elevated 9TMwI Obituary
elevated 9TMwI It is with profound sadness, but also with gratitude for a life that touched many, that we announce the passing of Maximus Fernandes at the age of 91.
elevated 9TMwI Maximus was predeceased by his beloved wife, Tina, his partner in life and love since their marriage in 1961. Together they built a large family whose roots continue to grow through the generations.
elevated 9TMwI He leaves behind his six children: Lorraine (Dave), Max Richard, Joanna (Luc), Sharon (Scott), Brenda and Derek, along with 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, some of whom are now married and have begun families of their own. Each of them, in their own way, carries forward his legacy of love, faith, and family traditions.
elevated 9TMwI Music was one of Maximus’s greatest gifts and lifelong passions. As a young man, he played the saxophone in a jazz band, sharing his love of music with audiences and friends alike. He possessed a remarkable natural talent and could pick up almost any instrument and play it by ear. Whether he was playing, singing, or dancing, music brought him joy and became one of the ways he connected with others throughout his life.
elevated 9TMwI His musical talent was shared generously with his community. He played at his church, entertained fellow residents in his retirement home, and never hesitated to perform whenever someone asked. His enthusiasm for music, along with his willingness to share it, brought comfort, happiness, and countless smiles to those around him.
elevated 9TMwI Faith was an important part of Maximus’s life. His church was more than a place of worship—it was a community where he found fellowship, purpose, and the opportunity to serve others through both his presence and his music.
elevated 9TMwI Maximus will also be remembered by his extended family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched over the years. His love of music, his enduring faith, and the memories he created with those around him will remain part of his lasting legacy.
elevated 9TMwI Though he has left this earthly life, his songs will continue to echo in the hearts of those who heard him play, and his memory will live on through the generations of family and friends who were part of his life’s journey.
elevated 9TMwI May he rest in eternal peace.
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of uncle Maxi. I never met him, but reading his obituary, especially about his music and his faith, made me wish I had.
My heartfelt condolences to all of you as you mourn his loss and celebrate his life.
Im so very saddened by this news but we need to rejoice in the fact that he is with his wife and family who passed before him. Hes at peace, we need to celebrate his life and legacy and not mourn his death.
My condolences to you and your family Joanne. It’s the heaviest when we lose our parents. Remember him and share him with others through your stories. Sympathies
