He was a member of the Tribute to Fallen Soldiers Northwest, a group of highly passionate, patriotic, and caring people who ride their motorcycles each summer to honor and pay tribute to America's fallen service members. 

His love for family was evident in all aspects of his life. He is survived by his wife, Sharman Badesheim; his parents, Max Sr. and Janet Badesheim; his children and their spouses, Max III and Beth Badesheim, Jennifer Badesheim, Kevin and Monika Badesheim, Jackson and Heather Morgan, Ashley and Jane Talbert, and Roy and Susan Russell; his sisters Joyce Hodkins and Carol Badesheim; nephew Travis and Jackie Badesheim; many nieces, nephews and grandchildren.
