Max was born on September 24, 1953 in Jayton, Texas to his parents, Anselmo and Juanita Ramos Martinez. He was a man of many talents he made his living as a welder and took pride in providing for his family.  He enjoyed spending time fishing, cruising, camping and cooking out.  He also was quite the musician who enjoyed singing and playing the guitar.   Max supported the Dallas Cowboys, despite wins or loses much like he did his family; he was your biggest fan regardless of triumph or tribulation.  He was a God-fearing man and a member of Grace Church, always keeping his faith strong. There was nothing he cherished more than his family and spending time together. To Max, his family was everything.
