Arlo Max Alder
Max Alder, 75, of Emmett, died January 5, 2017 in Emmett.
Arlo Max Alder was born November 2, 1941 in Weiser, Idaho, to Albert Arlo Alder and Arzetta Hill. He passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of February 5, 2017, surrounded by his family. Max, who wore grumpy ties for Christmas, was all about love. Max's first love was his Heavenly Father; throughout his life he served Him. He attended and graduated from Weiser schools. He graduated from LDS seminary in Weiser, attended Brigham Young University, and fulfilled a 2 ½ year LDS mission to the Netherlands. He then returned to BYU where he courted and married his wife Judy Oliverson of 50 years in the Salt Lake LDS temple. He served in many ward and stake positions: home teacher, ward and stake Young Men's presidencies, Sunday School teacher, high counselor, the list goes on. His two favorite positions were Bishop and nursery assistant. He loved reading stories to the little kids, and he found great joy in serving his "flock" from youngest to the oldest. Tied to Max's love for his Heavenly Father was his love for his family. He had a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins and often shared stories of great times together. Even more interesting stories are the ones about teasing his beloved sister, Donna. He drove many miles between Emmett or Boise and Weiser to care for his parents as their health declined. Even before he married Judy, he loved and accepted the whole Oliverson clan as his and they immediately loved him. He was so proud of each of his five children, their spouses, his eighteen grandchildren-and his "honorary" children and grandchildren. Camping, going to the mountains for wood, swimming, individual "fun times," and hard work were part of early family memories. As his children grew and left the nest, he loved visiting near and far to share time with them and their families and to participate in blessings, baptisms, and marriages. Max's love for Scouting was legendary and he served Boy Scout of America in almost any position available-except for Den Mother. He worked with Cub Scouts, Eleven-Year-Old Scouts, Ventures; Explorers, and all groups as titles changed through the years. He loved spring, summer, fall, and winter camping; cooking Dutch oven chicken and cobbler; teaching knots and compass skills. Throughout the Emmett valley there are many Eagle projects that he mentored: the Bramwell Cemetery sign, the entrance to the Island Sports Complex sign, the sign at Carberry school, and countless others. He loved working with the boys and with the other leaders on numerous committees and councils. He was excited to attend Wood Badge and wore his beads with great pride. His many recognition's included the Silver Beaver and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Hard work and Max were synonymous, and he definitely did not love the health problems that tied him to a cane, a walker, and finally a wheelchair. The loving care givers at Meadow View would tell him, "Now Max, you know you should push your button so you don't fall." He would answer, "I know; I know," and then get himself up when they left. He enjoyed his work as a machine designer at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Adco West, Ozawa R &D, and Yankee Machine Shop. He appreciated his association with fellow workers and employers.
Max was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Judy; son, Blake of Elgin, SC (wife Susan and daughters Morganne and Mackenzie); son Todd of Letha (wife Tyann and children Marissa Hanson and son-in-law Nate, Lauryn, Hayden, Kamryn, Carson, and Krysta); son Darren of San Antonio, TX (wife Afton and children Jordan, Aubrey, Braiden, and Jaxon); son Shawn of Emmett (wife Teresa and daughters Madelyn, Isabelle, and Brynlee); daughter Jennifer Izatt of Emmett (husband Jared and children Emmilee, Andrew, and Abbie). Max is also survived by his sister Donna Spencer (the late Shirl Spencer) of Glendale, UT; and numerous beloved brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews.
The family wishes to extend thanks to his many loving caregivers at Valor Health Hospital, Rivers Edge Rehabilitation and Living Center, Meadow View Assisted living and Memory Care, Heart and Home Hospice, and countless friends. Drs. Brett Mumford and Tina McGuffey have watched over Max with great compassion for many years. Visitation was held at Potter Funeral Home in Emmett on Friday, February 10. Services were held Saturday, February 11, at the Emmett LDS Church at 1001 East Second Street, Interment was at the Emmett Cemetery. Donations may be made to Boy Scouts of America in his honor.
