Precious baby Paxon Lee Duane Butcher, perfect son of Chad Butcher and Lanesia Garcia passed peacefully in their arms Nov. 13, 2014, with brother Bently by his side.
“Words or money cannot put a price on the heartache we feel,” his family writes. “Paxon was an angel the minute he entered mommy’s womb until he entered heaven. Paxon put a shiny bright smile and a warm heart full of love in everyone, everywhere he went. There are no answers to why God took him so soon, from such loving caring people but a simple reason ‘He was too beautiful for earth.’ This is why we were always told he was too beautiful. At 3 1/2 months, Paxon lived a life of adventure, fishing, hunting, vacationing but most of all he touched many lives near and far. His determined spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. ‘Never forgotten Angel sent from above.’”
Paxon was born on July 31, 2014, in Palmer.
A celebration of life is at 3:30 p.m., Nov. 23 at the Church on The Rock.
Surviving are his mother, Lanesia Garcia; father, Chad Butcher; brother, Bently Wilson; grandparent, Maryann Garcia; grandparents, Todd and Stacy Hecker; grandparent, Robert Butcher, all of Wasilla; and many aunts and uncles, cousins, great grandparents, and friends.
