its been 5 years since max passed. i still have a hard time believing it. we all miss him like hell. i miss seeing him play drums. I go to a lot of local shows and I often look at the drummer and imagine its max. its very bittersweet. i miss him a lot. the last time i saw him was at a waterpark, my girl friends were ignoring me and he totally noticed and spent the day with me. it was such a sweet act of kindness.
Ryan,
My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your son. You are in my thoughts and prayers for comfort, strength, and healing.

Dear Spellecy Family and those loved by Max: I lit a candle after church Sunday and reflected fondly on the day Max found out I had 'good' candy in my office (Haribo gummy bears). He had such a delighted smile on his face as he traipsed back to his dad's office. I will continue to lift you all up in prayer.
Ryan, Katie and Abby - We are heartbroken over the loss of Max. What a blessing that we were able to know him and that Jordan's life was especially touched by him.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember max from OA -What a sweet ambitious young man who led our meetings with quiet confidence. May his memory live on in all who his life has touched.
Holding Max and your entire family close in prayer.
Ryan - I am profoundly sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers from a distance. I pray that you will have peace - and that your faith and your community will give you comfort during this terrible time.
I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Max's family and friends. For right now there's no detour around grief. No shortcut around mourning. However, please be comforted in knowing that Jehovah hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again.—Job 14:14, 15.
We are all thinking of the family. Our hearts go out to you and pray you find peace.
Ryan, we are thinking about you, your wife, daughter, family and friends and remember how you spoke of Max with pride, humor and love.
Dear Ryan,
Words are never adequate at times like this. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss and know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ryan - I am deeply saddened to hear of your and your family's loss. I know there are no words that I can offer to ease the pain and loss you and your family are experiencing. I remember meeting Max a few times when he came to work with you. The last time I saw him we shared memories of where we have camped and hiked - he had just returned from a family trip. I could see his love for the outdoors in his face, as he told me about the places he'd been as a scout. I am sending you love and strength.
Dear Ryan and Family- I am so, so sorry for your loss. Praying for you all and sending light and love.
Dear Ryan and Family: I don’t know what to say, other than I am so sorry. I am praying for all of you. Dan
My daughter Raven Welk went to school with Max at Parkside. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and the many friends Max left behind.

Our daughter shares a couple classes with Max at Reagan. She has often shared with us funny stories and jokes and videos that include, or sometimes star, Max. He was a good friend to our daughter and she has several notes from him that she keeps close. He was a bright spot in her life. We are praying for your family during this difficult time.
There are no words...I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you.
Katie, family & friends-words cannot express what you are going through right now. I’m sorry for the loss of your son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin & friend. May time help you heal your hearts. All of you are in my prayers.
“But Jesus said,
Let the little children come to me and
do not try to stop them,
for the kingdom of heaven
belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
Losing you has hurt so bad. Your were a great Scout. I always refer to my Scouts as my boys. You were like a son to me. My God bless you and keep you in his arms. May you have the happiness you deserve.
As the first responding officer I again offer my deepest condolences. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
