Max Poulter (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Max Michael Poulter, age 37, of Bolivar, Missouri, died in his sleep on Friday, April 27, 2012 at the home of a couple he referred to as his godparents.
He was born on October 31, 1974 in Silvis, Illinois, the son of Michael John Poulter and Shirley Fallin Clark.
Max was a Bolivar High School Graduate with the class of 1993. He attended Central Assembly of God Church in Springfield, Missouri. Max was saved and he loved the Lord.
He was a very hard working young man willing to work at anything. If he didn’t have a car, he walked.
Max had a sweet nature and a smile for everyone, he loved to make people laugh, he met no strangers. Max was always ready to help people out; he had a true heart for missions. Max was going to trade school and very happy that he was going. He was finally getting into a place of his own and he had so many hopes and dreams for his future.
He loved to go fishing and hunting. When he would go out, I told Max “Son, don’t come back empty handed” and he never did. But guess who got to clean it; you got it, his mom!
Max was preceded in death by his two grandfathers; John Poulter and Everett Williams, grandmother; Margaret Poulter and half brother; James “Jimmy” Fallin III.
