Norris Max Clubb

Max Clubb passed away at the VA hospital, September 22, 2022 surrounded by his high school sweetheart and loving children. Max was born January 3, 1941 in Walcott Arkansas. He met his wife, Ernestine at Oak Grove High School in Paragould, Arkansas. After high school Max joined the Navy. He was immensely proud of his time in the “gator navy” during the Vietnam War where he would transport Marines and Navy SEALs to and from landing zones. Max and family moved to Asheville, North Carolina in 1971 due to his instrumental role in starting RCA’s antenna manufacturing facility in Swannanoa. He worked as a design engineer for RCA and as Director of Research and Development of Engineering for Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack). During his tenure with RCA and Tandy Corporation Max held several patents on antenna designs. Max was a proud and faithful member of Biltmore church of Christ for over 40 years where he also served as a Deacon. Nothing can compare to the love Max had for the Lord and his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were the light of his life and he the light of theirs.

Max is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Serene Clubb, and his brothers Bill, Tommy, and Curtis Clubb. He is survived by his wife, Ernestine Austin Clubb, his daughter Pam (Dwayne) Clubb Maxell and son Tim (Lisa) Clubb. His Grandchildren, Amber (Glenn) Alford, Tiffany (Ben) Canada, Michael (Alexandra) Carter, Katelyn and Brady Clubb, his great-grandchildren Miles and Lilly Alford, Grace and Rhett Carter. He is also survived by a brother, Carl Clubb (Dianna) of Silva, Missouri and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers please send donations in honor of Max Clubb to the Wounded Warriors Project.
