  Four children: Alice Sue Mason, Rebecca Kay Moore and April Marie Horton of this city, Herman Max Horton, Jr. of Southhaven, MS.
  Seven grandchildren: Angela Heard and Joseph Moore of this city, Michelle Like of Colt, Heather Hazeslip and Heath Horton of Cabot, Patti Spain of Marion and Guy Hamilton Moore of Nashville, TN.
  Seven great grandchildren: Alisa Sue Elliott, James Nathaniel and Eli Like, Elizabeth, Whitney and Jonathan Hazeslip, Elizabeth and Hunter Spain. Two great great grandchildren: Darion Rock Reaves (Max's best friend) and his brother Ja'rell.
  Four brothers: Haynes Horton of Pine Bluff, Jimmie and Tommie Horton of Dewitt and Floyd Horton of Ethel.
  Six sisters: Nora Watson of DeWitt, Sue Noble of Morrilton, Linda Cummings of Lonoke, Judy DePriest of Stuttgart, Nancy Posey of Bartlett, Tennessee and Polly Emmons of Redfield. Max will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.
