Honoring Max’s Legacy
Max Badesheim Jr. was more than a veteran; he was a brother, friend, and an unwavering patriot who dedicated his life to service, both in uniform and in his community. As a United States Army veteran, he carried the values of honor and integrity into every aspect of his life. Max’s dedication didn’t end when he took off his uniform. His commitment to freedom and the open road led him to ABATE, where he found his second family among his brothers and sisters in the biker community. Max was member #273
With ABATE of Idaho, Max advocated for the rights and freedoms of motorcyclists, joining hands with those who shared his passion for the road and his dedication to independence. Max was the embodiment of camaraderie, loyalty, and a respect for individual freedom that extended to every rider he encountered. His brothers and sisters at ABATE knew him as a man of great integrity and warmth, someone who always had their backs, whether in advocacy, charity rides, or simply sharing the road together.
