In Memoriam

Remembering Our Founder, John (Max) Rose

June 28, 1932 – February 22, 2026

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Max Rose passed away on Sunday, February 22nd, at 93 years young. Max began his career in the drywall industry in 1956 in Broomfield, Colorado. He started by unloading railcars onto flatbed trucks for a local lumber yard. In the 1970s, he joined L&W Supply and went on to open a new yard for the company in Gillette, Wyoming, in 1978.

In 1980, Max moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, where he opened a new location for Drywall Supply Inc. Five years later, in 1985, he established another yard in Grand Junction for Pioneer Materials.

In 1995, he was invited to become the third partner in Outwest Drywall Supply a testament to his leadership, integrity, and dedication to the industry. Max made a lasting impact on countless colleagues, customers, friends, and community members. He will be deeply missed by many.
