Jax Taylor’s Father Has Died

December 29, 2017 by tamaratattles 11 Comments


Yesterday, I noticed that Brittany was asking for prayers for Jax and his family, and it was clear to me that his father was nearing the end of his fight with cancer. Brittany and Jax were in Kentucky for Christmas again this year and they usually head down to Florida afterward. Britanny got to see the new baby girl her brother and sister-in-law had after their IVF fundraiser. Jax got news that his sister Jenny is engaged. It seemed like they were really enjoying Christmas.

Today Jax posted that he has indeed passed away. 

Jax’s Dad

Where do I begin… I lost the best man I knew yesterday, he was my best friend. I didn’t go a day with out texting him a pointless question that usually drove him nuts, but I know he loved it. My dad loved his family more than anything in the world he was the “perfect father” and wanted everyone to get along and be happy. Cancer took my dad way too soon but I have to hope and pray that god has a bigger plan for him. The two things other than his family he loved more than anything were Detroit redwings hockey and cars.. He was a simple man that didn’t speak much but when he did you listened. I’ll never forget the 5am hockey practices to windsor Canada on the weekends, the numerous hockey tournaments, and the little talks we had if I had a bad game. He was always there for every practice and every game. When I came to Florida to visit it was like seeing my best friend all the time, our countless fishing trips and pub crawls going to hockey games in tampa. “ drove him crazy cuz tampa would always beat Detroit” yes my parents lived in tampa but Detroit Michigan is my fathers home. My father never said one word that was negative, he helped so many people young and old…. I could go on and on. I love you dad, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, I am so proud to be your son. Don’t worry I’ll walk jenny down the isle this summer but we are gonna need your help from above bud. Last thing.. thank you dad, thank you for giving me everything I needed in life with out a question. I hope one day I can be half the father you are. Love you so much dad… ✝️ also thank you to my amazing “rock” my girlfriend Brittany, I couldn’t and can’t do any of this with out you. My father loved you so much as well, thank you for being who you are and for helping me deal with all this, you are my angel and you always will be. ? Thank you so so much to everyone who has reached out. I haven’t been in a place to respond to everyone but it means so much. #fuckcancer

Losing your same sex parent is always a life changing event. Perhaps this will expedite Jax’s road to maturity.

    My condolences. I lost my Mother to cancer, she was only 54. That was 28 years ago and although time helps the pain, the emptiness remains. Jax and his family are in my prayers.

    Poor Jax. he’s such an annoying sob but I really do feel for him about this. Dad passed 15 years ago and Mother passed this past year. Gotta tell ya, even though Mother and I had quite a head-butting type of relationship it really hit me so much harder this time with her death. Maybe part of it is the deer in headlights reality that both of my parents are now gone forever which leaves me feeling exposed and vulnerable since I no longer have their advice and moral support to protect me. I have to say it’s a little scary. Point being, I sympathise with how his emotions might be on this very sad day for him.

      Thank you for sharing ~~~I have to confess that I am scared of losing my parents too and you put my fears into words perfectly. Mine are in their early 80’s and both active and in relative good health but it’s always looming in the back of my mind.

      My prayers go to Jax’s family. Their holidays will never be the same now.

    Unfortunately, this will probably be used as an excuse for all his future eff ups.

    RIP Jax’s dad.

    This is an eloquent and heartfelt message from Jax. It shows he has more emotional depth than he might let us know. Very sorry to hear this news.

    As a person who lost several loved ones to really ugly battles with cancer this year, I’m not going to comment. It’s awful.
