Maxwell Jeffrey Veatch

Max Veatch died from Fentanyl poisoning on August 13, 2022. Max grew up in Thornton, Colorado where he enjoyed a very active childhood that included swimming, gymnastics, scouting, hunting, fishing, rock climbing, lacrosse, and many other activities. But Max excelled most of all at ice hockey. As a boy, Max played hockey for Hyland Hills and then the Colorado Thunderbirds, where he earned a reputation as a hard-hitting leader and lightning-fast skater. After his graduation from Mountain Range High School in 2010, Max went on to play junior hockey, until a knee injury ended his playing career. Max earned a degree at Arizona State University in 2017 and began a career in commercial real estate in Arizona before returning to Colorado and eventually Cheyenne to be closer to his family.

Max was known by all for his ever-present smile and his huge heart. He brought joy to the lives around him, and he will be sorely missed by so many friends and family who love him dearly.

Max is survived by his parents Brian Veatch and Jenny McMann, stepparents Beth Coloroso and Jef McMann, sister Samantha Snocker, stepsisters Emily Miller, Allison Lenear, Kailey Block and Mandey Brown, grandfather Ron Veatch, grandmother Sandy Hohn, uncles Jeff Hohn, Todd Veatch, and Damien Veatch, aunt Dina Hohn, brothers-in-law John Snocker, David Miller, and Trevor Lenear, niece Molly Snocker, nephews Ian Snocker and Dax and Dean Miller, and Cousin Grace Hohn. He was preceded in death by grandfather Bob Hohn and grandmother Bev Veatch.

A memorial service will be held at Crossroads Community Center, 10451 Huron St Northglenn, CO 80234 on August 25, 2022 at 11:00 a.m.
