Always the ham, Max was well known for his teasing and you could always tell because there was a twitch on the side of his jaw while he was trying to keep a straight face. His only sister was his favorite victim.
He truly enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and working out at the gym. Max loved his dogs and always had one around when he was growing up. Many weekends growing up were spent at Fort Peck Lake fishing and camping.
In school, he participated in football, track and boxing as well as band and choir. In 1986, while still in high school, he joined the Army National Guard. In 1987, he joined the US Navy. Max made a career out of the Navy, retiring in 2010 after having served many overseas missions and earning numerous medals. He worked in communications.
He loved to travel the world and would always bring home special gifts for his sister. Max was always there whenever his sister needed him, looking out for her.
While stationed in Germany, Max met and married LeAnn Gullroy. To this union, two children, Jordan Hagadone and Colton Hagadone, were born. He was especially close with his son, Colton, who looked just like him and has the same personality and ability to tease. Max and Colton spent a lot of time fishing and doing father/son things like going to baseball games and playing video games and just hanging out.
