Such a faithful servant and man of God Who did his best here on Earth to take care of his family and others. A valiant fighter to the end. Thanks for your love & support for ~53 years. Max-the man- the legend... & Grandpa to my four kids. We'll miss you so! Carolyn

My parents, John (deceased) & Rosemary Jackson were longtime friends of both Max & Shirley from First Baptist Springfield. In fact, they informed my dad of a lakefront cabin on Table Rock that had come to market right next to theirs! And that was that, my family had their forever spot thanks to the Mustains! So many sunburnt summer memories shared with them! My dad & brother built their new, big, sleek metal dock. Shirley proudly tells the tale of watching my sister April catching her very first fish off our dock (after hours of persistence), & not knowing how to unhook it, ran all the way up the hillside, pole swinging fish, passing the Mustains picture windows, to my dad on the front porch all the while hooting and hollering! Years later April was married at the lake. The Mustains graciously offered their cabin for April’s impending in-laws. It allowed our families a special time to bond the days before the ceremony. And, of course, Shirley had it buffed and spit-shined to an absolute glow! As time does, things change. But now, following Max & Shirley, April’s keep watch over the lakeside teaching the next generations how a single fish can shape a life. When the Mustains sold, an era came to an end. So to, Friday closes Max’s era. Praise God his memories live on in each of us! Please share our love with Shirley from April, Jay, & Rosemary Jackson.

Our sincere condolences during this time of loss, prayers go forth for the family wishing you comfort and peace through your grief. May the Lord bless you.

Mama Shirley and Family, The love, knowledge, wisdom and hugs he showed each one of us will never be forgotten. We know your hearts ache right now and our hearts break too. We know that one day we will all see Max again. I will be forever grateful for having the honor of being in his presence. Max we love you. Mama we are praying for you.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
