Ashton Connor Jackson,20, of Belleville, IL, born Tuesday, February 10, 2004, in LaPlata, MD, passed away Sunday, July 14, 2024 at St. Louis University Hospital in Saint Louis, MO.
Beloved Ashton Connor was the purest embodiment of love. Ashton was a loving and doting son, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, and friend. Ashton always had a smile to share, a hug to give, or a joke to laugh about with everyone he encountered. Ashton’s presence always lifted a room, leaving it brighter for having been in it. He often said, “I love you,” before leaving a room, giving a little wave.
Ashton loved to fish. He avidly loved sports, especially baseball. He loved to dance and listen to music. He loved creating art. Ashton enjoyed thrifting clothes to perfect and create his own unique style. Ashton sewed and even made some of his own clothing, having a talent for tie-dye.
Our Ashton Connor will forever remain a shining example of love. The love Ashton displayed was heartfelt and sincere. His loving spirit will never be forgotten, Ashton’s light will be ever present, never extinguished. We all love you Ashy-Toes.
