It’s one of their favorite pictures of Jaxen — taken on one of his better days. Wrapped in a blanket, warm, safe, and smiling that sweet Jaxen smile. 🤍

Last night, at just 10 years old, Jaxen passed away at Children’s of Alabama as his mother, Randa, held him close and whispered the bravest words a parent can ever say: “Don’t be scared to leave us.” 💔

After years of battling metastatic cancer, his fight finally gave way to peace.

Jaxen was autistic, non-verbal, and a warrior in every sense. He was fiercely loved by his family and by the many people who proudly called themselves Jaxen’s Army. 💛

As Randa now faces the unimaginable task of planning her son’s funeral, please lift this family in prayer, surround them with love, and hold them close in your hearts. 🙏🕯️
