Its funny how fast life changes. One minute two boys who loved God and their lives, are alive the next minute they are gone. On May, 28th 2004 at about 8:15pm Max Sadler and good friend Mark Tiner hit an SUV on PCH across from the Ritz in Dana Point. Unfortunately both boys did not survive. But, this doesn't mean that they are gone, they are still here with us and we will never forget there love, friendship, and faith. They will always be walking along side us in the halls at Laguna Beach High School, they will still be out on the water with us. Just not in flesh but in spirit; Their spirits will linger on with us forever. We love you guys and will never let people forget what happened and who you were.
Max Sadler 1987-2004
Mark Tiner 1987-2004

Please be praying for the families!
God Bless!

It's been almost a year since Mark and Max were taken from us. However, the memories of them are something that will stay with us forever. It seems like just yesturday that i was sitting in French class joking around with Mark. He was one of the first people to befriend me when i was new at Laguna and he's a friend that i'll never forget. R.I.P Mark and Max

I will never forget the day Max and Mark passed away. My class was the last one of the day for Mark and he had a pink flower pinned to his shirt that day. I told him how nicely the pink matched his outfit. He laughed and took it off and gave it to me. I have worn that pin every Friday since Max and Mark died and plan to keep it going. They were two amazing kids with equally amazing families and friends. I miss all of you and think of you often. Love, K Double D

Tiner was one of the funniest people to ever walk the face of the earth. I remeber how he would always rock some crazy camoflauge shorts and he would always talk to me about the new things he was doing with endaz. It is sad to see not see mark at school or driving around in his silver vw or at the beach but the legend of Tiner will live on in laguna forever and in our hearts. He tought me some life lessons and always supported me in the things I did and I thought he was pretty cool to do that. He was just a chill person who wanted to help whoever he could. I remember the day before mark left I was sitting their with my friend Brian and we were talking to mark and mark said " one day i am going to usc and I am going to join a feternity that helps the less fortunate." I thought to myself wow here is a person who is just a great guy and who will succeed in life in whatever he chooses to do. Tiny was a one of a kind kid most of us could never and will never do with our lives what mark did in 16 years which is become a great person and accept everyone as your friends. R.I.P mark

I have just now got the courage to go onto this website. Its been about a month now since this whole life changing event happened. I just want to say that I know where Max and Mark went. They were awesome Chistian boys who loved Jesus Christ. I have so many wonderful memories with both of the boys. They were always smiling and having a grand old time. Max and Mark lived the best 17years that I know someone could live. They were so funny with Max tring to get waves in Molokai and Mark just rapping away at nothing. Good times. Well I think we know where Max and Mark went, do you know where you are going? I love you guys both. R.I.P.

We feel unhappy
We feel so sad
We've lost the best friend
That we ever had
They were the mans
We loved them so
But it's too late now
We've let her go
We shared the eve's
We shared each day
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
Our heart were blinded
Love went astray
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Their last goodbyes
Now all our days
Are filled with tears
Wish we could go back
And change the years
WE ARE GOING THROUGH CHANGES

Having grown up with max and been close friends since the age of 5, this tragic event was completely altered my life forever. Now that I have had a chance to work through my emotions of the most diffucult part of this event, I am at a point now where I am able to celebrate and look back at the times I did have with both Max and Mark with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having known them and been a part of their lives. My love goes out to both of the families, especially Brooke Sadler and Sean Tiner.

Max and Tiner were absolutely amazing. They were the most fun guys to be around, and they always had something hilarious to say. I can't remember a time when I wasn't cracking up at one of Mark's jokes or raps. He truly acted as the life of the party. They were both their own person. They were never influenced by what other people thought and never compromised their opinions for others. I keep hearing how Max would take on the whole French class in a debate about abortion, and he never once yielded to the opinions of others. Both these guys lived for God. They did what He wanted them to do in life. They set awesome examples for others, Christians and athiests alike. They didn't drink or smoke, and they were always kind and respectful. They were the "perfect" guys. I only wish I had more time to spend with them. Max and Tiner - You will never be forgotten! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Max and Tiny were two amazing boys. It is astonishing how they could be taken from us so suddenly; but I know that they are now in heaven with Jesus. I'll miss you guys, and I'll never forget your awesome personalities! Rest in Peace.

It's hard to understand why I have to say goodbye to 2 of my favorite boys from Laguna Pres. They where my brothers and to lose them hurts. But, there is a huge smile that comes to my faces when I think of those boys. They made me laugh and will contiune to make me laugh until the day that I meet them in heaven. Mark Tiner is still hardcore in heaven and I'm sure that being in the presence of God is even more rewarding than surfing for 'Maxwell House' Sadler!

Max and Tiner are the kids that parents want their children to be like when they hit high school. They never drank or smoked. They just hangout with friends, family and they loved most of all to hangout with Jesus. He was why they were such awesome people. They loved Him and trusted Him with their lives. If you think about it, they were taken from us because God needed them. Life didn't end here for them the day they died, it began. They are now in the presence of Jesus and what more can anyone want. That is the ultimate goal in life, to be with Jesus and just like those boys, they got there first. I love them both very much and I will miss them. I will miss Tiner and the way he could make my worst day into my best one with 10 seconds of his freestyle. I will miss Max and watching him rock out during worship. That boy could play. I will miss his smile most of all. It could make anyone's heart melt. They played a part in my life, but I never knew how much of a huge role they played until they were gone. My heart will never be the same. Tiner, you are Hard Core and Max you are Amazing.

Max,you were a great and funny guy to be around. I knew you for a couple of years and those years were my greatest years since you brought joy everyday. Your life only started and now you sadly passed away so soon. You will be missed by all and you will never be forgotten. Mark, I did not know you since i moved away but you sounded like a great guy. Your friendships with others will be missed and also your life was cut short to a distrubing car crash. God Bless Mark and Max. *Rest In Peace*

Mark was so young and such a great person...each time i think of the thought that i will never see his happy face on our campus again, it brings me to tears...i can't image that he is acually gone, i feel like i am living a nightmare where people are dying,...but then i remember that whenever i saw tiny he was smiling and it makes me smile....im glad i knew him and i will remember him forever... and i kno i will see you both again when it is my time. RIP MAX AND BIG TINY

Max and Mark were two amazing people. Their creativity, energy, and immacutle friendships will mean more to me than the world. I will miss both of them very much. Knowing Max since the third grade makes him feel like a brother. I thank him for every ounce of kindness, generosity, and friendship he had in his body. I just hope he valued our friendship as much as I did. Our "circle of friends" is now one member short and is now left with a void, a void which will never be filled again. And Mark. I did not know Mark as well as i had wanted to, but now it is too late. I regret not getting to know Mark Tiner as others knew him; the tall white thug who grew up on the mean streets of Laguna Beach. Both Max and Mark will be missed more than they'll ever know. They'll never be forgoten; living on in our hearts, minds, and souls.

It's completely amazing how life changes in a split second.
Max and Mark were such great people. We all have only fond memories of them and they will never be forgotten.
Not only will we never forget the memories of Mark and Max, but we should also never forget the impact this has had on all of us. Appreciate people. Learn to love and tolerate one another. Because at any moment, anyone could be taken from you.
This horrible incident has changed my life more than anything else ever has. God bless Mark and Max.

I have known MAx since Kindergarten and i have had some classes with him since then. And it still doesnt hit me that he gone and no one can bring him back witch is the sadest thing to think about. So we shouldnt take things for granted because any thing can happen to anyone at any moment so we should be thankful for what we have.The world is upside down when bad things happen to REALLY good people. So as we go on living our live we should remember all the time we spent together and as our lives chane from what ever we will still be friends. so we should always remember Max and Mark FOREVER.

What happened was horrible and unexpected. Mark and Max's deaths have affected me beyond words. I now look at everyone in a different way because the truth is no one ever promised us tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... we need to stop taking everyone for granted because we might never see that person again! Drive slow, guys! Max and Mark, you will always be in my heart.

I can't believe that Max is gone. He was an awesome surfer and will always be remembered.
