Lorenzo Max Snow

Lorenzo Max Snow, a lifelong resident of Hawthorne, passed away peacefully March 31 at his home with his nieces at his bed side.

He was born in April 9, 1937 to Lorenzo Marshburn and Ruby Naomi Snow in Jerome, Idaho.

He attended school in Jerome until his family made their home in Hawthorne in 1952. Max graduated from Mineral County High School in 1954. 

After graduation, he walked to the base to get his first real job. They hired him as a draftsman. Previously, he tried: selling the Grit newspaper, shoes and other things .

He loved hunting, scouting, and going to the bowling alley to playing pinball with his brother-in-law, Bill Lane. He had a great love for his family which was many. We always had so much fun with Max on visits. He has missed his best friend, his dad. Grandpa and Max were always together. 

He served as membership clerk in the Hawthorne Ward for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. His favorite calling was being in the nursery. He worked with the little ones for 35 years. He loved going to the Care And Share for lunch. He loved his motorized chair, so he could keep his independence to do his own errands. He was so grateful to the people that took the time to help to help him reach things in the stores. 

He was a great example of Christ-like love and service. He considered the people of Hawthorne, family. He loved being here. He was always positive and did his best to be kind, loving and helpful to all he met. 

Max was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters: Leona Ruby Lane and Mary Lorraine Orr; brother-in-law, William Richard Lane, Sr.; his baby brother, Lorenzo; nephews: Edward Lorenzo Lane and Devin Bruce Lane. 

He was never married and he had several nieces and nephews: William Richard Lane, Jr. – Minnesota; Terry (Mary) Lane – San Diego, Calif.; Randy (Jacquline) Lane – Roy. Utah; Ms. Dianne DeLancey – Hawthorne; Ms. Naomi Francis – Logan, Utah; Kevin (Gayla) Lane – Brigham City , Utah; Ms. Dalinda Rasmussen – Ogden, Utah; Phillip ( Debbie) Hainer – Cokeville, Wyo., Donald (Joy) Hainer – Auburn, Wash.; Jim (Lynda) Hainer – Thorpe, Wash.; Mark (Glinda) Hainer – Federal Way, Wash. and Robert Hainer – North Hollywood, Calif. and many great nieces and great nephews. 

A memorial service will take place on April, 13 at the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints at the top of A Street at 11 a.m. There will be no burial or graveside services.

We as a family would like to thank: The Mineral County EMT’s, Dr. Toby Morris and staff and the Mineral County Sheriff’s Department for the countless hours of service they provided to our sweet Uncle Max – in his different times of need. We truly appreciate you all for all you have done for him. Thank you to care and share for always making sure he had a reserved seat for lunch. You helped make his life happy.
