He was born on December 26, 1937 and grew up playing baseball. In fact, he received an athletic scholarship to play baseball at the University of Mississippi for the Ole Miss Rebels.

Max retired from his own auto upholstery business. In his free time, he enjoyed playing golf and was an avid Ole Miss fan.
