Honor the life of Max Martinez

Donation protected
Yesterday we lost the greatest soul any of us have ever known. Max was the definition of an incredible person; he had the ability to make light of every situation and was the happiest, most go-lucky person who never failed to bring positive energy. 

His personality, smile, and laugh were infectious. Anyone who ever spent more than 30 seconds with Max felt a deep bond of friendship and love for him.

There is no one who could brighten your day or do something to make you laugh better than Max. He was beloved by everyone. It was impossible to go anywhere with Max without everyone in the room trying to talk to him. 

Max brought an energy that I can confidently say, for everyone, is something that cannot be duplicated.

We will all miss Max for the rest of our lives, but we all have enough wonderful, funny, happy memories of him to last us multiple lifetimes. 

We want to donate this money to cover the funeral expenses for his family and any other cost that they may incur now or in the future such as his student loans or service expenses. We also want to use the rest of the proceeds to create memorials for Max such as a bench in Central Park and we are looking to partner up with Binghamton University to create a scholarship in his name to help out disadvantaged youths. We have been working with Mark Taylor, Max's step-father whom he very much loved and respected to make sure the funds are used properly. 

Max, we will love you forever, you touched all of us in ways that cannot be explained in words. 

Rest easy, beautiful soul.
