Max Slimp Jr Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

It is with a heavy heart that the family has announced that Max E. Slimp Jr, 65, of Winter Park, Florida passed away on February 12, 2022. He was born on May 17, 1956, in Mare Island, California. Today he is celebrating his birthday in heaven! Max is survived by his wife, Cherie Lynne Slimp; mother, Martha Slimp; brother, Larry Slimp; and sister, Gina Slimp. He is also survived by his Father-In-Law, Patrick E. Pasley. His Mother-In-Law, Corinne (Kitty) M. Pasley died on June 1, 2019. Max had a good heart for helping people. He also had a passion for the ocean, and he made his connection through swimming, surfing, diving and sailing. He was certified as a nitrox scuba diver in Colorado. Max has always loved the ocean and being in the water, growing up in the Los Angeles area. When he attended Paul Revere Middle School, he participated in track, running, and even winning medals. When he attended high school, he even outran O.J. Simpson's record. In Los Angeles, he met the love of his life and he followed her out to Colorado. In Colorado, his first job was pouring foundations. He loved being outdoors. He owned his own framing company and built his home in 5 months. He married Cherie on September 11, 1993. In all the 29 years, he never forgot his wedding date. Max missed the ocean, so he headed to South Lake Tahoe, California and landed a construction job building homes in the mountains. After suffering some physical issues, he got a Manager position at a car wash in Tahoe and loved it. Cherie and Max resided in Lake Tahoe until August 2021. In August, Max took Bear, his little dude, to Oregon to join his friend for a couple of months. He wanted to have his family together so he traveled to Florida in November 2021, in hopes to help Cherie's elderly Father with the house. Max suffered from injuries from a broken arm (in Oregon) and dislocated shoulder (Florida) and later he contracted several precancerous diseases, which impacted his heart. He succumbed to these issues on February 12, 2022. May Max be cradled by his maker and Rest In Peace...We love you and will see you someday! The family was provided a wonderful video honoring Max's life. Please view: https://vimeo.com/677453685
