Jaxon Oliver Brown
May 19, 2021
Jaxon Oliver Brown, a 7th generation Texan, was the 4x great grandson of James Edward Clark. Jaxon was born on May 19, 2019, in Palo Pinto County, Texas to Zachary Brown and Cassandra Macomber.
His Daddy had chosen his name. His first name, “Jaxon”, came from Zach’s favorite television character at the time (“Sons of Anarchy”) and “Oliver” came from the superhero, Oliver Queen – A.K.A. The Green Arrow.
Jaxon died suddenly on November 9, 2021, at only 2 ½ years old. But he experienced a great deal in such a short amount of time. He traveled all over Texas and visited places like Johnson Space Center, The Alamo, Padre Island and several Texas State Parks. He had grown very familiar with the Buc ee’s sign and knew it meant freedom from the car-seat and snacks. When he wasn’t traveling, he was a regular patron to many of Weatherford’s city parks.

Virginia Beach May 2021
He loved being outside but especially when there was a body of water for him to play in. He was a frequent visitor to the Weatherford Lake Boardwalk and was even there the day it opened in April 2020. His favorite body of water was by far the beach, any beach. His eyes would light up and his beaming smile would radiate from one ear to the other when he watched the waves roll in and hit his feet. He was fortunate enough to have visited three different beaches during family vacations, those being: Galveston Island, Corpus Christi and Virginia Beach. But whenever “The Beach” wasn’t possible, local splash pads and the City Beach at Lake Granbury made for good substitutes. He loved the water so much that he even had his own personal water park in his backyard.
Fort Worth Zoo April 2021
Jaxon also had a tremendous love and fascination with animals. He was fortunate to have lived during the Covid Pandemic. Both of his parent’s jobs were affected by the government shutdowns so this gave Jaxon more time to spend with them than he would have had during “normal” times. He lived equally between his two homes in Mineral Wells and Weatherford. But on weeks when he was with his Daddy, he would take a walk every night to Clark Cemetery and they would stop along the way to visit the chickens, the puppies, and the pigs. He also visited The Texas State Aquarium, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Sea Quest Aquarium, he went on a dolphin tour in Galveston Bay and frequently visited the Fort Worth Zoo. And his first birthday party was planned around a trip to Dinosaur World in Glenrose, Texas. But Jaxon also had several pets of his own, a dog, a rabbit, and fish.

He was very energetic and the typical little boy in that he loved “pew pews”, trucks, dirt, Legos and airplanes. But he also loved to entertain family with his singing and dancing. Mostly he just sang the last word of every line of the song, but he did it in a very dramatic way. And when he sang or shook his booty, he expected everyone in the room to join him. He would also grab people by their shirt tail and lead them into his room to play with his toys with him. Jaxon loved being around and interacting with people. He was very sweet and loved everyone.

At an early age it was evident that he was very adventurous. Jaxon barely kept his feet on the floor. He would climb on anything he could including tables, chairs, counter tops, boxes and toys. Anything and everything became a ladder or stepping stool to him. He had to explore everything and there were no barriers that could contain him. He learned to unlatch the child locks on the cabinet doors as soon as he learned to stand up. Child gates did little more than slow him down. And he could climb in and out of his crib as easily as he could walk down the hall. He was fearless. Not many 2-year old's have flown in a WWII airplane over downtown Fort Worth.

Jaxon was very independent. Even as an infant he preferred to do things for himself. If you were feeding him with a spoon, then he would take it away from you and do it himself. And if you read a book to him then he would also take it away and “read” it himself. But on the other hand, he also liked to help other people. He would help clean up, carry in groceries, cook, work on cars, and make coffee every morning.
Jaxon was also extremely intelligent. Even before he could talk, he seemed to understand everything everyone was saying. And once he did learn to talk, he became a sponge. He loved learning new things. He knew his ABC’s and could count to 20. You could teach him something new and not mention it again for weeks and he would still remember it. The only word he had a hard time understanding was the word “no” and that was only when it was spoken to him. He seemed to understand it just fine when he said it.

Jaxon could also be very funny and would often catch family off guard with his seemingly mature but yet appropriate verbal responses and actions. He had also learned how to talk to Google in the car. But luckily for everyone else in the car, Google couldn’t quite understand the utterance of a two-year-old - “Hey Google, play Moana soundtrack”.
Jaxon also loved the holidays and special events. He visited the pumpkin patch, went trick or treating as Batman, helped decorate Easter eggs, helped shoot off fireworks, and helped decorate the Christmas tree. The more people that were around the happier he was. It gave him a greater audience for his comical displays. He also attended many events at Heritage Park including concerts and movie nights,

Jaxon was a ham in front of the camera. After his death family gathered all the photos of him from cameras, clouds, and cellphones. And in his short 2 ½ years, there has been over 8,000 pictures and videos taken of him to go along with all the cherished memories. The number of photos and videos alone says a lot about how much of an impact Jaxon had on everyone that knew him. However, Jaxon’s greatest impact in this world came after his passing. After his unexpected death, the difficult decision to donate his organs was made. It is known that his kidney’s went to a 25 year old male, his liver went to a 6-month old little boy and Jaxon’s heart went to a 5-year-old little girl, all from Texas. Jaxon Oliver Brown was a superhero.
