Maxwell Tolbird JR.

There will be a celebration of life for Maxwell Hilton Tolbird, 70, of West Monroe, Louisiana at 2:00 P.M. on Friday November 14, 2025 at Kilpatrick Funeral Homes, West Monroe. Visitation will be held from Noon until 2:00 P.M. Interment will follow at Walnut Grove Cemetery with Rev. Kenny Bratton and Tanner Barton officiating.
Max was born on December 12, 1954, and entered into his heavenly home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. He was welcomed home by his parents, Hilton "Red" Tolbird, Laura Murphy, and his precious son Little Max. Those left to cherish his memory are his best friend and love of his life Holly; his daughter Misty Hamilton and husband Jarred; his sisters Ann Evans and Donna Fuller; his favorite Aunt, Mary Yeager; his stepmother Carol Tolbird; along with numerous friends who had become his family.
Max started his career at Monroe Mack, in Monroe La, where he worked for many years. He finished his career as co-owner of Winn Truck and Trailer in Winnfield La, where he recently retired after 40 years. He spent most of his time at their home on the Ouachita River doing what he loved most- hunting, fishing, and worked endlessly to make their home a place for family and friends to gather.
Those that knew Max knew he never met a stranger. You just never knew what was going to come out of his mouth! He had such quiet sense of humor, and always found time to make people laugh.
Max spent every morning reading his Bible, dedicating his time with the Lord! His love for the Lord shined through him not only at work but to his family and friends that he enjoyed spending time with.
Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord! Max has entered into his heavenly home, where he is with the Lord, surrounded by his amazing love!
Pallbearers will be Jordan Carpenter, Garrett Womack, Levi Womack, Matt Persilver, Rodee Cater, and Christian Chelette.
