    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sedillo family. Maxie was a heck of a golfer but even better Grandpa at the golf course. Always had his riding buddy with him. Deepest condolences and sympathies to his family and friends. May God bless you all right now during this difficult time.

  16. Esmaralda Olga Calderon

    I prayed for you regularly and lit candles for your health. God gave you as much time as He thought you needed. God was ready for you to go home even though your family was not ready to let you go. I know in my heart you are with God in Heaven and I am so happy for you. I know you will watch your loved ones from above. Until we meet again Maxie. Amen 🙏

  17. My condolences to the family. Maxie was a very special person with a heart bigger than he was. Maxie lived up the road from my parents in Axtell. During a time when my father passed away and my mother became ill we encountered a water leak at their home on Hwy 31. Maxie happened to be there during an estate sale and he didn’t hesitate to jump right in and start working on the water heater. I will never forget that and how kind Maxie was. I’m sure he’s doing the same kind and thoughtful deeds in heaven right now. There’s not many people that was as thoughtful and willing to help as he was. Maxie, you left a mark on my life and I’m sure others as well. Rest in peace friend, you are gone but I will always remember you.

    Thank you Maxie
