Dee Dee and family,
So sorry to just now hear of Chris's passing from fellow associate John Hornberger. I remember his contagious laugh and funny stories from working with him at American Bank at the "main" office. Then I had the pleasure of working with you as well at Palma Sola. Oh the good ole' days. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. May God provide you comfort and strength.

I loved Chris Maxwell´s bible study. I learned so much about being A Disciple of Jesus. I also loved putting up Christmas Decorations with him. He also took us to Bullseye to shoot hand guns! Chris was a blast!
We also went to 3 Christian concerts. I will never forget him! I know there is a celebration in heaven !

The Matthew 11:28 in his obituary is the last verse he sent to me with his Jesus Calling devotion.

DeeDee, I am so sorry to hear about Chris. He was a great mentor and friend. I remember him taking me out back of the bank to show me the dance steps you guys learned. It made his day to show off his moves. He helped me with my position, Jr. Achievement, and always available as a friend. Love and hugs to you, Will and Kristi. I'm here if you need me.
