Paxton Joseph Brabant

Paxton Joseph Brabant (4-1-1996), went to be with those he lost on 6-25-2022. He was preceded in death by Dorothy Brabant (grandmother), Eileen Masseau (grandmother), Ronald Brabant (grandfather). He is survived by his mother, Sarah Brabant; father, Stuart Brabant (Robin); sister, Payton Brabant; Hayden Anderson (life partner), Myles Brabant (son), Thomas Masseau (grandfather), Angie Masseau (aunt), Tom Masseau (uncle), Penny Masseau (aunt), Brenda Masseau (aunt), Ronald Brabant (uncle) (Amy Brabant), Allyson Chambers (aunt), and his beloved cousins, Tommy Masseau, Nate Masseau, Sam Masseau, LaRissa Rodgers (Marley Rodgers), Briana Masseau, Ariella Gallegos, Vincent Masseau, Jake Brabant, Emily Brabant, Jenna Baker, Robyn Davalos, Allyssa Chambers and Marley Chambers.

Paxton was charismatic, unforgettable, loving, beautiful, warm, unique, funny, innovative, a free spirit, a free thinker and a kind soul. His name was picked out when his mother was just twelve years old. He was Paxton and his name will forever be remembered. As a toddler, he would always ask the question “Why”? He wanted answers for everything, and he was on a mission throughout his life to figure them out and did so on his own way. He loved his sister very much and they loved to watch Supernatural together. He loved his family and friends and enjoyed spending time with his partner Hayden. He loved to write poems, paint, write in his journal, read, and he loved animals and nature. He also enjoyed skateboarding and he appreciated art in all forms. He was good at everything he tried except for basketball and bowling. He loved all music and loved going to concerts and festivals to experience the beautiful and exciting energy. Above all, he loved his son, Myles, the most. He loved being a dad, he was proud of being a dad and enjoyed spending time with his son. He got to experience the feeling of being a dad and experiencing the purest form of love a human can feel. That is, the love for your child and the love from your child.

Paxton was here to have those beautiful moments, great talks and to share his way of thinking with others. If he touched you with his light, love, and his Soul, please remember those moments and know he will be around.
