In April 3, 1947 he married Nathalie Dykeman, the love of his life, in Ada. Kayron Maxine was their first child, followed by Zula Faye, Max William and Nathalie Iona.
Family was very important to Max. He was a doting son; he loved his brothers and sisters, and became the favorite uncle of many of his nieces and nephews.
His family moved from Texas to Oklahoma, finally settling in the Seminole area.
He graduated from Carr City and attended college off and on at East Central in Ada. But in 1947, he joined the United States Marines and was sent to the Island of Guam. He and his fellow soldiers were captured by the Japanese and he spent 44 months in a hell on earth.
Upon his release, he returned to East Central, where he met and married Nathalie.
On their 60th wedding anniversary, he left this earth to join his bride.
Max spent most of his working life with warren Petroleum, a subsidiary of (then) Gulf Oil. He was good with his hands and good with numbers, and used those talents to help his family and friends.
He served many years as treasurer of the Church of Christ in Maysville, Okla., and later as an elder of the Church of Christ of Stratford.
Max served as secretary-treasurer of the Maysville AFL-CIO local and in that position helped numerous people in their employment issues.
He served on the school board at Maysville and on the Selective Service Board of Garvin County. He was a member of the Stratford American Legion Post and a Mason.
He loved sports, fish and dominoes, and he loved to laugh and to tease. Family was important to him, and he and Nathalie loved each other, their children and their grandchildren deeply.
His fellow POWs from Zensuji played a big role in his life, particularly John "Tiny" Lagrone and A.R. "Boogie" Miller and their families.
After Nathalie’s death in 1995 and the loss of Kayron and his injuries in their accident in 1996, he more rapidly declined.
In 1998 he moved with his mother-and sister-in-law, Zula and Berniece ("Chick") Dykeman, to Midwest City. He lived several places including Teal Ridge in Edmond and the OKC VA Hospital before moving to the Norman Veterans Center in October 2004.
