Maxton Allen Grider,
(SFC, U.S Army - 101st Airborne Div, Retired, (Executive Chef)
Maxton Allen Grider passed quietly in his sleep early the morning of December, 26, 2015. He was born in Russell Springs, KY, on June 21, 1934 to Margie Breeding and raised on the family farm of Otha & Martha Grider (his maternal grandparents). He joined the Army in 1956 and was a 20-year veteran receiving awards and honors for his service in the U.S. Army and retired Executive Chef under General Michael Davison. He served in the Vietnam War (101st Airborne Div.) and traveled overseas to Germany and South Korea where he met his beloved wife. After his service in the Army, he retired from Henry Vogt Machine Co. to continue planting his garden to grow his cherished tomatoes and cucumbers. Mack was a wonderful storyteller and often showed his affection through humor. He was a member of Immanuel Korean Church where he maintained the grounds for as long as he could.
Mack was a devoted husband to Min Ja and loving father to their five children, Patricia Kestler (Stephen), Barbara Cruse (Tim), Karen Gahafer-Buryn (Eric), Allen Grider (Angela), and Sandra McCreary (Stephen Jr.) along with eleven grandchildren, Collin and Kyele (Kelsey), Candace (Sam), Dalton, Tori, Christopher (Sara), Michael, Stephen III, Zoe, Ella, Lily and a great-grandson, Porter Maxton. He also is survived by two half brothers, David (Patty) and Larry Breeding.
