Support for the Stimmler Family

On March 17, 2016, many lives were turned upside down by the sudden loss of a father, husband, son and member of our community, Max C. Stimmler.

Max was known and loved by many and his passing was sudden and unexpected. He leaves behind two sons and his wife of almost 20 years, Jessie.

Max's passing has  created a very big hole in a very tight knit, long rooted family. Many of us may not have seen him for sometime, but we ALL have a great story or 10 about Max and the way he has touched our lives.

Max grew up in the Elk River area, he was very active in basketball, football, and baseball during his high school years. School work always came very easy for Max and so he dedicated his time to being competitive in sports. Max graduated from Elk River High School in the class of 1995. He furthered his education by attending Brainerd Staples Technical College for Machinist Training.

He married Jessica “Jessie” Wilds on July 25, 1998 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Anoka. Max worked as a machinist for Mate Precision Tooling in Anoka; he always worked very hard to support his family. He was a handyman and could fix or build anything, usually in the company of his two sons. Max enjoyed pan fishing with his family on several area lakes. He was quiet, gentle, loving, and helping of others in need. Most importantly, Max was an amazing husband and father to his two sons and loved them beyond belief. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Let's help relieve some of the finacial burden on his family and create a little comfort for Jessie knowing she will be able to breathe.... just a little bit, as well as honoring Max by helping his family.
