Saxon X. Hill

Saxon Xavier Hill

February 3rd, 1988 – April 21st, 2026

Saxon…

In the journey of death, we say they have passed away, and they call those of us left here survivors. Saxon is not one to consider us survivors, but pieces of a puzzle placed through their life. Some parts were groups you make while trying to build the edges of the puzzle. Other pieces were jagged and broken, had no place to fit, but they had to be there—even the worst parts. Other pieces were a beacon, a bright light, an exquisite display on the table, placed gently along the insides of the edges of that puzzle Saxon curated. There’s not an incomplete piece of art left for us…

Saxon blessed this life with a legacy: Francis Randall Hill and Quinton Logan Hill. Two small, mighty, miraculous little boys.

Saxon loved Makayla the way a poet aches for paper and pen, in the way many will yearn for. Saxon loved Makayla fearlessly. She loved a terminally ill man without question. Their greatest accomplishment was their family. Saxon’s life’s joy was their two sons and wife.

— Atticus

Have you ever smelled a smell that brings you back to a moment from your youth? I always loved that feeling. I hope that’s what death is—just sitting on clouds, smelling old smells.
