The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Maxence.

Dear Max,

I will cherish your warm smile and kind ability to always make everyone laugh and feel so welcome in and out of the gym. You were always there trying to “mog”everyone and you beat us 10/10 times (between us).

Max I loved how you wore the same stussy clothes everytime I saw you, I will continue to recollect memories when I walk in the gym and pretend to see you there working your hardest and pumping some iron. I will forever keep chasing your big shadow…

I will always continue to remember the guys all going away together to ocean grove and you pulled up on your motorbike and took the wrong turn off… or the time you tried to spit some rhymes on the microphone….. 😂

There’s so much more to say and wish I had more time with you. It is not goodbye but see you soon my brother.
I love you and I send my dearest condolences to your family ❤️

Love Xavier

Nos sincères condoléances 💔

Missing you a little extra today, I’m glad we could send you off in the way you deserved. You’ve left a void in our hearts that we can’t fill. We’ll keep living life to the fullest for you. I find comfort knowing that you are at peace now in the arms of the lord.
I wish you could have seen the room of people, whose lives you touched. Keep everyone on there toes up there ❤️
Love Steph ❤️

Sending our condolences; we are very sorry for your loss. We hope that you may be able to find peace and comfort in this difficult time.

Max,
We grew up side by side in Lebanon, and you were one of my bestfriends since kindergarten. You were always the one with the loud laugh, the big heart, and the kind of energy that pulled people in. I carry so many of our memories that I always bring up to this day to our lebanese friend group, and we always laugh about it and we would miss you so much due to distance and kept asking when you were coming back until you left us too soon. You were more than a friend. You were a brother. A piece of home no matter how far either of us went. Rest easy, my brother. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Brigitte,

Il n’existe pas de mots pour une telle douleur. J’ai appris avec une immense tristesse le départ de Maxence, si jeune, si aimé.

Je pense profondément à toi et à Maïa. Que l’amour autour de vous, aussi fragile soit-il en ce moment, vous soutienne un peu dans cette nuit.

"Son âme a rejoint la
lumière, mais son amour reste à vos côtés."

Puisse la paix doucement revenir, un souffle à la fois.

Mes très sincères condoléances.

Que dire de plus, c'est trop dur

Max,
Whenever I think of my childhood, of how fun it was , or even just school , your memory always comes up in almost every moment.
For some reason, the memories that play on a loop in my mind are the ones where we’d do the anything in class just to find new ways to not listen to the teachers.

You were always full of energy, always positive, the kind of person who made everyone feel better just by being around.

Then you had to travel, and like it does to many friendships, distance pulled us apart.
I wish I had reached out when I had the chance.

May your soul rest in peace, Max.
You made childhood brighter for all of us.

My deepest condolences Brigitte, Maïa and the entire family i'm sure that he'll be watching over you always

Max,

Will miss coming into the gym and seeing that goofy smile, the patented “yooooooo”, that crisp handshake and most of all, that big warm, friendly hug.

You have had a profound impact on myriad lives for an even larger myriad reasons.

I hope and trust that you’ve found peace. May the burden of the suffering and pain you carried with you for an innumerable period be released.

We will all carry on your legacy; whether that be through achieving fitness goals, decreasing our golf handicaps, or simply just remembering to strive to light up any room, gym or golf course — just as you did.

Rest in Peace brother.

Cam

Max you were such a beautiful addition to our expat family xx totally loved by us all. Be in peace darling you will always be in our hearts forever x

Max,
You weren’t just our childhood friend, you were my whole childhood.
Behind every mischief was that radiant smile we just couldn’t say no to.
Breaking lightbulbs every time we played chambre noire, and the laughter that followed, will always be one of my most cherished memories.
As I write this, your contagious laugh keeps echoing in my mind, making me miss you even more.
You truly were that small ball of sunshine who brought joy, fun, and life into every moment.

Reading all the messages about you, I couldn’t agree more:
You were the most loving and genuine person I’ve ever known.
That’s exactly how I will always remember you.
I’ll never forget your bear hugs, they weren’t just hugs; they were your way of saying that you’ll always protect me.
And that’s what I’ll miss the most.
But I know that even from where you are now, you’ll keep watching over us, your family and your friends, just like you always did.

Brigitte and Maia, I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
You’ve gained the best guardian angel anyone could ever ask for.
Max, you’ll be missed, my brother. I love you so much❤️

It is with great sadness that I remember Max a bright and kind young boy whose life was tragically cut short. I first met him when he was about 13, and even then, it was clear he was someone special, full of promise with a lot to offer the world. His passing is deeply shocking and heart breaking. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. May his memory always be a blessing.

Max still I’m so lost for words and what to write, but one thing I do know is the world lost someone who was nothing but an angel, someone who would always be up for a chat a young man wanting the best for everybody. Max saying we miss you is an understatement, it’s not just you it’s the company the laughs but most importantly your presence, I know your soul is still around making sure everyone is okay, we love you max it’s not goodbye but see you soon. ❤️

May you find on the other side, over the rainbow, what you were looking for here and couldn't find ...
forever in our hearts, until we meet again beloved Max❤️

Dearest Max, we met you briefly when you were at our home happily celebrating with our kids Suraiya and Joshua. All your goodness and beauty we hear of through them and see in the photos of those happy times, will shine in our memories. Words will never quite describe our family's heartbreak at your passing. We pray and ask, for your sweet soul to be in peace as you rest in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father God. For loving comfort always over your family and friends, left behind with a void that cannot be filled. Until we meet again. Amen.
With love from Josh, Suraiya, Ansar & Gloria. 24/06/2025

Max my brother I still remember all of the dumb stuff we would do and say on the regular, the nights we spent just playing and laughing, I remember the silly little arguments that would escalate so far we forgot what we were talking about, may your soul rest in peace my brother your memory will live within all of us don’t you worry about that.

Such fond memories of Max in my art classes at HCC. Always contributing, sometimes questioning and very creative.Max, you were and will always be long remembered, so sad to let you go. Trusting you now have peace and are secure in the presence of Jesus.

Sorry to hear about the sudden loss of young Max. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers to all the family. May his soul RIP.

"Le miroir s'est brisé, mais son reflet persiste dans nos âmes. Nous ne voyons plus son visage, mais nous ressentons sa présence. Il est toujours là, dans chaque souvenir, dans chaque instant partagé."

Te voilà maintenant parmi les étoiles, tu habites dans l’une d’elles, nous aurons chaque fois une pensée pour toi lorsque nous regarderons le ciel.

Nos plus sincères condoléances à toute la famille, nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous.

We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Maxence, a handsome and kind young man, full of promise, whose life ended far too soon at just 21 years old.

We were heartbroken to hear the tragic loss. May he rest in peace. May your memories bring you solace during this difficult time.

Gone too soon, but forever in our hearts. 🤍

Max, you’ve always felt like a little brother to me. I’ll always remember the days we all played together, even if it sometimes ended with Maia and me teaming up against you and Raph. Thank you for being my brother’s best friend when we were kids, and thank you for being Maia’s brother. Even though I didn’t really get the chance to know you as a young man, I’ll always cherish the memories I have with you and always think of you as the sweet boy you were. I hope you can feel all the love being sent your way. Rest in peace, Max.

Chères Brigitte, Maïa, Cécile,
C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous avons appris le décès de Maxence. Il n'y a pas de mot pour exprimer une telle détresse. Puissiez-vous trouver la force et le courage de faire face à une telle perte. Maxence✨restera comme une étoile dans notre cœur à tous et dans le ciel au-dessus de nous. Profondément et de tout cœur, Sophie, Colin, Ludo & Oskar

Mi querido Maxence,
Tu as quitté trop tôt ce monde. Je revois encore ta joie de vivre en classe, ton dynamisme, ta générosité de coeur…
Bon voyage dans un monde certes meilleur! Tu nous manques déjà!
Te queremos mucho Max🩷

He carried the sun inside him, and now the world feels colder.
There is a silence now that wasn’t there before, a stillness where his laughter used to live.
I can’t begin to grasp the weight of your sorrow,
but please know that my heart is with you,
tenderly, constantly, in every unspoken word.

With all my love to you Brigitte and Maya.

Im still in shock & my heart aches when I heard about Max. Mike, Maya I know the pain of losing our loved ones but you need to be strong.
Our condolences to your family, Max will be deeply missed forever. May almighty father grant his soul eternal peace.

I was devastated upon hearing this very sad news. You are like a son to me , i took care of you since you were born. You will be dearly missed, my Max . Rest in peace now. I love you very much ❤️

I still remember seeing you from the time you were held in your mother’s arms—so small, so full of promise. You were always a pleasure to be around, and we’ve always considered you one of our own.

It’s with deep sadness that we face the reality of your life being cut so short, so suddenly. The loss is heartbreaking, and you will be deeply missed—not just for who you were, but for all the memories we had yet to make with you.

Rest in peace, Max.

Toutes mes pensées vous accompagnent dans ces moments difficiles..

Chère Brigitte,
Puosse la Sainte Vierge Marie dont l'ame a élle aussi été transpercé par la mort si douloureuse et si mystérieuse de Son Fils... puisse ce Coeur Immaculée de Mère, à la fois la vôtre et celle de Maxence, vous apporter un coeur dans lequel vous réfugier. Que le Seigneur accueille Maxence dans son Royaume. Mes sincères condoléances. +Frere Brice Di Dio

For Max

Sunny and I are very sad to hear about Max.

During the years we were living in Oman, he became a part of our lives. We have some great memories — camping at Seifa beach, driving across the desert, and spending time together in Koh Chang and Phuket. We also celebrated birthdays and Christmases together in Oman.

We’ll always remember Max as bright, happy, and inquisitive — always curious and thoughtful.

Our thoughts are with Dr. Mike and Maia. We’re so sorry for your loss. Sunny and I are thinking of you both and sending our love.

Rest in peace, Max.

Mark & Sunny

Nos sincères condoléances à toi Brigitte, ainsi qu'à ta maman et à Maia, pour la perte de Maxence, ce beau jeune homme, dont tu étais si fière, et qui nous avait charmés à Bruxelles par sa prestance et sa gentillesse. Les mots paraissent dérisoires face au choc énorme de sa disparition soudaine. Nous t'exprimons notre soutien dans cette terrible épreuve. Aujourd'hui ton chagrin est immense mais nous formons l'espoir que tu puisses un jour te sentir apaisée, sachant qu'il repose en paix là où il est maintenant. Toutes nos affectueuses pensées à toi et les tiens.

Our dearest Michael Brigitte and Maia Aunty Ellen ,
“Those whom we love and lose may mot be where they were before , they will always be with us wherever we are “
St John Chrysostom
Maxence will be with forever be with each one of you ! Rest in peace son in Jesus’ loving care!
Sending my love and condolences - remember being there for your baptism and though I’m not going to be there as you are laid to rest I’m so glad I got an opportunity to assist you all in preparing his funeral service ! Sending hugs !

My deepest condolence to the family and loved ones. Max, I met you when I came to Oman since 2006. You were a baby and watch you grow up with your sister, Maia, Mum & Dad. So many wonderful memories of your family. Your family loved you unconditionally. You are precious. You grew up so fast into a handsome young man. I remember the last time I saw you was when we put up the Christmas tree together. You will be missed. Rest in eternal peace. May God comfort your family and loved ones.

Maxence, I will forever remember your energy, your kindness, your tenderness, and your beautiful smile.
I had the chance to spend quite a few moments with you and especially watch you grow up for a while, hanging out with my little brother and little cousin, and you were already at the time, an amazing boy that grew into an amazing man. You have a wonderful mother and sister, and they love you so deeply. They were, and always will be, incredibly proud of you.
Courage Brigitte et Maia.
Your pain is beyond words, but so is the strength and love you carry. Maxence left a mark on everyone he came across and everyone who was close to him. His presence, his light, and his love stay will forever remain. He will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy for this devastating loss,
May his soul rest in heavenly peace with our Almighty Father 🙏

Thinking of you all and sending lots of love and prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️

Maxence, we met back in school as kids and quickly became close. Whether we were hanging out after class or out enjoying life, those moments turned into memories I’ll always hold onto. You had a way of making people feel at ease, always fun to be around, always genuine.

It’s heartbreaking to hear you’re gone.

My deepest condolences to your family. I hope they find comfort in knowing how many people were lucky to have known you.

Rest in peace Max. You’ll always be remembered. ❤️

Rest in peace Maxence🤍
Brigitte may you and your loved ones find solace in the love and memories you shared with Maxence❤️

Thank you for all the beautiful memories we shared. You are family to us. May you rest in eternal peace with our Almighty Father.

We love you Max, forever in our hearts. ❤️

C’est une tristesse incommensurable 😓. Une maigre consolation, mais consolation quand même, est qu’il est maintenant en paix. Je vous souhaite tout le courage pour puiser dans vos souvenirs la force nécessaire pour surmonter cette terrible épreuve.
Je suis de tout cœur avec vous.

If time could turn back just once, I’d choose this exact moment . nothing else comes close.

A small message to my brother in spirit

Max, you were more than just my childhood friend. You were my brother the one I could always count on to turn a quiet day into total chaos.

We pulled off the wildest stunts. Diving into pools like maniacs, staying up way too late talking and laughing until our stomachs hurt, raiding the fridge like it was a mission and honestly , i still don’t know how we didn’t get grounded forever.

You always had that spark that look that said “let’s do it” even before the idea was fully formed. And somehow, you made every crazy moment feel like the best one yet.

I miss you, man. The world feels quieter without you… but I just know you’re already causing some kind of beautiful trouble wherever you are.

Save me a spot but don’t behave too well while you’re waiting. We’ve still got some mischief left to do.

Love you bro , you'll always have a soft spot in my heart ❤️.

Chère Brigitte,
Il n’existe pas de mot assez vaste pour contenir la douleur d’une mère — la perte de Maxence est une blessure que le temps n’efface pas.
Mais dans le silence du chagrin, que l’amour qu’il a semé continue de fleurir en toi.
Je t’enlace avec toute la tendresse que la vie m’a apprise.

I have no more words to say. May your soul rest in peace son. We will miss you.

Max, you were a soul full of life, love, and joy. I’ll always carry the memories you left etched deep in our hearts those wild nights staying up until 6am, running around Ashrafieh, making up stories for our parents when we were just 12. No words could ever capture how much I miss you already. My heart aches thinking of the pain your mom, sister and family must be feeling. You’ll always stay close to us it’s not goodbye, because now you’re with us more than ever. I’ll love you forever, brother.

Our beloved Maxence

May the Road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warmly upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again may GOD hold you in the hollow of his hand
- Ireland

We will always miss your bear hugs, your warmth and affection.
It will take more than TIME to fill the VOID you've left behind.
You will be DEARLY missed, FONDLY remembered and ALWAYS loved.

Yours in Grief,
Geoffrey, Jordan Dale & Karen
(Uncle, Cousin & Aunt)

My deepest condolences Michael, Brigitte and Maia
Words can’t express how sorry we are for your loss
Max is in our thoughts and prayers

Maxou, j'ai été extrêmement attristée et choquée par ton départ. Tu as laissé de magnifiques traces à un si jeune âge.
Je t'ai connu quand tu avais 8-9 ans. Je n'oublierai jamais ta bouille craquante d'alors qui me faisait littéralement fondre, ton regard espiègle, ton air malicieux, ta gentillesse, ta politesse, et j'en passe.
Je pense beaucoup à ta maman qui a fait tout ce qu'elle pouvait et plus pour toi et Maia. Je pense à Maia dont tu étais proche, à ta grany qui a été là pour toi et ta soeur et bien sûr à ton papa.
Tu t'en es allé vers les bras du Seigneur, là où tout est paix et amour. You're already missed habibi Maxou. Repose en paix.

My deepest sympathies to Michael, Brigitte and Maia...you are in my thoughts and prayers

I’ll always remember you as the energetic, smiley, and incredibly smart little boy. Thank you for making my childhood so memorable. Those were the best years of my life, and I’m so grateful I got to share them with you. You will always be part of the crew. I know you’re an angel now, watching over your family. You were so loved Max, and you’ll never be forgotten. ❤️

You will always be in our hearts Max. You are now at peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Love the Lisbon family

Rest in peace Maxence❤️

I will always remember Maxence as that energetic, smiling boy full of life.
He was someone you simply couldn’t be around without laughing or having a good time.
A loyal friend you could count on, even in the most complicated moments.

I truly believe he is in a better place now.
He will forever remain in our hearts.
Rest in peace, dear Maxence.❤️🙏🏻

Je garde le souvenir d'un ami qui n'a jamais fait de mal à personne. Repose en paix, cher Maxence.

Max, thank you, for everything.
For teaching me about life, about fitness, and about the power of being unapologetically yourself.
Your endless jokes, your smile, and the brotherhood you shared always lit up my day, even when the days weren’t great.

No words could ever truly capture the impact you had on me, or on everyone lucky enough to know you.
No sentence could ever do justice to the light you’ve left behind.

From this day forward, I’ll carry you with me, as a friend, a mentor, and a brother.
You were an incredible person, and I’m forever grateful for the honour of calling you a friend.

I’ll always miss you. I’ll never forget you.
Until we meet again, Maxy, I love you.

Max, I’m so grateful to have met you. The more I reminisce about our memories together, the more endless they seem. From our time at school to our hangouts at my place, I have nothing but beautiful moments to look back on, ones I will cherish for the rest of my life.

You were someone I could share everything with, my happiness, which would infect you with excitement, and my sadness, which you would help me carry. You truly had a heart of gold. You were the most genuine and compassionate person I’ve ever met, and to me, you’ve always shone like a star. You’ve always held a special place in my heart, brother.

I still can’t believe you’ve left us. Everything around me reminds me of you. Not a moment goes by without you in my thoughts. I just want to see you again.

I offer my deepest condolences to your family. My heart goes out to them during this unimaginable time.

May your soul rest in peace, Max, my brother.

From sleepless nights at my place to running to class to get your inhaler, everywhere at school, you couldn't say Luca without Max. I miss these simpler days so much and I wish we had more time to make more memories. Distance is a friendship's biggest enemy but I never forgot the brothers we were. Stake3, football, music, LaMarina, finding out if we were in the class after summer break, everything I ever experienced, you were there with me. I'll never forget you Max, we miss you already.

Brigitte, Maia, and Grany, my deepest condolences for your loss, you have an amazing angel in the sky, I hope to see you very soon and give you all a huge hug.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Maxence.
Maxence is in my prayers, thinking of our family during this difficult time.

Mon très cher Maxou, je suis si fière de t'avoir connu, de t'avoir vu grandir auprès de moi, d'avoir eu la chance de partager avec toi des moments magnifiques, heureux...je n'arrêterai jamais de dire quel adorable garçon tu es, serviable, doux, aimable...tu es un jeune homme à présent, je continuerai de t'aimer pour toujours. Mon Maxou tu seras gravé dans mon coeur à jamais. J'envoie le peu de force qui me reste à ta Grany qui ne t'a pas laché d'un seul pouce dans ta vie, à ta maman Brigitte qui s'est pliée en mille pour ton éducation et ton bien-être ainsi que pour ta soeur Maïa qui a vécu avec toi en symbiose. Vole, vole petit Ange vole vers ton ami Marco, qui t'accueillera à bras ouverts, le frère de ton Luca et de ta Adriana adorés. Pour moi tu ne nous quittes point, tu voyages seulement dans le meilleur des mondes, où la souffrance, la méchanceté, l'hypocrisie n'existent pas, où seulement l'Amour règne. Tu restes tout de même auprès de nous pour l'éternité. Veille sur nous tous mon Amour, mon Maxou.❤️🙏🏻

So young, so pure, with so much promise ….
Words cannot express our feelings of loss and deep sadness.
RIP Max
