Jaxon Andrew Lantz

Infant Jaxon Andrew Lantz, 4 months old, passed away at 10:32 a.m., Monday, December 7, 2015 at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital. Jaxon was born on July 24, 2015 at Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne and he was the son of Tadd and Emily (Romine) Lantz. At birth, he weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 18- long.



Three hours after Jaxon was born, he was flown by helicopter to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. Late in November, he was transferred to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital. Jaxon, lovingly called Jax, was such a strong little fighter each and every day. He loved snuggle time with his momma; he loved watching Sunday afternoon football with his daddy; and he loved watching his mobile friends. Jax, with his adorable face and big brown eyes, melted the hearts of everyone. Jaxon touched so many people in his short life!
