Max looks up to his older brother and is the only one initially ecstatic when learning that the two will be sharing a room together after Kimmy Gibbler and her daughter Ramona move in.

Of the Fuller children, Max is the only one who initially shares the closest bond with Ramona (though he does torment her in the aforementioned episode) and becomes upset when he learns in the episode "Love Is In The Air" that Ramona and Kimmy Gibbler will be moving out whenever Kimmy remarries Fernando and even begs her not to go through with the marriage as he doesn't want either of them to leave. 

D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Mother)

DJ-and-Max

D.J., Max, and Cosmo.

D.J. Fuller is Max's mother. Max seems to be very honest with his mother, as seen in The Legend of El Explosivo, when Jackson gets hurt on his skateboard, and Jackson makes Max promise not to tell D.J., however once D.J. asks Max what happened, he spills. The same thing happens minutes later in the episode when D.J. asks if Bobby Popko's parents are responsible, and Max tells her honestly that they are never home. D.J. is a very loving mother to Max, and all of her boys, but she can also get too over-protective as seen in multiple episodes.

Stephanie Tanner (Aunt)

Max and his Aunt Stephanie are really close, in fact, Stephanie is the one who assigned Max his nickname 'Mighty Max'.
