The Max
Factor
Max Marvin
was one of those rare people who, even as a teenager, had a dynamic and magnetic personality that engaged young and old alike.
That he took his own life was tragic and shocking to everyone who knew him. Max made the world a better place while he was here. Those closest to him want him also to make the world a better place after he is gone. That is the goal in mission of the Max Marvin Foundation. To strive for mental wellness among our young people by drawing attention to mental health issues so that other young people can find the help that Max did not. And, in accomplishing that goal, honor the memory of this captivating young man, Max Marvin.
