Maxcimiliano Mendivil

Maxcimilano Mendivil was granted his angel wings and entered the gates of Heaven on January 20, 2021. He passed away peacefully, after a brave battle to Covid. Our angel was gifted by God to his beloved parents, Brijido and Dominga Mendivil, on October 12, 1979 in Visalia California. Maxcimilano's family always surrounded him with love and protection. Max or "Maxie" as most knew him was born with Down Syndrome. Maxie throughout his life faced many health challenges, which did not prevent from always being happy and having a smile on his face. Through it all he maintained his reputation of being a "fighter". He loved everyone and had a gentle soul. He was innocent just like an Angel, which is why his parents referred to him as their "Angelito" our little Angel. Maxie lived his life always with a smile and those who were touched by him understood the joyous impact he had on others. He was charismatic, sensitive, and kind spirited. At the age of three he began attending Maple school in Tulare Ca. As early as the age of four he participated in the "Special Olympics" track and field. He loved to run and was very active as a child. One of his passions while in school was painting. He enjoyed water coloring, especially Disney books. He continued his education and received his diploma from the "Office of Education" in 2001. He then enrolled at the "Creative Center" in Visalia, until the age of thirty-one. Maxie had many hobbies and things he loved to do. One of his passions was watching Disney movies. He loved all Disney characters, especially Mickey Mouse. He owned many Mickey Mouse memorabilia and over the course of his life, collected over one hundred Disney movies. He was also a fan of Jurassic Park and Rocky movies. Maxie was a huge "WWE" fan, he was glued to the television every Monday night for "Raw" and every Friday for "Smackdown". Wrestlemania was his Super Bowl, and year after year you would find him at his brother Manuel's house watching Wrestlemania, and with his favorite food. Pizza, Hamburgers, and oh let's not forget his "Coke" which his sister Georgie always made available for him. During his life span, Maxie collected over 100 wrestlers which he played with daily and knew every wrestler's name. Maxie from a young age loved music and dancing. "Los Tigres del Norte" was his favorite group and he was first on the dance floor, especially at his sister Lola's house, with his Tejano hat. He wore his hat with pride and took it everywhere with him. You'd find him with his Tejano hat especially at the Tachi Palace Casino, one of his favorite places to go. He enjoyed playing his favorite slot machines, and always had a blast with his family. He also had a Friday morning donut ritual that his parents, "Brijido and Minga" would provide him with. His favorites were glazed donuts, donut holes and chocolate milk. These are only a few of the memories that we will hold dear in our hearts of his memorable life. We will never forget you Max. You showed us so many wonderful things throughout the years. How to love unconditionally, have patience, and how to live life always smiling with simplicity. He is survived by his Parents Brijido and Dominga Mendivil, brother Manuel and partner Gabby, sisters Delores and husband Felipe, and sister Georgie. As well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. God granted your angel wings too soon; we wish we could have more time with you, may you keep watch over us. Until we meet again, we will always love you and keep you in our hearts. You were our "Angel" here on earth and will forever be our "Angel" in heaven.
