MAX
We lost our beautiful son Maxwell Ronald Tyeryar to suicide on January 29, 2022.
Max had completed his degree in Criminal Justice at East Carolina University and in August 2021 fulfilled his 6 year commitment of military service to his country with the U.S. Army National Guard.
During his time with the National Guard, Max was deployed to Kuwait serving there for 9 months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Max earned a Sergeant's ranking and received many service medals including the most distinguished Army Achievement Medal.
Max was a very kind and loving person uniquely humble with his many accomplishments throughout his young life.
Max cared deeply for others and had a gift to help everyone he knew feel better about themselves.
He always masked the true struggle that he was in. His positive attitude and sense of humor hid the real pain that was under his smile.
our PURPOSE
We are on a lifelong journey to survive losing Max to suicide. We honor his memory and legacy in the work we now do with Max Well For Life.
We're partnering with foundations dedicated to serving our veterans and community, providing help and preventing suicide through advocacy, research, education and support.
Our goal is to reach and help support those who struggle with their path in life along with the families and friends who have been impacted by the loss of a loved one through suicide.

1 Peter 5:10
"And after you have suffered a little while, then God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you"
In memory of Dave Caruso who inspired this charity to form.
There is now less laughter in our day, less laughter that fills the night,
Less laughter to find our way, always had a song in his heart, something kind to say.
He was just ahead of us all in this life and has now flown away.
We will see you in paradise one day.
And then we can laugh again.
