It’s with the heaviest of hearts I share for the family the unexpected passing of sweet Jaxson.
Jaxson Alexander Simon, passed away after 7 years after battling a complex medical condition. Jaxson was the bright light that held our family together. His smile would light up the darkest of rooms. Even on his bad days you could see the shine in his eyes. On November 13, 2025 Jaxson lost that shine and was pronounced deceased at Jeff Gordon’s children’s hospital in Concord NC. With his mother (China Simon), stepfather (Matthew Hatley), grandfather (Jock Simon) and little brother (Maxwell Simon) by his side. He was met at the golden gate by his grandmother(Joyce Simon) and uncle (Alexander Simon)
Jaxson wasn’t your typical kid. He had a fight about him that was untouchable! He was strong, brave and even more stubborn. His favorite trick was to play with the doctor’s intelligence. He always thought he would get the last laugh. We can’t thank his team of doctors enough for everything that they have done to give everyone the past 7 years to love on the sweetest little boy!
At this time there are no words. How do you put into words that half of your heart was ripped out of your chest? How do you express the emptiness a mother feels inside her soul? China did not choose to be a mother, motherhood choose her when she was blessed 7 years ago with Jaxson. Jaxson fought a hard fight. He overcame challenges that would make grown adults crumble. He stood toe to toe with every single obstacle and won.
He was so loved and so cherished. There will forever be a “stinker butt” size hole in his families heart. There will be no denying how beautiful life can be because they were blessed with 7 years with Jaxson.
At this time the family has no funeral arrangements set but once they do we will let everyone know. I do know we will have a service in NC and one in MD so everyone can come and not have to stress about traveling too far.
China and Matt will be taking a few weeks off of work to handle arrangements and services. As a first responders this is going to take a huge hit to them financially. If anyone would like to make a monetary donation to the family it is GREATLY APPRECIATED but not necessary! All they ask for at this time is your thoughts and prayers to this amazing family as they navigate this new life without Jaxson.
