Max was preceded in death by his parents, Reuben and Chessie Graham Miller; infant daughter; and several brothers and sisters. He served in the US Army during WWII, and was a retired carpenter. Max was a member of South Fork Baptist Church. His greatest love was his family and his most favorite pastime was sitting on his porch with his cats, watching the river and waving at everyone that passed his house. To honor his request, a private graveside service with military honors provided by American legion Post 130 and the Disabled American Veterans Post 90, will be scheduled. Max also requested, in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made toward a college fund for his two great-grandsons, Dakota and Daniel Norris, in care of Denny Norris, 190 Norris Trail, Boone, NC 28607.
