Max lived in Homewood his entire life.  He attended local public schools and also homeschooled for several years.  He was currently registered at Prairie State College and attending classes full-time.  In Homewood, he was active in basketball at St. Joseph's Church for several seasons and played baseball at Izaak Walton.  Max also played baseball for the Hammond Hermits for several seasons and was on the HF baseball team during his sophomore year.  Max had recently started working and was saving for a car.  He was thoughtful in so many ways and had a quiet, and smart sense of humor.  So many people were touched by his presence and are deeply feeling his loss.
