I am heartbroken for Maximilian's family during this time of loss. What a beautiful boy he was, so kind, so smart, and loved by all of his classmates at the Pädagogium where I was lucky enough to be his class teacher, as well as English teacher, my first year at the school. In an essay, at the age of 13, he wrote that he wanted to live in Austria when he grows up because he loved the mountains. May we all find comfort in the memories we shared with Maximilian. He will be missed.
