Maxim's obituary
Max was born on November 13, 1994, to mother, Natasha Pankov, and spent his early years in Russia training to be an olympian ice skater. After injury caused him to change course entirely, he took this hinderance in stride, and courageously ventured to New York City. There, Max flourished in a newfound career in cyber security, a field in which he had extensive natural talent, combined with rapid acquisition of technical skills.
Max had a brilliant inventor's mind - the likes of which are rare and truly precious - and throughout his years in school and work, Max set several ideas for inventions into motion. His Life's Work included plans for highly efficient superconductors, amid extensive research into natural, biomedical treatment of non-neurotypical individuals.
Max was a Wizard. With spirited passion and seemingly boundless delight, he pursued his interests, and fiercely loved those dear to him.
He leaves behind his grandmother "Baba," mother, Natasha, brother, Mike, and life partner, Caite. May his spirit live on in life all around us.
