I met Max on Facebook, he messaged me when he realized our families probably knew each other and he was right about that. As you may or may not know, it's often difficult to find information about native family members from long ago, most of the records were destroyed, so we must gather info from those who still remember them. Max' s father was good friends with older members of my family and he had many stories to share with me about that! Over the years, Max helped me to recover some of that missing information about my family. It may not sound like a big deal to some, but to me it has meant so very much and made all the difference in my life. Max shared stories of his childhood and many experiences he had, these stories helped me to further understand historical trauma, how it began & how it continued to affect people throughout life. He struggled with those things, but he was headstrong, he was focused on helping not harming. He used all of that in attempt to help others, even towards the end, he was still using what he learned to give encouragement to others. He said it felt good to know that he could still help people in some way.
Max also shared about amazing spiritual experiences he had as a young boy, he said it had been since his father passed away that he had anyone to discuss those things with. I feel so blessed that he shared such stories with me. Those who really knew him, we know Max is and was a good man. If you heard his story, I assure you that he was speaking truth! I didn't spend much time with Max in person, but wish we had had more time to explore nature as he had much wisdom to share about those things as well. One of my favorite stories that he shared was about a time that he got stranded way out in the woods and wasnt gonna make it back before dark. He had no supplies and it was quite chilly at night. He was worried about the wild dogs. and he was right to worry about that. When they came, surprisingly a wolf came to his rescue and chased the wild pack of hungry dogs away. The wolf returned and cuddled up with Max to keep him warm through the cold night. He said he often wondered about that because he isn't wolf clan, he didn't quite understand why a wolf would do that for him. To me it made all the sense in the world. 😃 People often say they don't trust people who don't like dogs, but they trust dogs who don't like people. A wild wolf came to help Max and that's the most pure hearted kind of canine you could ever find. 🙄 We all have ups and downs throughout life, Max would tell ya to make the most of those things, use the hard situations to make yourself a better person and try to inspire others to do the same. Don't give up, keep going..... and most of all..... LOVE each other the best you can! I love you Max....Thank you for everything and I will see you on the other side my friend!
❤💙💚💛💜

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Max. We grew up in Owatonna in the same class, but reconnected and talked deeply about the real world so very much in the last 10 years or so. I wasn't done learning from and sharing with Max, but I treasure our friendship, I am blessed by it, and I will look forward to being on the same side of the world with him again. Peace to us all. See you soon, Max. Fly free, my friend.
