In Memory
Maxwell "Maxx" John Szucs
April 11, 2003 ~ August 05, 2026 (age 23)
Maxwell (Maxx) John Szucs, beloved son, brother, and friend, tragically lost his life in an automobile accident in Indianapolis, IN early August 5th. Maxx was returning home from work at the time he passed.
Maxx was born in South Bend on April 11, 2003. He is survived by his father Edward Szucs, Jr., mother Jene’ Hartman (Cox), stepfather Allan Hartman, grandmother Jean Cox, and brothers Noah and Peter Szucs (Chase) and Mitchell and Jake Hartman (Brittany), uncles Jeff Cox and Jim Szucs, nephews Grant and Brady Szucs, numerous cousins and many close friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfather John Cox and grandmother Marie Szucs.
Maxx left an impressive legacy. He was a decorated athlete at Clay High School, tying the national record for varsity letters with 21. Despite his heavy letter jacket, Maxx still found time to serve as senior class president, participate in swing choir and spend plenty of time goofing off with his friends. He especially cherished the time he spent with Tyler, Jaden, Jackson, Shawnie, Ellie, Sydney and Lillie. After graduation from South Bend Clay High School in 2021, he received his associate’s degree from Ivy Tech in South Bend.
Maxx later moved to Indianapolis to study music production. He earned a certification in music production at the Roundtable Recording Company. Maxx then continued an internship there, where he hosted a podcast interviewing local music artists and was in the early stages of his own career as an artist in the music industry. His passion for music was a driving force in recent years, during which he produced his own discography of music. His work will now forever exist under the moniker A.K.A., a name born from an early collaboration with his first music mentor, Derek Albright.
Across all of his endeavors, Maxx’s work ethic was unrivaled, his commitment to his friends and family was unquestioned, and his dreams for the future were bright; tied to bringing people together with music and regular rounds of golf. His enthusiasm, big smile and bombastic personality will leave an everlasting impression on those who loved him.
