It is with a heavy heart that I must share the news of the passing of Max Mulkey on March 19th at the age of 23, a dear friend, great competitor and one of the finest young men I have ever had the privilege to know. Max, his father Garth, my son Grant and I shared many great days at the track, and their friendship and our shared experiences are times we will cherish and hold in our hearts the rest of our lives.
While a fierce and talented competitor on track, participating in both World Formula Jr. and later Rotax classes, off track Max was the most unassuming, kind and ego free person you can imagine. Always with an easy smile, great sense of humor and willingness to do anything to help another, as I'm sure all that knew him will readily testify.
For those that knew Max, and would like to share in a celebration of his life, a memorial service will be held at 11:00AM, Saturday, March 23rd at the Monmouth Christian Church, 959 Church Street W., Monmouth, Oregon.
Sincerest condolences to the Mulkey family and friends.
