Jaxon is the most fun-loving and happy kid we know. No one can ever remember him being upset, mad, angry, or mean. He had dreams of playing college basketball. He was working hard to attain that. Everyone marveled at the shots he could make and his beautiful shooting form and stroke. He could make anyone laugh. He made everyone love him and he loved them back. Jaxon could always get out of trouble with his mom by giving her a hug and a smile. We are so grateful to the countless friends, teammates, and coaches that both our boys played ball with. They had the time of their lives. The only thing that they loved more was their family and friends. Daulton loved to challenge his friends and "make memories". Jaxon too loved to challenge his friends and "go on adventures". Now they will do it together in the heavens. We know how much you will miss your mom. Recently, you argued over which one of you she loved the most. It is both of you! She is going to miss the endless and precious talks with both of you. Daulton, she will miss driving you up to 7-11 late at night just so you could hang out with her and didn't have to drive. Jaxon, she will miss making you dinner late at night just so you could talk to her while she cooked and you ate. As a family, we would hang-out together and talk, laugh, play, and watch movies and sports together in mom and dad's bedroom. We loved to play volleyball and basketball, swim, go to 7-11 for a Mountain Dew, shopping, and going to the movies together. We have no regrets and we know you don't either. We love you for eternity and will miss you until we meet again!
