Jax was born on June 29, 2012 to Justin and Amber McLawhorn. Blessed with a smile that would absolutely melt your heart, Jax had a passion for Mickey Mouse Club House, his music box that lulled him to sleep every night, and his big block music box.

His paternal grandparents, Aaron and Carla McLawhorn of New Bern; maternal great- grandparents, Harvey and Sally Rouse of Trenton; paternal great-grandmother, Jane McLawhorn of New Bern; his uncles, Zachary and Philip McLawhorn, both of New Bern; many aunts, uncles and cousins and special family friends Eddie "Big E" Jean "Mama Jean" Adams, and Bryan Cherry, along with their family pet Cletus.

Visitation will be held from 1:00 – 3:00 pm Sunday, March 23, 2014, followed by his funeral service at 3:00 pm at Cotten Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Greenleaf Memorial Park.

I pray for you and your family at this most difficult time. I have been "introduced" to you and Jax thru my sister Theresa Brown and have been following thru Facebook as well. I so enjoyed his beautiful smiles and I have shed tears for his passing. May you find comfort in knowing how many "strangers" you have both touched and have fallen in love with you all. God bless.

God must have something very special planned for Baby Jax. He was in so many prayers of so many ppl that never met him. Now the family is in our prayiers at this time of such loss.

Ramona Kearney

So many prayers have been prayed, I thought for sure he would be healed. But God had a better plan. Dr. David Jeremiah's sermon on television this morning was so appropriate for today - as though it had been designed for the family and loved ones of Baby Jax. Our only comfort is in knowing he is alive with Jesus and will be reunited with his family.

We are praying for strength, guidance, understanding and peace in this time of need for you and your family. We don't always understand the things that happen in our lives but Baby Jax was a blessing that God decided to share with you for just a little while. He was a blessing to all who knew him and I know that he is laughing and playing and suffering no longer in the arms of Jesus. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you all during this process. We love you and will continue to lift up your family in our thoughts and prayers. The Davis Family
