"Forever Loved": Tributes Pour In For Corby Teenager Max Hall
Friends, family and supporters are remembering the 14-year-old, whose bravery inspired thousands
Tributes have poured in for Corby teenager Max Hall after his family announced that he had sadly died on Saturday 8th August following a battle with an inoperable brain tumour.
Fourteen year old Max's health journey inspired thousands of people online after his family shared honest updates about his illness whilst fundraising for specialist treatment abroad.
In a tribute shared to the 'United For Max' Facebook page, his family described Max as "our son, our boy, our everything" and spoke of the immense love they will always have for him.
They said: "His name will be spoken. His story will be told. His beautiful smile will never be forgotten.
"We are so unbelievably proud of you, Max. Proud of the boy you were, proud of the strength you showed, proud of the courage you carried, and proud that we were lucky enough to call you our son."
Thousands have reacted online to Max’s passing, with heartfelt messages and tributes flooding Facebook. Many, including strangers who followed his journey online, have shared their sadness at the news of his death.
Max's family tribute reflected on the precious memories they shared together and the lasting impact Max had on everyone around him.
"Every cuddle, every laugh, every argument, every silly moment, every memory, every second of your life was worth the pain we feel now.
"We would choose you. We would choose every single day with you. We would choose our boy. And we would do it all again, just to have you back."
"Our son. Our boy. Our everything. Our Max. Forever 14."
They added: "You fought harder than any child should ever have had to fight.
"You can finally rest.
"We love you more than you will ever know.''
Following the announcement, messages of support and remembrance have been shared across social media, with many remembering Max's courage, kindness and infectious smile.
Max was diagnosed in late 2025 after suffering two seizures shortly after his 14th birthday. Scans revealed an inoperable, terminal brain tumour after more than a year of headaches that had initially been thought to be migraines.
Max had a huge love for football and was a devoted Manchester United supporter. He was able to visit Old Trafford and take part in a stadium tour – a day his family described as a "magical" experience they would "hold onto forever".
His love of Oasis remained a constant throughout his illness, with his mum Jackie saying he regularly listened to the band's songs during treatment.
Throughout Max's illness, his family campaigned for greater investment in brain tumour research and treatment, with local MP Lee Barron raising Max's story in Parliament and calling for more support for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
Max's family said he would continue to be loved by all those whose lives he touched, including his family, friends, school and wider community.
In an online tribute his family said: "If we were given the chance to do it all again, knowing the heartbreak waiting for us at the end, we would. Every single time."
A memorial is due to take place at Abbey Field in Corby at 6.30pm on Friday, where candles will be lit and Max's favourite music will be played as the community comes together to remember him.
