Max Sanford
Max, a Manning resident and freshman at IKM-Manning High School, died December 18 after a car crash the evening before. He was the son of Brett and Kasie (Lorenzen) Sanford and brother to Jack, Ella and Will.

Joel Sutton, pastor at United Methodist Church in Manning, at Maxâs funeral on December 23, held in the IKM-Manning High School gym where heâd played basketball. âWhether he was quietly mentoring other students, or moving his cousins into a new home, or visiting the cemetery to clean up and care for his grandmaâs grave â he didnât do these things for attention. He did them to benefit and to lift up others. He did them because he was kind.â
