Pre-Obituarry

Driven, fast-paced, and always on the edge, Max Tedford now lies at rest. The nineteen year old, born in Franklin, NH who grew up in Northfield, NH, was a sophomore and Journalism student at the University of New Hampshire.
His plans to travel to Europe were cut short but his love of travel still brought him all over North America and to England.
A sports fan his entire life he started reading the sports page of the newspaper at age four. He was a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan with a lifelong dream of seeing the Eagles play a home game.
It was rare to catch him watching TV without ESPN or some sports game on and he was named Sports Broadcaster of the Year as a freshman at the Curry College radio station, WMLN.
Growing up as a single child Max played soccer, basketball, skied, and ran track.
"I think Max knows more about sports and sports trivia than anyone I've ever met, and I've met a lot of people in my days," said family friend and lawyer Stanley Robinson.
If not mulling over different sports columns, Max was often reading box scores of any sports event from the night before or checking stats.
The passing of Max comes just days before the NCAA Final Four, an event he never would of missed and an event that would decide if he won his Bracket Pool.
Always a feisty competitor and gambler, nothing got the blood pumping in his veins like gambling on sports. Perhaps a win by West Virginia will actually get the blood pumping in his veins again.
His father, Scott Tedford, had this to say about his son, "Max might not always be the biggest, fastest, or strongest kid but he'll always try his hardest and that's what sets him apart. He gives his all."
His mother, Sheryl, said, "I don't think Max always used his brain to do what he should have been doing but he was surprisingly smart if he put his mind to something."
