Max Edward Thieme

Max Edward Thieme, beloved husband, father, friend, and community advocate, left this world far too soon on November 12, 2024, at the age of 38. Born on September 19, 1986, in Van Nuys, California, Max spent his life riding the open roads and embracing every moment to its fullest.
A devoted husband to his wife, Tawnie Thieme, and cherished father to Mackenzie, Jack, Payton, and JD, Max was the heart of his family. He had a vivacious and infectious personality that lit up any room he walked into. Friends and family knew him as the life of the party, always ready to share jokes and laughter, making every gathering more joyful.
Max dedicated his professional life to helping others as a Community Coordinator at Greater Houston Counseling Services. He pursued higher education with passion-holding a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from American Military University and currently enrolled in a Master's program in Psychology. His goal was clear: to create change for veterans who had faced challenges similar to his own. As a proud veteran himself, having served as a Gunner's Mate in the US Coast Guard, he was particularly passionate about supporting those who served. In addition to his professional efforts, Max also served as a council member for his town, further demonstrating his commitment to community engagement and support.
In addition to his dedication to his family and career, Max found immense joy in a variety of hobbies. He loved riding his Harley Softail, attending motorcycle rallies, coaching youth baseball, fishing, hunting, and exploring new breweries with his family. Whether he was relaxing on the beach, out on the boat, or grilling for friends in his backyard, Max's enthusiasm for life was evident.
Max shared his home with two beloved mini-pigs, Ricky Bobby and Cal, whom he adored. He enjoyed taking them to community events, raising awareness about the joys of mini-pigs and teaching others about their care. Max's kindness and desire to educate left a lasting impact on those around him. His love for food was only matched by his passion for cooking alongside Tawnie, often experimenting with new recipes and enjoying culinary adventures together. The couple enjoyed trying new restaurants as a family, always looking for the next adventure to share.
Max will be profoundly missed but forever remembered for his vibrant spirit, dedication to family and community, and the laughter he brought into our lives. Rest in peace, dear Max. Your journey on the open road may have come to an end, but your legacy rides on in our hearts.
