The Maisel family will hold the service on Friday, March 27, at Congregation Bnai Israel in Bridgeport. His father, Ivan, an ESPN senior writer, made the announcement Tuesday online at website for the Fifth Down, the online newsletter of the Football Writers Association of America.
Here is the post:
"On behalf of Meg and our daughters, I want to thank everyone in the FWAA community who has reached out to us over the last three weeks since our son Max went missing. We presume he drowned on Feb. 22. The care and concern of so many writers and SIDs across the country has helped us cope with the unfathomable.
"We are having a memorial service and a celebration of Max’s life on Friday, March 27 at Congregation Bnai Israel in Bridgeport."
Max Maisel was last seen Feb. 22 leaving the Perkins Green apartment complex on the upstate New York campus. He is a third-year professional photographic illustration student at RIT.
His car was found near the Charlotte Pier at Lake Ontario, an area where his family has vacationed. A person was reportedly seen walking on the pier that night.
The Rochester Police SCUBA has worked with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office SCUBA to search for him in the icy waters of Lake Ontario.
"We want to thank the Rochester Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies for their heroic work in severe conditions," Ivan Maisel said in a Tweet on March 1. "While they have urged us not to leap to any conclusions about Max's fate, logic indicates it will not end well."
Anyone with information as to Max Maisel’s whereabouts is asked to contact Rochester Police Department Investigator Kevin Wehbring at 585-428-6293.
