Max L. Denison, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 23rd, 2025 at the age of 87. Born on April 30th, 1937, in Spokane, Washington, Max grew up with his older brother Dean and older sister Dawn in the Emerson- Garfield neighborhood west of Monroe Street. He attended North Central High School, graduating in 1956. A machinist by profession, Max was also an entrepreneur, mechanic, painter, and inventor. He was very creative and could build, or paint, anything that he put his mind to. But one of his true loves was restoring classic cars and some that were considered not so "classic." He also loved history, music, singing, and had a great sense of humor. He would often sing silly songs from fairy tales and nursery rhymes to his children, even when they were adults.
Max is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy, his children Norah, Maureen, Linda, and Michael, his grandchildren Lindsey, Kyle, Rick, Owen, and Patrick, and his great grandchildren Luke and Jameson. He worked very hard his entire life and loved his family more than anything. He was an outstanding example for his children and provided them with love and guidance that greatly impacted the course of their lives.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, May 9th 2025 at 12:30pm at the Riverside Memorial Park, Geranium Lawn, on 508 N. Government Way in Spokane, WA.
