He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Loretta, a sister, Loretta Shurts, and a grandson, Nathaniel Specht. Max Walter Specht was born November 3, 1914, near Monticello, the son of George and Helena Heiken Specht. He attended rural Castle Grove #6 School and graduated from Monticello High School in 1931. Max farmed his entire life west of Monticello. Max was baptized and confirmed in his faith at SS. Peter & Paul Lutheran Church where he was a lifelong member. He served many years on the Church Council in various leadership positions and taught Sunday School for 10 years. Max was involved in the formation of Camp EWALU and served as a member of the Board of Directors. Max was a Township Trustee, a local Elections Committee member, and Prairie Hill Cemetery Trustee. He was a volunteer and provided leadership to the Jones County Historical Society, 4-H, Jones County Farm Bureau, Pork Producers, and longtime Chairman of the Jones County Soil & Water Commission where he expressed his passion for conservation. His love of the outdoors has been passed to the next generation of conservationists.
