Maxim Soria, founding member and former drummer for the alternative rock band Valencia, has died. He passed away last Friday, September 30th, in a motorcycle accident. Maxim was only 28 years old."We always knew Max as being one of the most meticulous and cautious people we’ve ever met, and hearing the news and processing it over the past few days has been incredibly hard for all of us. We’d like to thank everyone that has been reaching out to us during this difficult time. (...) We toured with Max for seven years, but even after he left the band, he remained a big part in all of our lives. (...) We will always appreciate the chance we had to be surrounded by such a bright, caring, talented, and intelligent person."
A public service and remembrance will be held in Max’s honor this Wednesday and Thursday, October 5th and 6th at Shelly Funeral Home and St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Warrington, Pennsylvania.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Maxim Soria Memorial Fund. This memorial fund will benefit impoverished children living in the Philippines.
If you are able to, please join Valencia and the Soria family in paying respects and celebrating Max Soria’s life.
