Jaxon Lawrence Obituary
Jaxon will be so missed by his parents – mother Jessica Austin and father Jacob Lawrence; his brothers Bryson Lawrence and Adyn Shull, and his sister, Ava Shull; his paternal grandparents Brian Lawrence, Steve and Constance Korzun; his maternal grandmother, Brenda Lanfear, and grandfather, Dan Pinkowski. He was predeceased by grandfather Burton Austin. He will be dearly missed by a wealth of great-grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and dear friends, all a part of Jaxon's close and passionately loving family, and a school community who adored him.
Jaxon had recently finished his second year in preschool and was soon to start life as a kindergartner at Shrewsbury Mountain School where everyone there was his best friend. Jaxon had an amazing capacity for love and an infectious smile and beautiful presence that absolutely impacted everyone he met. Everyone he knew, even if only for moments, received a good bye hug, often times, several. He was a brilliant and shining beacon of love and happiness.
He loved to get dirty and play outdoors, play rough with his brothers and create projects with his sister, pizza in bed for movie night snuggles with Mom and Dad. He was always very aware of the emotions of the people around him and at just five years old, it was important to him that they know he cares, and wanted them to be happy. Jaxon will be remembered with the same endless and unconditional love he gave to so many people.
A small and private ceremony will be held for family on Sunday, July 29, at 12 p.m. The family invites hearts big and small to a celebration of life to be held at Shrewsbury Mountain School from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (C.H.A.D.) in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Arrangements are under the direction of Clifford Funeral Home in Rutland.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Jake and Jess, Jaxon was the light of a life blessed enough to land on this earth for a moment. His influence will live with us forever. His spirit will guide us each day. How blessed we are. and because of this we are so sad.. but each day brings us the challenge to hold him up in our heart and emulate his love.

Jackson often ran up to say hi and visit with me and my little Chihuahua when I pick up Ellie. He was delightful and I am so sorry for your pain. Ellie told her Momma not to cry because he is ok and God is taking care of him. The faith of a child for her friend.

Jess and Jake, you and your family are in my thoughts daily. I know you have the strength in you to move mountains, and may that bring you through these times to better days. I never got to meet Jaxon, but I caught glimpses of him briefly every week and he was a beautiful child, happy and always smiling. You never know the right words to say when these things happen, but know that you and the kids are in my thoughts always.

I will never forget my first day as a new teacher in Jaxon's classroom. He came right over and sat next to me and started telling me about himself. He was so full of life and happinesses on that day and very day I saw him during the school year. He always had a great big smile and cheerful greeting in the morning. He had a passion for learning and loved school. He was kind and fair to his friends, and loved giving hugs to his teachers. He was creative, imaginative, and bright beyond his years. Jaxon was truly a ray of light in this world and I will never forget this special little boy ♥
My condolences, thoughts, and prayers to Jess, Jake, and the rest of the family.

We were so sadden to just find out that you lost both your selfless mother and loving little boy, Jaxon. Your mother took care of my father and all our family. She shared stories and made us smile. There are no words or acts that can take this pain away from your hearts. Please picture them loving and laughing together in Heaven.

I met Jaxon briefly and what a beautiful light he was, and yes his hugs were offered freely. Beyond that I'm lost for words.
But there aren't words to adequately convey my thoughts, nor would they help in lifting your spirits. Grief takes time and no one's grief are a like. So take your time, be gentle with yourselves and each other. Hold each other and remember to breathe.

There are no words to express my sympathy to the family. I will keep you all in my prayers in the days ahead. I'm deeply saddened and so very sorry for your loss.
