Jaxon McDonald
Beloved Son | Brave Fighter | Joyful Spirit
With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our precious son, Jaxon McDonald, who left this world at just 3 years old after bravely fighting for his life for 20 months in the hospital. Jaxon passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, and is now free from pain and suffering.
Though his time with us was far too short, Jaxon brought an immeasurable amount of happiness, light, and joy to everyone who knew him. His strength, bravery, and resilience were nothing short of incredible. Even through the toughest days, he smiled brightly, danced to his favorite songs, and lit up every room he entered.
Jaxon loved playing with his toy cars and running around with boundless energy whenever he had the chance. Now, we imagine him in heaven—healthy and whole again—playing freely, laughing, and dancing the way he always loved to do.
He taught us what it means to be strong, to be joyful in the face of adversity, and to love unconditionally. Jaxon will forever be our hero, and we will carry his memory and spirit in our hearts always.
He is deeply loved and will be missed beyond words by his family, friends, and all those who were lucky enough to witness his beautiful soul.
The McDonald family will receive family and friends on Thursday April 24, 2025 from 11am to 2pm.
The Cesana family will receive family and friends on Thursday April 24, 2025 from 4pm to 7pm.
