""His father picked him up and went up to the parking lot with him in his arms to get some help," Kessler said. "They did everything they could.""
""He was always a joyful, energetic 5-year-old and always having fun, loved everybody. He had just actually started kindergarten a couple of weeks ago," Kessler said. "The family's just heartbroken that they're not going to see him grow up.""
""My friends are not ones to ask for anything from anyone, but we know they need any support they can get," Holloway wrote on the page."
"As the only child to his parents, Max was their "biggest joy in life and a blessing they couldn't have wanted more," Holloway said."
On a late August afternoon at Rincon Beach in Ventura, 5-year-old Maxwell Haworth slipped while climbing rocks and a boulder fell on him. His father carried him to the parking lot to seek help and emergency responders tried to save him; Maxwell died later that day at a local hospital. Maxwell had just started kindergarten and was the only child of his parents. Family friend Bryan Holloway organized a GoFundMe for funeral costs and support; nearly 650 donations from across the country raised more than $65,000 in less than ten days.
