Jackie Steve Maxwell of Raeford, died Sunday, July 5, 2015 at his home at the age of 82.
He was born in Hoke County, March 6, 1933, to the late George W. Maxwell and Claudia Bullard Maxwell. He was the owner and operator of Jack's Auto Service since 1954. His work and his hobby were the same. He was a loving husband father and family man. His favorite thing to do was to go to the beach. This started early in his life. He would drive with a friend every weekend after his high school year and they would park the car and camp on the beach. Then, as a group, would ride on the beach and down the coast from Ocean Drive to Myrtle Beach. Later he enjoyed going with Mary and the children. Through the years, as the grandchildren and great-grandchildren grew to 24, it took at least a 5 bedroom beach house for everyone.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years Mary M. Maxwell of Raeford; a son, Steve Maxwell of Raeford; three daughters, Teresa Maxwell-Miller and her husband John of Aberdeen, Jane Maxwell and her husband Jeff Bumgarner of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, and Donna M. Fellinger and her husband Kurt of Davidson; nine grandchildren, Linda, Ashley, Justin, Maxwell, Brett, Jackie, Nathan, Jack, Henry; and four great-grandchildren, Addy Grace, Garrett, Graham, and Scarlett.
Visitation will be from 1-2 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at the John C. Ropp Fellowship Hall.
The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at Raeford Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Michael L. McGehee officiating.
