield Farm in Essex County and opened it to friends and family from around the area as a place to have weddings and other events.

My Sincere Condolences to Maxi's daughters, family,loved ones and friends. I knew Maxi through my business dealings with him.He was always my favotite customer. Over the many years of our business interactions I came to recognize how very special Maxi was. No matter when we'd talk on the phone he was always light-hearted, optimistic and jovial even when things weren't going so well with his work. I never once hesitated to pick up the phone and call him. Even though he was one of the busiest farmers I know, he always made time for cordial and friendly conversation with me. I was always amazed at how calm and composed he sounded even while handling some kind of business crisis. One thing he did manage to convey was his pride and love for his daughters. It was evident that they were so very important to him it was as if his love and affection for them was a big part of his drive for success in his business and life in general. He surely will be missed!
