Maxwell Brawn Obituary
2012 - 2016
ST. ALBANS and Fryeburg - Maxwell Bernie Brawn, 4, one of the sweetest boys ev- er, died unexpectedly on Sunday, May 22, 2016, in St. Albans.
Max was born on April 25, 2012, in Waterville, the son of Brent Brawn and Brianna Smith.
He loved everything a little boy would: animals, bugs, playing ball, riding his bike, camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking and of course, Luigi. He enjoyed reading and learning new things. Some of his favorite things to eat were apples, salt and vinegar chips, and Doritos. He loved his dog Tonka and his cat Goober.
He leaves behind his mother, Brianna Smith of Fryeburg; his father, Brent Brawn and his companion Melissa Gatz, of St. Albans; his siblings and very best friends, Lenox Gary Brawn, Bella Rose Cornish and Griffin LeClair; grandparents, Gary Smith of Parsonsfield, Rose Smith of Bangor, Joseph Brawn and friend Linda Grace of New Mexico, and Cynthia Crandall Brawn of St. Albans; great-grandmothers, Nancy Smith of Parsonsfield and Joyce Chambers of Patten; Justin and Sue Humphrey, who were like second grandparents to Max; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be loved and missed by so many that we cannot list them all.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, May 27, at the Shorey-Nichols Funeral Home, 191 Hartland Ave., Pittsfield. A funeral service will be held at noon on Saturday, May 28, at the funeral home, with Pastor Peter Main officiating. A private family committal will take place at a later date. Care has been provided by Shorey-Nichols Funeral Home, Pittsfield. To leave a message of kindness, please visit: www.shoreynichols.com
