Following graduation, he worked at General Filter, O’Neil Dairy Farm, Okland Welding, Gilbert Police Department, ACCO and American Packaging. In his retirement, Maynard was currently driving a school bus for Roland-Story Schools.
Maynard was happily married to LaVonne (McGonigle) for 50 years. Surviving are his two children, Don (Lori) Olson and Patti Lutjen, both of Story City; four grandsons, Justin (Kelsey) Lutjen, Bryce Lutjen, Trent Olson and Ryan Olson; and one sister, Kathy (Gaylen) Johnson of Grinnell, and their family.

Maynard was an avid fan of Roland-Story Norsemen sports, Chicago Cubs and ISU Cyclones. He was the president of the local Jaycees Chapter when they were named number 1 in the state. He was a proud member of the Story City Fire Department for 41 years, many of those years serving as assistant chief. He was on the Roland-Story football chain crew for 20 years. Spending time at the family cabin in Clear Lake was one of his favorite activities, especially the Fourth of July holiday. But his true love was watching his grandkids in all of their activities.
