The Australian influencer and father of one gained widespread recognition on social media, sharing fitness tips and personal insights that captivated over 225,000 followers on Instagram.
Fans are paying tribute to him following the heartbreaking news of his passing.
One follower wrote, โRest in peace, Jaxon. You were taken too soon.โ
Another shared, โRIP. Your inspiration will be deeply missed by all of us.โ
Another person shared, โRIP, brother. Gone too soon.โ
A fourth commented, โYou were a huge inspiration to me. I will miss you deeply.โ
Tippetโs family confirmed the heartbreaking news in an Instagram statement, saying, โIt is with a heavy heart that we share our beloved Jaxon passed away on November 10, 2024.
He was a beautiful soul who brought a positive impact to the world.โ
Just before his untimely passing, Tippet posted a reflective message on Instagram, sharing the valuable lessons he had learned over the years.
One particularly heartbreaking line has resonated deeply with followers in light of his passing: โGrowing old beats the alternativeโdying young.โ
Even more devastatingly, he added, โThe best is yet to comeโฆโ
Tippetโs journey was marked by significant challenges, which he openly discussed, including a past struggle with anabolic steroid addiction.
While anabolic steroids have legitimate medical uses, they are often misused to build lean muscle massโa practice that can pose serious health risks, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
His former addiction reportedly brought legal troubles and created major setbacks in his career and personal life.
In 2017, Tippet was arrested after authorities found over 250 steroid tablets and vials of testosterone in his possession, resulting in a $4,000 fine, according to News.com.au.
In a 2022 interview on the Good Humans podcast, Tippet reflected on his experiences, describing the ordeal as destructive.
He shared (according to the Mirror), โIt was hell, bro. I lost a girlfriend over it. I nearly lost my family. I almost went to jail after getting caught with my own personal use of steroids.โ
He wanted to guide others away from a similar fate by sharing his story.
Tippetโs family shared the news on Instagram, revealing that the 30-year-old passed away during a family vacation in Turkey.
It is believed that the influencer passed away from a heart attack.
A GoFundMe page has been created to raise funds for bringing Tippet back home.
The fundraiser’s description states: “There are truly no words to express this kind of pain, and we know many will share in this heartbreak with us, as he was loved by so many.”
“Jaxon would help anyone and everyone around him, and now we hope to rally around Sharee and Mark to offer any support we can, starting with raising the funds to bring our son, brother, uncle, and friend home, as well as assist with funeral expenses.”
The GoFundMe campaign aims to raise $55,000.
