Max Dean Lines -- June 28, 1928 – December 16, 2014

Mr. Max D. Lines, 86, of Troy, MO, passed away on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at his residence. He was born on June 28, 1928 in Marble Rock, Iowa to Clyde and Velma (Robinson) Lines. Max was the youngest of his eight siblings. He was raised on a farm and got his work ethic from that experience. At the age of 20, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years and then served as a reservist until 1988.

He met his future bride, Joanne Sorenson, while living in his hometown. Soon after, the couple was married on July 28, 1950 in Charles City, Iowa. To this union were born three children: Jeff, Bob and Mickey.

While the children were young, he worked in law enforcement for the Iowa Dept. of Transportation, retiring after 33 years of dedicated service. The family enjoyed boating and skiing during the summer months. Max and Joanne moved to Missouri and in 1999 moved to Troy to be closer to family. They were members of the First Baptist Church of Troy and attended as long as his health permitted. His word was his bond, loyalty was a part of who he was. Max will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Surviving are his beloved wife of over 64 years, Joanne Lines of Troy; his sons: Jeff and wife Beth Lines of St.Charles, Bob and wife Beth Lines of Hugoton, Kansas and daughter, Mickey and husband Doug Freese of Foley; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
