Arthur Wesley Maxwell (aka Skip, Sonny, Max), 78, of Westkill, passed away peacefully at home on June 16, 2023.
He was born on Dec. 6, 1944, to the late Arthur Arnold Maxwell and Edna Perry (Stockwell). He was predeceased by his son Arthur A. Maxwell.
Art was an avid hunter, fisherman and billiards player. He loved everything about the outdoors. He enjoyed riding his Harley in his younger years and riding bulls and broncos at Carson City Rodeo. He loved playing guitar, making everyone laugh and telling stories of his life. He was a retired heavy equipment operator but was definitely a jack of all trades.
Arthur left behind his wife of 30+ years, Linda Maxwell (Gantert), daughter Victoria Arnold of Catskill, son Edward Maxwell of Coxsackie, daughter Marie McCusker and fiancé Eugene VanAlstyne of Earlton, daughter Lois Ciccolella of North Carolina, and ex son-in-law Joseph Ciccolella of Schodack, son Steven Woodbeck and wife Colleen Woodbeck of Athens, as well as many beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends and family that he loved and idolized so much. He was supported by so many of his friends and family.
The family will have a celebration of life service at a later date.
