This campaign is to help pay for funeral services for a beautiful 2 1/2-year-old. Maximus was diagnosed in North Carolina but was blessed enough to be able relocate to Arizona where he spent an entire year drenched with love by his family and friends. Maximus’s father, is an active duty soldier, while his mother, is a stay-at-home mom tending to all of Maximus's needs.


Maximus passed away on August 23rd, 2019. He was shown nothing but love in the short 2 1/2 years he blessed us with his presence. 


Maximus, was diagnosed with an extremely rare disorder/disease called Gm1 Gangliosidosis.


Gm1 Gangliosidosis is a rare neurological disorder that progressively destroys brain cells (brain and spinal cord). There are 3 types; Type 1 which is extremely severe and occurs in infants. Type 2 that occurs in toddlers. And type 3 that occurs in adulthood. All three types lead to seizures and eventually death. The types vary and depend on their age in which symptoms occur. Maximus had type 1. Life expectancy when signs occur can range between immediately to a few years. There are currently no cures for this disorder/disease.


In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to this gofundme account. Donations leftover from funeral expenses will be donated directly to the Cure GM1 Foundation. This will better assist in finding a cure so no other family will be left having to say goodbye to these special children. Thank you all.


We love you.
