Jaxon Thomas Marshall, known affectionately as “Jax,” at 7 months, he passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 12, 2024 at Sharon Hospital in Sharon, CT. Born on November 29, 2023 in Poughkeepsie, NY he was the son of Jesse and Samantha Marshall. Jax's life was brief, but he was loved endlessly. From the time Charleigh Marshall, Jax’s loving, caring, and affectionate big sister, found out she was going to have a sibling, she began developing a relationship with him. This started with her talking to Jax in her mother’s stomach, telling him about the world that awaits him. Through the battles at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), no matter how long the day or how late the night, Charleigh was the first to say “let’s go, are we going to see Jax’s” despite the distance. When the NICU war was finally over and he had won the battles in order to to come home, her uncontainable excitement, joy, and happiness is out of this world. From the time he came home until the time he got his wings, her patience, caring, helping, loving soul is unimaginable, to his first bathe, to his first bottle. Every ounce of her soul she would lovingly give to her little brother from having mommy and daddy talk as if we were Jaxon, sing to him, hold him, tickling him, with certainty that we would see his joyous smile that would light up our days bad or good. Ultimately, everything imaginable she would do for her little handsome man, as she would say. She will forever hold him deep in her heart, thoughts, and prayers forever being her little handsome boy. She will never forget the booty bums, booger, stinky, handsome man, she’s always wanted. Our family enjoyed seven wonderful months with Jax. His cheerful personality could be felt by all those he’d met. From meeting his big sister, Charleigh Marshall, on December 5, 2023, to his triumphant departure from the NICU and long awaited arrival home on February 3, 2024, Jax's journey was continuously filled with resilience and hope. As a stay at home mom, Samantha poured love into her smiley son and his beautiful, older sister. As a hardworking and proud father, Jesse led his family on new adventures every chance he could. Jax’s love for the outdoors was evident. The joy he found in being outside with his family will continue to inspire those who remember him. Jax is survived by an extensive and loving family. His parents, Samantha and Jesse, his sister, Charleigh, as well as his numerous aunts and uncles: Sarah Messina, Kaylie Grieger, Rebecca Finning, Cari Cestone, Joseph Cestone Jr., Hunter Marshall, Shawn Marshall and Anthony Colagiovanni. He is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Kim Grieger and her husband, Kevin of Poughkeepsie; maternal grandfather, Thomas Messina of Montrose, NY and great maternal grandparents, George and Frances Thorbjorsen of Argyle, NY. He is also survived by his paternal grandfather, Tony Marshall of Wassaic, NY and paternal grandmother, Holly Cestone and her husband Joseph Sr., of Dover Plains, NY. Jax’s passing is a profound loss for the entire family. Jax exemplified the philosophy that "there’s always something to smile about,” which will remain as a reminder of his sunny disposition. Despite his short time with us, his legacy of abundant love and happiness reflects the significant impact he had on all who knew him. His cheery smile, joyous laughter, and fierce love for life will be deeply missed. For the happiness he brought to the lives of everyone who had the chance to meet him, Jaxon Thomas Marshall will forever be remembered as a ray of sunshine.
