Oother adds: “RIP. We will all miss your inspiration!”
“RIP brother,” somebody else says. “Gone too soon.”
A fourth person comments: “You were a huge inspiration to me. I will miss you a lot.”
Tippet’s family confirmed the heartbreaking news, with an Instagram statement reading: “It’s with a heavy heart that our beloved Jaxon has passed away on Nov 10th, 2024. He was such a beautiful soul and had such a positive impact on the world.”
Shortly before Tippet’s untimely death, he took to Instagram and shared a reflective message in which he shared the lessons he’d learned over the years.
One particularly tragic line has caught followers’ attention in light of his passing, it reads: “Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.”
Devastatingly, another line says: “The best is yet to come…”
Tippet’s journey was marked by significant challenges, which he openly discussed, including a past addiction to anabolic steroids.
Anabolic steroids have legitimate medical purposes, however, they are commonly misused to build lean muscle mass, which can be harmful to health, per the Cleveland Clinic.
His prior addiction reportedly led to legal troubles and caused major setbacks in both his career and personal life.
Tippet was arrested in 2017 after being found with over 250 steroid tablets and vials of testosterone, resulting in a $4,000 fine, reports News.com.au.
The influencer reflected on his experiences in a 2022 interview for the Good Humans podcast, describing the ordeal as destructive.
Tippet said (per the Mirror): “It was hell, bro. I lost a girlfriend off it. I nearly lost my family off it. I nearly went to jail as I got caught with my own personal use of steroids.”
He hoped to steer others from a similar path by sharing his story.
Tippet’s family took to Instagram and disclosed that the 30-year-old died on a family holiday in Turkey.
It’s believed the influencer died from a heart attack.
The fundraiser’s description reads: “There really are no words to describe this sort of pain, and we know a lot of people will be feeling this heartbreak with us as he was loved by so many.
The GoFundMe aims to raise $55,000.
