Take A Moment For Max

Max "The Fish" Hawkins died sometime during the late evening or early morning of May 16, 2006 at (or around) the age of 3 in a tank ventilation accident at his home in Brownsburg, Indiana. Max was purchased by Bret and Erin Hawkins and is preceded in death by his loving tank-mate, Erma. Max was a colorful, spritely blue beta who touched the hearts of everyone he came into contact with (although when you came into contact with Max, he was generally flipping and thrashing about...contact wasn't necessarily enjoyable for Max). He lived his entire life in Brownsburg, even choosing to vacation at the home of Erin's parents on occasion. Max was a a good friend to the Hawkins family, and he served as a much needed distraction while we await our adopted daughter. He will be missed. Services will be held this afternoon approximately two feet over the bowl in the blue bathroom downstairs. Service will be open only to Max's mother, Erin, who is gravely distraught at his passing.

Max, we'll miss ya...
