Mr. Max Deese
USMC Vietnam Veteran
Sunday, November 1, 2009
Marianna, Florida
The wife of a local businessman and Vietnam Veteran Max Deese has requested PGR be present for her husband’s funeral to be held this coming Sunday. Max passed away in the V.A. Hospital at Gainesville on October 27, 2009.
Max was born in Auburndale and has lived in Marianna for the past 20 years. He was owner of The Band Music Store in Marianna. He acted as coach at the M.E.R.E. Complex in both flag football and baseball. Many children from Houston and Dale Counties in Alabama also benefited from Max’s generosity. Max stood for us and now it time for us to stand for him.
We will stand our flag line at the Christian Center Church from 3:00 - 4:00 pm and provide an escort the mile and a half to the Pinecrest Cemetery, Marianna, FL. at the conclusion of services.. There will be a military honor detail and please bring your bike flags.

Karon and I would like to offer our most sincere condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Max Deese USMC.
Please rest assured that Max has now reported to his new duty station and, as the last verse of the Marine Corps Hymn says, is now "Guarding The Streets of Heaven".
“If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States
Marines”.
Rest well my brother Marine.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Max Deese ,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?"

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of
Max Deese, USMC, Vietnam Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Max.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
