"Following a battle with cancer, Seventh-day Adventist music legend Max Mace passed to his rest November 4, 2020, one day before his 83rd birthday. His family said Mace was home in Placerville, California, United States, when he died.
In 1971, Mace and his wife, Lucy, who survives, formed the Heritage Singers, devoted to Christian music. Both Seventh-day Adventists, the Maces wanted to bring contemporary harmonies to their fellow believers. Over the next five decades, the Heritage Singers would employ an aggregate of 300 singers—generally eight at a time—and hold concerts in more than 80 nations. The number of people who saw them in person likely numbers in the millions, a figure multiplied exponentially by those who heard their recordings on vinyl, CD, or over the airwaves.
Daughter Val Mace-Mapa noted the group has over 200,000 Facebook followers, and that news of Max’s passing brought more than 1,000,000 comments on the Heritage page. She remembered her father as someone who was “the most forgiving. He always wanted to make sure that if there was a wrong, that it was made right. When he forgave, he never remembered the offense.”
