Our Friend MAX Has Passed Away

**chefcraig** · 06-10-2011, 12:40 PM

It is with a heavy and broken heart I announce to you folks that our dear friend MAX passed away this morning after a lengthy and mighty battle with brain cancer. On June 4 of last year, he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a horrible and devastatingly aggressive tumor. After several surgeries and some ghastly dialysis (which left him confused and barely able to reason at times), it was determined recently that there was nothing more his doctors could do for him.

This matter has been kept relatively quiet by his family, out of regard for their privacy. MAX was my first and perhaps truest friend in cyberspace, a man who freely and willingly gave of himself when my own family was in a time of terrific crisis, never asking for a damned thing in return.

That's the kind of fellow he was: An at times unhinged, certifiable lunatic, a genuinely sweet guy to all who knew him and a bighearted, generous and dependable friend. We are all a little bit better off for having known him, and equally lessened by his passing.

Farewell Jeremy. You will indeed be missed.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing MAX, but judging from Craig's glowing assessment of his character, I missed knowing a truly good person.

My condolences to all of you who knew him and to his family.

This stinks.

RIP to MAX his family and friends.

I'm thinking of (re)naming a forum after him.

I also have a feeler out to do something else.

Jeremy loved all sorts of music, but for some reason he really had a thing for some of those cheesy pop singles of the seventies and early eighties. Perhaps renaming either the 70s AM Radio or MTV Early Days threads, or even renaming the 1970s or 1980s forums could be possible ideas.

This is sad news. MAX seemed like a cool cat.

RIP

I have hoped and wished and prayed like crazy every day for a year that he would beat this thing. Such a sad and rotten day.

So sad. R.I.P. Max. You will be missed.

Anybody remember that avatar of him in his pink boxers? How many guys would wear that, let alone share a pic of themselves in them with the world? And the silly yet adorable vocabulary he and Deej shared? Gosh, the guy could get so riled up, but you couldn't help but smile when reading about it, he was so freakin' witty. One of a kind, that dude.

**ceenew** · 06-10-2011, 10:10 PM

Sad. Very sad. RIP.
