"Jane, Ken, family and friends, Our heart ached when we learned of Max's death. He was such a fine young man and we enjoyed any chance encounter with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Kirk and Maribeth Malnor"
Maxwell Anthony Miller
June 11, 1987- July 26, 2019
Our beloved Maxwell left this earth unexpectedly due to heart failure. Sweet, sensitive, adventurous, kind, thoughtful son of Ken and Jayne; protective big bro- bro of Lauren (Michael) Pomaranski; soulmate of fiancée Danni Moody, their dog, Iggy; and amazing friend and family member.
We celebrate Maxwell, his zest for life, his contagious smile and laugh, his ability to engage with anyone and light up every room he walked into. Our broken hearts cannot fathom hosting a funeral at present. Please make a contribution in Max's name to a charity of your choice.

"To say we did a lot of real estate transactions together would be an understatement, but Maxwell was so much more than that to me. He was a true friend and someone that I looked up to and admired both personally and professionally. I admired his work ethic, his confidence, his swagger, and most of all, his loyalty. We came up in the real estate business together and helped each other grow and have success. We talked on a weekly basis for the last 5 years, and I still can't believe he is gone. I wish I could call him this week and hear his classic answer, "What's up Big Dog!" I will miss his positive attitude, his smile, our inside jokes, his hilarious text messages, his generosity, and so much more! We were boys, Maxwell Anthony Miller, and to me, you were the "Big Dog". Until we meet again, RIP my brother! My deepest condolences to Maxwell's family and fiancee, Danni!"
"My condolences to the family. A beautiful life lost too soon. Max was such a delightful person to know and work with. He will be missed by many. May the memories you hold bring you joy in this difficult time. "
"Sorry for your loss. Lucy Weir"
"The way Maxwell imprinted on the hearts of each individual he come into contact with is something so very special, irreplaceable in so many ways. He always brighten my days. The way he illuminated the life and love is beyond anything I?ve even felt or seen before. Maxwell had the ability to light up the room and warm our hearts! Beloved by all, he is a seed of greatness touching the core of all who was blessed enough to know him. Leaving us with love, kindness and standard to look up too and live by. He truly left bulbs for others to grow. He lived with the beauty of a flower always in bloom. Max will always live on as he himself left the imprint of an extraordinary being on my heart. To the Miller family, I hold you in the highest regards for raising such a brilliant human being. If words could explain how precious Maxwell is to all of us. I honestly think the world would be complete. "
"Kenny I am so saddened to hear about Max. I remember him as a cute and sweet young boy. My heart goes out to you and Jayne and Lauren. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Lynn Dempsey Ulrich"
"Maxwell was the brother I never had. We met right after my sister died in 2011, and we became very close. I?ve never met a more driven, caring, compassionate man in my life. Max loved his friends and family unconditionally, something that is increasingly rare in this day and age. He was very proud of his work at Veridian, and wrote so much in a beautiful Facebook post. I?ve never had a friend who spoke so highly of his parents the way Max did. He had tremendous respect for them both. I?ve never seen two people more in love than him and Danni. What they had was truly one in a million. He died a very happy man, and I thank Danni for that. I miss you brother. I hope your with my mom and sister right now watching over us. Clay Rogers "
"So sorry to hear of the loss of Maxwell. He was a respected Realtor within our industry. My thoughts and prayers are with his fiance, family, friends and the Veridian family."
"When I met Max I knew he was special. Getting to know him, had me realize he is truly one of a kind. Love you Max."
"You were the cutest little neighborhood boy! I am so sad for this loss. You grew up with my kids and they all adored you. You will be remembered and missed by our family. My deepest sympathies to Ken, Jane and Lauren. Pamela Jahn"
"My condolences to Max's family + friends. I know many of you personally and I can not imagine what you are going thru. Hang in there. Max instantly became my friend at the beginning of high school when we both were struggling to figure out who we were and what ?group? we fit in. Funny enough, neither of us ever belonged to a ?group.? It didn?t matter though ? Max?s outgoing, effervescent personality was magnetic, and he was friends with everyone. Max was unapologetically himself and he truly marched to the beat of his own drum. His passion and love for life was infectious as his friend and teammate. He once wrote me a postcard from Africa ? in big bold capital letters it said, ?WHAT UP? FROM AFRICA!!!? I held onto this post card for 10+ years because it captured so perfectly who he was. I?m sad to say we went our separate ways after high school, but I knew who Max was at his core. I had hopes of reconnecting with Max again someday and sharing the postcard with him, and the reasons why I held onto it for so long. Max ? Thank you for being my friend and sharing your view of the world. Parts of you make me who I am today. We miss you buddy. "
"My husband and I had only known Maxwell for a short period, but the impact he had on our lives went so far beyond that. In the time he touched our lives, he reminded me of all that is good and positive and right about the world. He taught me that when people come together with deep caring and commitment, what seems impossible becomes possible. He showed me that one individual can and does make a profound difference in the lives of others; that how we treat each other matters so very much. He made me want to be a better person. Maxwell Miller, you will be dearly missed and I can only hope that the beautiful light you shone on us while here on earth, will continue to shine forth from wherever your spirit rests now. ~ Tania Richley"
