We celebrate the life and honor the sudden passing of Maximilien Samson Francois, also once known as Aliosha, on October 11th, at the age of 58. He resided in Vallecitos (Chamisal), overlooking the gorgeous mountains he called home. May he find peace and light in this next chapter. He will be missed dearly, but his light continues to live in our hearts with the music he played and the stars above us. He's survived by his wife Clodie, his children Quetzal & Bastien, and his cousins Jean, Funny, Gael, Pascal, Izarra, Jacques and Suketu, as well as the rest of his family in France. We love you Max.
