Michael J. Maxwell, 67, of New Castle, DE passed away quietly with his wife Kimberly by his side on February 14, 2026. Michael (Max) was a jokester.

He loved spinning a good story and making people laugh. He loved betting horses, the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Orioles. But there was nothing in this world he loved more than his wife Kimberly of 31 years. They shared a once in a lifetime love.
