Born on March 6, 2006, Jaxon was a student at Kate Duncan Smith DAR School.
He was admired for his positive attitude, joyful personality, and the way he brought happiness to those around him.

Reflecting on his memory, the Miracle League of Albertville shared a heartfelt post on Facebook.
We come to you with heavy hearts as we share the passing of one of our Miracle League athletes, Jaxon Guffey.Jaxon had a million-dollar smile that could light up the Miracle Field and the hearts of everyone around him. Over his four seasons with us, he played with the Mud Hens, the Trash Pandas, the Royals, and the Pirates. Jaxon especially loved being pushed around the bases — the faster, the better — and his biggest smiles often came when a Snead State baseball player was the one giving him that thrilling ride. His joy was contagious to all who watched.
According to the Miracle League, in the spring of 2026, Jaxon was honored as the first recipient of the Grand Slam Kam Award.
The award was a recognition that celebrates not only a player’s love for the game but also the joy and inspiration they bring to others.
Although little is known about his family, it is evident that Jaxon had siblings and a loving family, as indicated by his mother, Nicole Guffey’s, Facebook profile.
Rest in peace, young soul!
