Our Deepest  Sympathy.
Our thoughts and Prayers are with the Bernstein family.

I am just hearing this news about Max this afternoon and I wanted to express our sincere condolences to the family.  Although I did not know Max well, I always enjoyed having a brief conversation with him when I would see him.  Our hearts go out to Max's large circle of family and friends that will undoubtedly miss his big smile and warm personality.  If there is anything we can do to offer some comfort during this time, please let us know.

Playing with Max has been one of my highlights of college water polo. Even though I am introverted, Max always made me feel comfortable and at home in the team by reaching out and talking to me in and out of the water. He was a great leader and a supportive teammate, and I am thankful for the experiences I shared with him.

While remembering the times I shared with Max throughout college, the excitement of our polo championships quickly came to mind, while the shared team dinners and gatherings stuck with me longer. Max and I became quick friends through our many shared interests, and in the team dinners, concerts, and low-key hangouts that followed I came to trust, love, and know Max as one of my closest friends. 
Once the flurry of activity following graduation subsided, I was glad to share STL with Max. We shared fun concerts, pool parties, summer polo, and tried new restaurants together, and whenever work or post-college social life was difficult, I could lean on Max as a constant source of support. Max was a close and true friend, and I'll never forget the impacts he had on my life. 

My deepest condolences and love to the Bernstein and Shu families. 


Max glowed with kindness and always made an effort to help me in classes.  Max was reliable, smart, and a good friend.  Memories of his bright smile and laughter still touch me today and will continue to do so forevermore.

Max and I were roommates sophomore year at WashU; I'm heartbroken to hear about his passing.

Max was one of the first people I met freshman year on Dardick 4. His smile and compassion could make anyone feel welcome. We had countless nights watching movies and playing FIFA, which I wouldn't trade for anything. I loved being around Max because you could tell he genuinely cared about those around him.

One of my favorite memories with him was a sunny Sunday morning trip to the Olivette Diner. I had been complaining about missing diners like the ones we had in New Jersey. That weekend, Max took a group of us in his car to the Olivette Diner. For something as simple as a trip to a diner, it meant a lot to me. It was one of the first times that I felt like I had a family at school; thanks to Max.

I was so sad to hear that Max is no longer with you.  I will always remember that infectious smile that he had and what a nice and wonderful young person he was.  I didn't get to know him as a young adult, but I can only imagine what a treasure he was to your family and to those that called him friend.  My thoughts and prayers will be with your family as you navigate life without this dear young man.

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Max's sudden passing.  He will always be remembered as such an amazing and well-rounded young man. He was kind, intelligent, handsome, athletic, and above all, he was loved deeply by a dedicated and wonderful family.  I  watched the service from New Zealand and wanted to be there so badly to give you all a big hug.  We send our love and sincere condolences.

Max was a true friend, and the times we spent together are memories that I will always cherish.  I met him at a difficult time in my life, and I know that the compassion and support that he gave led me through it.  The positive impact that he had on everyone's life around him will never be forgotten

Dear Alex, Hui Hua and Keith:

We share in your grief and sadness in the loss of your beautiful and extraordinary son, Max.  May your memories of him console you and as the days go by we pray you find peace in those memories.  We were able to attend (via live stream) the funeral service for Max.  It was so meaningful, that we watched it again.

We extend our sincerest sympathy and love to all of you.

Our hearts break and words fail to capture the sadness we feel on the loss of Max. Many fun times were shared with Max and his family, especially during WashU water polo. His meaningful impact on our lives will not be forgotten. Our deepest sympathy to Keith, Hui Hua, Alex and all Max's family.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Max during his sophomore fall in high school when he attended Swiss Semester in Zermatt, Switzerland.  He was a true gentleman and scholar who was always interested in getting more from every experience.  When it came time to do solo hikes, Max wanted to do the most challenging and wanted to make sure it was longer than his brother's had been:)   He was an active participant in all class discussions and didn't hesitate to let you know where he stood, but most of all, Max was kind and thoughtful to everyone around him and had a strong moral compass.  He made all those who knew him that much better by example.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Bernstein family and  during this difficult time.

Thinking of you,

Max touched so many hearts at Camp Sabra. Our camp family is heartbroken. Though I haven’t spoken to Max since our time together as campers, I will always cherish those memories dearly. Max had such a positive spirit, and could always make me laugh. I am thinking of his family at this time. 

WE ARE SAD AT THE NEWS OF MAX PASSING. OUR CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF THE FAMILY. HAVING  DR. KEITH BERNSTEIN AS OUR DOCTOR FOR MANY YEARS, WE KNOW HOW DEDICATED  ALL OF HIS FAMILY ARE TO EACH OTHER, AND HOW MUCH MAX WILL BE MISSED.

SHIRLEY AND DON RAKEY 

Evie,

We are heartbroken for your loss.  You and your family are in our thoughts.

The family of Internal Medicine Associates lost a wonderful friend and coworker.  Max was a kind, loving and respectful person and we are grateful for the time we spent with him and the memories he left behind.   Our hearts go out to his parents ,  brother Alex,  family and friends.  

Max was an amazing scholar and mensch.  I had the joy of working with him and studying computer science with him.  I am so sad at his passing, and I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

We are saddened to hear of Max’s passing. We have distinct and fond memories of his stellar performance at the Middlebury Collegiate Water Polo Championships. He was clearly an MVP of that event but more importantly inspired his teammates and the fans showing confidence and skill that led to that victory. 

We send our love and thoughts to you all. Our hearts ache as we pray for healing. 
Janet, Neal, and Darcy Shulman
