Max Garland Pennington, Jr.

Max Garland Pennington, Jr., age 61 of Avondale, PA, passed away on Monday, September 23, 2024, at his home.

Born 1963 in West Chester, PA, Max was the son of Max Garland Pennington, Sr., and Pauletta Sissy Vanore Pennington.

Following graduation from Kennett High School, Max served in the United States Air Force. Max worked as a security guard for Modern Mushroom Farms in Toughkenamon.

Max loved music and football. He was a huge fan of the Eagles but was an even bigger fan of his family. He loved his daughters deeply and was an extremely proud Pop Pop to his grandchildren. Though he was admittedly ornery from time to time, he had a great sense of humor and easily made others laugh.

Max is survived by his daughters, Stephanie Marie Fischer (A.J.) and Nicole Lynne Pennington (Brian Gartside); his sister, Roberta Melendez (Marvin); grandchildren, Skylar, Aydin, Amira, Royan, Dane, Azalea and Juniper; niece, Katlyn; and nephew, Geoffrey.

Services for Max will be private.
