Max F Gregersen returned to heaven on September 19, 2019 at his home in Rigby, Idaho.

Max was born on March 12, 1933 to Marcus and Eunice Doxford Gregersen. He lived a long, full life and was blessed with 12 children. He had 11 children with his childhood sweetheart Aloma June Mickelson, who he married on June 29, 1951, in the Logan, Utah Temple. They had many adventures over the next 62 years and then Aloma passed away in a tragic car accident in Arkansas in May of 2013.  Max’s adventures were not over yet. He met Velma Saxton and they were married for time and eternity on July 31, 2015 in the Jordan River Temple.

Max loved singing, music, and people. Everywhere he went he made friends, and everyone loved him.
