Max Jentsch born November 6, 1927, to Herman Max Jentsch and Alma Hellbush Jentsch of Archer County, died peacefully in his sleep at his home on June 18, 2013. Max and Dolores married on September 27, 1952 and were married for 49 years at the time of her death in 2001. Funeral services will be held Friday, June 21, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in Morrison Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Pioneer Cemetery under the direction of Morrison Funeral Home.

Max was a farmer until he joined the Army and became a part of the Military Police stationed at Fort Jornada del Muerto, New Mexico. After the Army, he returned to Archer County where he worked for Norris Brothers Lumber Company, then became a roustabout for the oil industry. He celebrated 54 years of employment with the Medders Oil Corporation and officially retired on June 6, 2013. From 1997 until June 2013 he lived in Guthrie, Texas. Those who knew him well and worked with him described him as a "company man". However, he was first of all a friend, especially to those in need. While living in Archer County, he would help with grass fires, bailing hay, mending fences, fixing automobiles; anything that anyone needed assistance with. Although in recent years he has not been able to provide physical help because of his health, he would find a way to help.

Five grandchildren; Courtney O'Daniel Baugh and husband Jeff of The Colony, TX, Crystal O'Daniel of Plano, TX, Ray Sanders and wife Holly of Richardson, TX, Amanda Reeve and husband Chris of Archer City, TX, and SFC Clint O'Daniel of Fort Riley, KS.
