James "Rockey" Maxwell

James “Rockey” Maxwell, 70, of Sellersville, passed away at home on Saturday, December 14, 2024, surrounded by family.

Born on August 30, 1954, in Marion, South Carolina, he was the son of the late Baker and Lillie (Abrams) Maxwell.

A graduate of Martin Luther King High School’s Class of 1972, he went on to earn college credits before starting his own subcontracting business. He owned and operated his painting business for over twenty years.

Outside of work, he found joy in playing pool, listening to music, visiting museums, playing chess, and upholstering furniture. Above all, though, he loved playing with his grandchildren and dogs.

James will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 51 years: Jacqueline (Larsen) Maxwell; son: Ezekiel Maxwell and his wife Rachel Roberts; daughters: Jamie Ruano and her husband Berlin, Ashley Pollock and her husband Michael, Elizabeth Maxwell, and Taylor Maxwell. Also surviving are his grandchildren: Isaiah Maxwell, Janessa Maxwell, MeCayla Pollock, Yael Maxwell-Ruano, Mateo Ruano, and Jayla Pollock; and two beloved dogs: Bandit Von and Molly Sue.

A visitation will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Saturday, December 21, 2024, from 10:00am until the time of the memorial service—in the funeral home—at 11:00am.
