He was 46. He had battled leukemia several times in his life and, at one point, even left council for nearly four months as he fought a relapse of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, before returning in early 2012. Khan worked with the Town of Oakville for nine years and was elected to his third term on council during the 2014 municipal election.

The street named in his honour will be located north of Dundas Street in the vicinity of Eighth Line. "We keep people alive by being what we liked in them. I ask you to do everyday, everything you can to keep Max alive and to help you, council and I are naming a street for him," said Burton to thunderous applause. "Since colonial times the Dundas road has been a major thoroughfare for our province and so everyday countless numbers of people drive it and will see this sign...This street sign will make the world better and cause people to ask us and we will tell them who this man was." Khan's brother Mansoor said his family is deeply moved by the Town's tribute. "This is such a generous gesture on behalf of Residents, friends and business associates of the late Max Khan, former Ward 6 councillor, joined in a commemorative event, hosted by the Khan family in the South Atrium of Town Hall Tuesday evening.
