He passed away unexpectedly from a massive brain hemorrhage on Fri., May 27, 2016 at 2:38 AM at American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, WI.
Maxx had extensive health problems and many surgeries in his short life, yet met every day with smiles and laughter, teaching everyone around him what life was really about. Maxx was a very happy little boy. He also was very flirtatious with all the ladies. Maxx won the hearts of everyone. He was lovable, cute, handsome, and such a ham. He enjoyed playing with his parents, sisters, friends, and many others. He loved to play ball and with his rain stick. He enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Maxx is survived by his parents, Marie Jackson and Steve Stageman Jr., his 3 sisters, Megan, Ericka, and Braelyn, his grandparents: Steve Stageman Sr., Jan Shaw, David Brey, and Chris McCarthy, his 3 great-grandmothers: Mary Lee Reuss, Bernice Brey, Elaine Stageman, his Aunt Andrea (Chris) Mullins, his Uncle Brad (Hailey) Brey, his Aunt/Godmother Staci McCarthy, his other 2 Godmothers, Amie Moore and Stephanie Kitchen, his great-aunts and uncles: June and Jim Cook and Barb and Denny Burnett. Maxx is also survived by his cousins, Ben and Dominic Mullins, Brent, Garrett, and Mallory Cook, and Denielle Burnette. Many more extended family members and friends. He is preceded in death by his great-grandfathers, George Reuss, Vernon Brey, and Max Stageman.
