This just got released ...
From Mike Wadowski and family-
To all MAXIMUS HRT clients and all who knew, cared about, and loved Chip Wadowski -
Chip Wadowski passed away May 15th at the age of 37. As you all know, Chip was the founder, owner, and president of Maximus HRT. More than that, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, and a friend. What some of you may and may not know is that Chip Wadowski WAS MY brother. He was my hero, and he was my mentor - not just in this business, but in my life. Sadly, our parents have already passed away, so Chip leaves behind me, our loving sister, brother-in-law, and 4 nephews. He also leaves behind a legacy and a business - Maximus HRT that will continue to thrive as I will continue to run Maximus HRT in his honor.
My family asks that you respect Chips memory now and always. The speculation and rumors that have swirled around Chip the last few months are uncalled for and mostly untrue. While Chip had some minor - YES minor legal issues from a few years back, nothing - i repeat NOTHING was as bad as some speculated and made it out to be. the truth is that what Chip was dealing with personally was NO ONES business. It had NOTHING to do with Maximus or the industry as a whole. The sad truth is that Chip Wadowski was scheduled to be back in the fold and back running Maximus daily sometime between next month and this coming De***ber. Chip was an innocent man with a huge heart - and that is the way he died.
CHIP WADOWSKI did a tremendous amount of good, wonderful,positive things for this industry and for ************ as a whole. Chip was REAL with each and every one of you. He opened up his heart and made himself vulnerable to every one of us. He was HONEST. He was TRUE to himself and each of us. CHIP revealed his true story to each of us and allowed all of us to relate to him on a personal level. CHIP WADOWSKI CARED. Chip opened his heart to everyone and he TRULY wanted to help as many people as he possibly could in this world. The impact that Chip had on my life and yours is immeasurable. The clients of Maximus are not just clients - you are ALL FRIENDS. THAT is how CHIP ran his business. That is the way I will continue to run Maximus HRT.
How or what exactly happened to Chip will not be discussed and I respectfully ask that no one puts their speculation into words. Just understand that Chip passed away, and a HUGE hole is left in all of us.
I ask that you all take a moment and express your sentiments towards CHIP WADOWSKi - he truly helped so many of us, and I believe that was his purpose on this Earth.
To my big brother, CHIP -
God Bless you BRO. I know you are with me always, and I know you are reading this. I know you are in Heaven, and i know you can see all.
I love you Chip. You have meant more to me than any words can say. I can honestly say I would not be where I am in my life without my big brother behind me every step of the way. Chip, the lessons you taught me will stay with me forever. The love you gave me will live in me forever. I can truly say God blessed me with the best brother anyone can have, and I thank God that he gave me you, as my brother.
Rest in piece, Chip. I love you. I respect you. I admire you. I got your back, bro.
