1957-2020
James Allan
“Max” Maxwell – passed away March 5, 2020 at the age of 62.
He lived all his life in Kentville, attended KCA and later Kings
Vocational School.
Max was a great baseball player in his youth, played
football, hockey and later slow pitch. His passions included the NY
Yankees, Pittsburgh Steelers, fly fishing, cottage life with family
and any kind of music-his favourite being John Prine. His sense of
humour was fantastic and he was very quick with a one liner and a huge
smile. Max’s kindness and huge heart was unmatched. Max was
past president and long-time member of the Kings County Commercial
Travellers Association and the Billiards Club. He served for many
years on the organizing committee for the Labour Day Oland Slow Pitch
Tournament. He worked in Kentville at the local bars for a number of
years, then at ACA Co-op, later Eden Valley Poultry where he recently
retired after 30 + years.
Max was predeceased by his parents, Shirley and Ronald
Maxwell; in-laws, Mary and Don MacKenzie; son-in-law, Colin MacAskill;
