Among other things, Maximus loved to paint rocks. It was yet another way he would bring color and joy into the world. In his memory, a beautiful memorial has formed where he lies. An ever-growing collection of painted rocks from friends and family the world over. It is an amazing symbol of love and a great source of strength for our family. Most importantly, it is something we know would bring a coy smile to his beautiful face. 

We would love for you to paint one too. We will send you a rock from Egypt Beach, here in Scituate, or feel free to use one of your choosing. No rules. No pressure. No rush. Just whenever you think of Max and feel like it, pick it up and paint. when you’re done, simply write sign your name or leave a message on the back of the rock, and drop it in the mail. And as always, thank you.

Leave a memory

Maximus was special. We continue to hear stories from so many whose lives he touched in his all-too-short life. We miss him terribly but are comforted by the thought that through his fund, we can help other children in our community access that same passion for the arts that Max had found. In that way, he will continue to impact and enrich the lives of others. Something we know would be sure to bring a smile to his face. If you have a memory of Maximus, please send us a message. We would love to hear from you.
