I’m Mark’s (Bigshotmaxxx) brother. I sat near him for years, most time late nights, as he read different materials as he “capped” his sports. Not so much in the last few years but a while back he was an everyday poster here on therx. Although he, to the best of my knowledge, hadn’t met very many of you in person... he always had this thought that readers on this forum counted on him. I tried many times over the years to tell him that this was just a forum to post your own plays to keep a personal record of how u are doing... he for some reason thought that some of you counted on him!!

Perhaps some of u did. For those that did follow him you probably remember him going through periods of sobriety and periods of struggle... he wasn’t very secretive of his disease. When he was sober he helped hundreds... when he was using he hurt many, most of all himself. I’m posting this information about marks death because his gambling addiction was just as damaging as his drug and alcohol abuse.... keep yourself in check folks. Be honest with yourselves... if your having a gambling addiction and it’s spiraling out of control then perhaps you should get help. I do believe mark tried his best but a few days ago we found him in a hotel with a spike in his arm... he tried his best... I truly believe he did. But his gambling, drug sex, and alcoholic addiction killed him... please please please don’t let it happen to you!!

I remember Maxx well. Good dude, posted tons of plays. Probably 1000s of them.

This sucks to hear, hope his family is doing the best they can. RIP
