Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of Donald and April Wharton Coleman of Churchville.

Maximus was born on November 21, 2011 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. However, he was strong and so was his personality. A personality that shined through him and on to others who loved and cared for him. Maximus was exposed to many people in his short life from family, friends, doctors and hospital staff and they all fell in love with him. He was a character with an animated personality.

His actions and mannerisms were especially cherished by those who met him in the hospital. Once they knew him, they would visit him even if it meant going out of their way to see him. Although his time was brief, he was special, loved and endeared by everyone.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his 2 sisters, Emma Rose and Sara Maeve Coleman, his "Mom Mom" Margaret Steur and "Poppy" Randy Pellegrini, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Donald L Coleman.
