Fitness influencer Jaxon Tippet has tragically passed away.
On Monday, Jaxon’s family revealed heartbreaking news that the Australian workout guru sadly died while on vacation in Turkey over the weekend. Alongside a smiling photo, they shared on his Instagram page:
“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. Jaxon passed away while on his trip in Turkey and we want to ask for your help and support in getting him home. In the bio you will find a link to a GoFundMe page to help us get him home. God bless x”
How heartbreaking.
Jaxon, who boasts over 227,000 followers on the photo-sharing app, was becoming a big name in the fitness community, where he would also often share inspirational messages. Sadly, he also leaves behind one child.
The influencer’s death comes just weeks after he celebrated his 30th birthday. Eerily enough, in a birthday post in which he shared 30 life lessons he’s learned, he wrote:
“Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.”
So, so sad.

Fans overwhelmed his comments with messages of love and support, and his family clearly heard. In response, they shared more details about his death in an IG Story post later on Monday evening. They wrote:
“Hi everyone. We really appreciate your love and support during this time. It’s clear that Jaxon had such a beautiful impact on people. From what we have been told, Jax passed away due to a heart attack while in Turkey. Thank you so much for all your messages of support.”
A heart attack. So young and fit to die of heart problems… how sad…
Back in 2022, Jaxon opened up on the Good Humans podcast about struggling with an addiction to steroids in the past, and all the health complications that came along with it:
“I was very tired. I was yellow in the face.”
As of now, it’s not clear what caused his heart attack, but his family has launched a GoFundMe to raise money to help transport his body from Turkey back to Australia. You can visit it HERE.
Our hearts are with his loved ones. Rest in peace.
