This is the year "Max became max!" He had to get his hair cut as a form of punishment for getting in trouble for going to juvie. He was the most gentle man with me and my family. He was super with my children. Max did a lot for everyone else but himself. He would get in trouble making sure everybody around him was ok.
!!! He never knew they wouldn't even repay him with not one letter while he was in prison. He died over 1000 miles away from home, and the nurse didn't even bring the bag to resuscitate him!?!? He could have lived but narcotics in the prison system killed him. It wasnt a heart attack. He had an overdose. His cellmate cried out to me and begged for someone to say something to someone because he could have been saved!!! But hes in a cage where he was thrown because of drugs. He needed rehabilitation from drugs, but was sentenced to 10 years Federal Penn. He died in his 8th. He did all that time and still it killed him. He was taken from his family and friends and forgotten about. And he did all that time so these poor ass people could eat, and they turned on him! Good Ol Port Orchard!!!
