He met Eveline Nash in 1960 and they married in 1961. The family moved to Dauphin in 1976, and then to Winnipeg in 1977, where he continued to work for CN, later transferring to Kooistra Trucking until his retirement.
Max is survived by his wife Eveline of 63 years, children, Craig, Brian and Tanis (Mike), grandchildren, Hayden, Kendra and Sara, sister-in law Muriel Lowe, brother-in-law Richard Nash (Betty), and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his mother Martha, father Peter, sister Mary, nephew Gary, mother-in-law Nellie Nash, father-in-law Harold Nash, and brothers-in-law, Harry Pfeifer, Roland Nash, and Dave Lowe.
Retirement years were spent with family, travelling with his wife Eveline, volunteering, wood working projects, and golfing.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to all the staff at Grace Hospital that cared for Max during his brief stay.

My heart goes out to you all. I'm so sorry for your loss. Max was a wonderful person, always with a ready smile. He was a good friend to my parents. In my mind's eye he looks just as he did the last time we saw him in 1993. My thoughts are with you. May your many, many wonderful memories give you comfort. - Posted by: Joanne Kembel Gee (Friend) on: Jan 28, 2025

To Eveline, Craig, Brian, Tanis and families. Very sad for all of you dealing with the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. Max will be missed by each of us in our own way. We would like very much to be at the service this Sunday but in view of a 27 hour flight including a 9 hour plane change in Vancouver we have regrettably decided to not attend. Give each of you a big hug and remember the happy times. - Posted by: Rich & Betty Nash (brother-in-law & sister -in-law) on: Jan 22, 2025

My condolences to Evline and family. I met Max through the Kinsmen Club in The Pas during the 60's He was always a good humour guy and a sincere contributor to Kinsmen work parties and administration responsibilities. Max was a member of our District Executive committee in 68/69 . We jokingly referred to him as "Max the Bookey" I'm glad to have known you Max --rest in peace . - Posted by: ( TED) scoles (friend) on: Jan 20, 2025
