7/11/1925 – 9/9/2015

Max Duane Mowrer was born in Newton, KS, on July 11, 1925 to the late Gaylord and Hilda (Phillips) Mowrer of Wichita, KS. He graduated from North High School in Wichita, KS, in 1943. Shortly thereafter, Max enlisted in the US Army and deployed to Africa and then Italy throughout the rest of World War II. He married Mildred Minor on June 28, 1946, and they later had two daughters, Marianne (Witcher) and Marilyn. Max graduated from Harding College in Searcy, AR, in 1950 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public School Music with a minor in Bible.

Max was baptized into Christ at the age of eleven in March, 1937. His love of God reigned throughout his life. He was a devout preacher, teacher, and missionary until he retired in 1993. Max continued to preach and teach and serve in other administrative capacities at whatever church he attended after that time.

Max’s many jobs during his life involved education. He primarily taught Bible and math but occasionally coached basketball and baseball. However, his true love was teaching music. Max was a tremendous singer with a beautiful tenor voice. He frequently led singing at church and even wrote some hymns for the choruses he directed.

Max taught at Dasher Bible School in Valdosta, GA, from 1951-1952; Ibaraki Christian High School in Ibaraki, Japan, from 1953-1957; and Western Christian College in Saskatchewan, Canada, from 1965-1967. He returned to Ibaraki as the principal of the high school from 1967-1971. From 1971-1978, he was the principal of the high school and dean of the college at Great Lakes Christian College in Ontario, Canada, and returned to Saskatchewan to become the president of Western Christian College from 1978-1985. He then moved to Westminster, CO, where he taught high school and junior high at Hyland Christian School until he retired in 1993. He moved to Omaha in 2006.

Preceded in death by his 10-year-old daughter, Marilyn, and wife of 53 years, Mildred (Minor) Mowrer; survived by daughter Marianne (North) Witcher, Omaha, NE; 2 grandsons, Brian (Lisa) Witcher, Bellevue, NE, and Kelly (Kristi) Witcher, Wetumpka, AL; 6 great-grandchildren, Allison (Chris) Crawford, Jonathon, Piper, Chase, Kara, and Kaylie; and 2 great-great-grandchildren, Jordynn and Carolynn.
