A little tribute to a huge legend

Hi,

On my recent travels I went to Bottle beach on Koh Phangan, Thailand. Max always use to tell me about this place so I made it my mission to check it out. Knowing he always knew about the best things to do and places to see I knew I couldn't go wrong.

It was quite an emotional day going from bar to bar trying to find someone who would remember him.
Just as I gave up, the manager called Nin from the Smile Bungalows recognized him from I picture I had with me. I knew I would find someone! It's hard to forget someone so magnetic and special as Max.
It was amazing to talk to this guy and hear some new stories I hadn't before.

While I was there I wanted to do something that would leave a piece of him forever so I found a rock on the left hand side of the beach and wrote a little something down.

I've attached a picture to this email, but in case it can't be seen well here is what I wrote.

'Max O' Connell

Like a pure magnet of energy we were drawn to him.
No words can sum up this angel that blessed us.
He changed us forever.

Thanks for coming into our lives.
Your spirit will stay with us forever.

Max loved Bottle beach and now I know why.
A piece of him lives on here forever.

Love you with all my heart Amigo.

RIP

I'll see you again some day.

Miss you

Marina'
