Max Lamont Thomas 71, passed away on October 27, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Max was born February 19, 1953, in Malad City, Idaho to Samuel and Maureen Thomas. Max grew up and graduated high school in Buena Park, California. He was a fun-loving guy...he loved his family, friends, music, sports, and the outdoors. He loved living in Idaho. He could name any flying, crawling or walking animal that would cross his path. He owned dogs (or maybe they owned him) and Max was a kind and caring dog owner. He once rescued a desert tortoise in 1980 from a California highway and Jess (the tortoise is still thriving today). He has attended hundreds of concerts in the 70’s.

In 1979 he married his first wife Susan, at the Malad courthouse lawn and celebrated at the Chat n Chew. He could play the guitar and carry a tune very well.

Max also played on adult softball leagues throughout the years. In 1981 his team won the championship in Chino, California. 

One of his most memorable experiences was when he took his wife Lisa to one of many rock concerts. He loved to buy her many things with what little he had. He would gladly give you the shirt off his back. He loved to tell stories of his life and escapades.

Max is survived by his loving wife Lisa, two children Derek and Whitney, his sister Annette, and brother Mark. Along with lots of nieces and nephews. 

Funeral Services were held on Wednesday October 30, 2024.
