Max A. Enseleit

LOLO – Max A. Enseleit died Friday, March 1, 2013, at a local care facility of natural causes.
He was 86 years old, lucid and aware right up to his final moments when his body failed him.
Max was born in Hinsdale, MT, on August 18th, 1926, the only son of Ada and August Enseleit.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, LaVonne (Peterson) Enseleit of Lolo, children Roger Enseleit of Valier, Judy Alexander of Billings, Don Enseleit of Grand Forks ND, Betty (Joe) Rizzo of Oceanside CA, and Bryan (Karen) Enseleit of Great Falls.
Max is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
In his younger years, Max was in the Navy and received his honorable discharge. He received a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Mexico, where he was on the diving team, and subsequently completed requirements for becoming a Professional Registered Engineer and was instrumental in the development of several hydroelectric generating plants. Later in his career, he worked for the Corp of Engineers on the Minuteman and Safeguard missile projects, and finally started his own engineering consulting business late in his career.
Max and LaVonne resided mainly in Eastern Montana up until 1979, when they moved to their present residence in Lolo to retire.
Cremation has taken place, and later this summer there will be a ceremony with full military honors at the cemetery in Hinsdale, MT.
Max was a member of the Atonement Lutheran Church in Missoula, MT, and is currently having a well-deserved late lunch with the Lord while looking after his family.
