In Loving Memory of Max Dorone - Brand, OBM
With great sadness we inform you of the sudden passing of Max Dorone - Brand, OBM, beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend.
Max was the devoted husband of Naomi Brand, and the loving father of Samantha Brand (Eric Nestel) and Gabriel Brand. He was the proud grandfather of Charlotte-Faye (Charley) Talia Nestel of Tennessee. Max was the cherished son of Jakub and Batya Brand of New Jersey and the dear brother of Ephie Sietz (Steven Sietz), also of New Jersey. He was the son-in-law of Richard and Rosalie Malter of Cottonwood.
Max lived a full and dedicated life. He was a hard-working man who earned the deep respect of colleagues and leaders alike. His dedication, attention to detail, and wealth of knowledge defined his career and left a lasting impression on all who worked with him.
Outside of work, Max found joy in swimming, hiking, and spending time with his family. He especially cherished attending Chabad services during the High Holy Days, where he felt spiritually connected and at peace.
Max was, above all, a family man - a provider, a coach, and a leader. He held himself to the same high standards he encouraged in others, leading with strength, integrity, and love.
To his family, Max was a man like no other. He believed in them, protected them, pushed them to be strong, and loved them unconditionally. His legacy lives on in the lives he shaped, the love he gave, and the memories he leaves behind.
May his memory be for a blessing.
