On Thursday, July 1, 2021, Maximo "Max" Cuellar, Jr. passed away peacefully at his home at the age of 60. Max was born on July 14, 1960, in Stanton, TX, to the late Maximo Cuellar, Sr. and Silveria (Espinosa) Cuellar. He was raised in Midland, TX, and attended Midland High School until his freshman year.

Max was an entrepreneur at heart. He was once an owner of Tommy's Supermarket, Max Cuellar Contracting Company, and other real estate properties. His biggest accomplishment was a proclamation issued by Mayor Burns marking May 22, 2001, as Max Cuellar Day!
