Maximilian Alexander Dooley, born on March 4, 2000, unexpectedly passed away on October 31, 2024. He was a cherished son, brother, and friend whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

He is survived by his loving mother, Robin Rena Dooley; father, William Derek Dooley; and older brother, Morgan Cole Dooley.

Max was preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, Kenneth Ray Dooley, and his aunt, Dedri Dooley Starkweather.

Max found joy in hiking, canoeing, biking, hunting, and fishing.
