Tonight I was reading a journal of my grandmother's that stated the story above of my great great grandfather Max. Reading these reflections are such a tribute to Max. It is indeed a travesty, however, what a wonderful man he must of been to make such sacrifices. I intend to tell my children of the man he was and the impact he had on the world; Max will not be forgotten.

Rest In Peace

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 60th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and birthplace of my son. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Chief Deputy Daniels,
On today, the 57th anniversary of your death, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Avery County. It's a travesty of justice that the dirtbag responsible for your death didn't go to prison.

Hello Max:

We are working on a monument to all of you at the SO, Zeb and JW for the County. I never knew you but I know some of your family. Your brave career ended long before I was born. You were a brave man, it took a second ambush in a month to kill you, and you fought on for 2 days with a broken neck.

The killer-coward perpretrated this vile act may have evaded earthly justice, but I am confidenmt that St. Michael brought him before God in handcuffs on judgement day.

You are not forgotten. Thanks! You and the other Avery officers can keep Glenn, RL and Ken company up there and show them the ropes. Look out for us.
