Born on February 6, 1946 in Ackerman, MS, he graduated as "Mr. AHS" from Ackerman High School in 1964. After graduating from Mississippi State University, he worked for many years in the car business before retiring from the US Postal Service. Wherever he worked he touched many lives and shared the love of Christ.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Kendall and Tilda B. Worrell. Those left to treasure his memory are his wife of 50 years, Karen Earhart Worrell, their daughters, Ashley Houpt (Dave) of Memphis, Brooke Ernst (Paul) of Shelbyville, KY, and Rachel Butler (Kiley) of Memphis, his son, Zohn Tennyson (Robyn) of Diamondhead, MS, grandchildren Zoe Kearfott, Cooper Houpt and Carson Houpt, brothers, Dixie Worrell (Doris) of Ackerman, MS, Doug Worrell of Pensacola, FL, sisters, Kathy Jenkins (Louis) of Starkville, MS and Jayne Gunter (Claude) of Oxford, MS, and many nieces and nephews.
Max's Christian faith was an essential part of his life. He previously taught Sunday School at Ridgeway Baptist Church and has been an active member of Bellevue Baptist Church for the past 25 years. But most importantly he taught his children to love and serve the Lord. His legacy of a Christ-centered life will be passed down for many generations.
Max was very artistic and loved thinking about and experiencing God's beautiful creation. His extensive reading made him very knowledgeable about many different subjects, especially our universe, space and physics.
The family will receive guests on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 beginning at 2:00 p.m. until the service at 3:00 p.m., both in the Pollard Chapel of Bellevue Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers, if you would like to honor Max, donations to Answers in Genesis (answersingenesis.org) or Ridgeway Baptist Church would be appreciated.
