DAVIES, Charles “Max”
Posted: May 31st, 2025
DAVIES CHARLES “MAX” DAVIES, of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Shirley Davies, passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Wednesday May 28th, 2025 at the age of 85 years.
Max is survived by his devoted wife Shirley, and their children: Kit (Barb) Davies of Calgary, Tad (Debra) Davies of High River, and Lon Davies of Lethbridge. Max leaves behind a proud legacy through his 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his daughter Debbie and his brother Kevin.
Born on September 4, 1939, in Claresholm, Alberta, Max was the beloved son of Charles Nowlin Davies and Cora Zylpha Davies.
Max spent his formative years in Lethbridge, where he forged lifelong friendships – bonds that have endured for over 70 years. In 1959, he married the love of his life, Shirley Dianne, and together they raised four children: Debbie, Kit, Tad, and Lon.
Over the years, Max built a fulfilling career in transportation safety within the cartage and oilfield industries. Known for his integrity and strong work ethic, he left a lasting impression on colleagues and friends alike.
Max had an easygoing nature and a gift for storytelling. Always quick with a joke or a playful tease, he brought joy and laughter to those around him. His sense of humour was matched only by his deep love for his family, with whom he cherished every moment.
Max will be remembered for his warmth, wit, and unwavering devotion to family and friends. His stories, laughter, and love will echo in the hearts of all who knew him.
