Xavier Thomas Anthney Packingham, 18, just a few weeks away from being 19 of Graham, NC passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2025. Born on November 14, 2006, Xavier was a senior at Southern Alamance High School, where he was known for his humor, kindness, and big, beautiful smile.

Xavier loved his friends, music, and being outdoors. He was a jokester, a goofball, and a loyal friend - a young man with an old soul and a heart full of compassion. He cared deeply, loved fiercely, and was always ready to help others, whether they were lifelong friends or strangers. To know Xavier was to be touched by his warmth, laughter, and genuine kindness.

He will be forever loved and missed by those whose lives he brightened - especially his mom and sister, who will carry his light in their hearts always.

A celebration of Xavier's life will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 5:00pm at Rich and Thompson Funeral Service in Graham, so that his classmates and friends may join in honoring him. The family invites everyone who attends to share a memory or story that reflects the laughter, love, and joy Xavier brought into the world.
