The Maxwell Truman Chambers Bench

Frontal view of the Maxwell Truman Chamber's bench with words engraved into it that reads as follows: "Remembering the limitless capacities of the heart, the power of laughter, what it means to be a True-man, and to live life to the Max."

Maxwell Truman Chambers was a student at the University of Cincinnati. He attended UC’s College-Conservatory of Music; majoring in Musical Theatre. Maxwell passed away on August 13th, 2015, in Pensacola Florida, and was laid to rest in Marietta Georgia later that month. 

Max starred in multiple lead roles in his tragically brief career, including “Les Miserables” and “West Side Story.” Max was described by the mother of a former classmate as “one of the most talented young men you have ever heard, met, and seen.”

Maxwell’s family has since set up the Maxwell Truman Chambers Scholarship Fund for students.

While the path the photgrapher is on continues to a set of stairs leading away from campus. A tree sits over the bench providing a lovely source of shade for any passerby's wanting to take a moment to sit down.
