Unexpected Death of a Teenager

Donation protected

Hello, My name is Jessica Hilton and I’m fundraising on behalf of my sister Julianne Swartz.

Sadly on July 13, 2023, my sister Julie, got the most unexpected news that her son Jackson Swartz, has passed away.

The unexpected death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one could prepare for. The Swartz family, has suffered a significant loss with the recent passing of their precious son Jackson. While we cannot take away their pain, we can help this loving family with the many financial burdens they now face. Please consider donating as they lay their son to rest and take the time away from work to grieve and be with their beautiful daughters and son, Breanna, Courtney, and Taylor.

There's not a word for a mother who has lost a child. Probably because no word can describe the pain that is felt when someone who has heard your heartbeat from the inside, takes their last breath. Jackson Swartz was a daily ray of sunshine, even on the toughest days. His smile was infectious. He is missed beyond measure.

Words can’t describe any of what any of us are feeling. There aren’t enough words to explain how much this hurts, how much you’re going to be missed and how badly any of us wish we could bring you back.

My heart is absolutely shattered and I’m so beyond devastated. I wish I knew what to say to make it all better but there’s nothing to say… we only feel and mourn.

Rest easy sweet child. #swartzie99 #forever16

Any help is appreciated during this difficult time. Please respect the family's privacy in this matter.
