As all of you know, Kathy and John Schaiberger passed within 18 months of each other. It’s been tough for our family (Javier, Susan, and kids). And a loss to the community.

Many tears have been shed. But, many more laughs have been shared. And memories that are impossible to forget.

On Saturday, September 23rd the Estate of John and Kathy Schaiberger will have a LIVE auction.

This is a great opportunity to find some unique items, antiques, equipment, tools, and more.

You might even find some Max’s Place stuff. Or even some beautiful painting by Kathy.

Please share this post with your friends and family. We will continue to share more updates as we get closer.

Javier and Susan

John F. Schaiberger died at the age of 75 on September 29th, 2022 peacefully in his home in Rye, CO.

John moved his family from West Branch, MI in 1985 to Beulah to take on a new position at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital, where he led a few departments for 14 years before realizing his true calling.

In 2000, John took a leap of faith by opening the widely popular Max’s Place in Colorado City. For nearly 20 years, Max’s Place served hundreds of thousands of meals to the community and frequent travelers along the I-25 corridor.

He was an active member of the Greenhorn Valley community helping with fundraising opportunities and becoming a volunteer board member of the Rye Fire Department.

His beautiful wife, Kathy M. Schaiberger passed away on January 18th, 2021. However, his legacy is survived by his amazing daughter, Susan E. Lozano, 2 incredible grandkids, Gabriel and Victoria, and his favorite son-in-law, Javier.

John also enjoyed spending time with his family, watching the Michigan Wolverines play football, or, on several occasions, using his dictionary-like brain to crush his family in an entertaining game of Scrabble.

He appreciated being with his dogs and horses, hunting, camping, and simply driving, exploring, and wandering the countryside.

John will be missed by so many people.

Services will be held 1pm Saturday, October 22nd at Brush Canyon Ranch in Rye. 8760 Old San Isabel Rd.
