Tippet was a powerhouse of motivation on social media, where his over 200,000 followers on Instagram were regularly treated to his life-enhancing advice and personal anecdotes of overcoming struggles.

“All that truly matters in the end is that you loved,” he added in his list of life lessons, before concluding his post: “Everything happens for a reason trust in god.”
His last message to his followers was a compelling testament to his philosophy – urging his fans to take action in order to improve their lives. “Outwork your self-doubt,” he wrote. “Concrete your self-identity through perpetual action geared toward self-development.”
“Your opinion of you far outweighs others’ opinion of you,” he continued. Respect starts with how you view yourself. Do it for you.”
Tippet’s influence extended beyond fitness; he was candid about his turbulent past, including battles with steroid addiction and legal troubles that culminated in a transformative reckoning with his lifestyle.
In 2017, Tippet faced a critical moment when arrested with a significant amount of steroids. The health scares and legal issues that followed fueled his decision to make a drastic change.

“I was very tired. I was yellow in the face. My urine was very dark, it was almost orange,” he once described on the Good Humans Podcast, highlighting the physical toll his lifestyle had taken.
He credited a spiritual awakening with turning his life around. “What saved me (was) Jesus (and) I prayed with my family on the exact day I walked into my last court case and walked out a free man,” he shared in a reflective Instagram post in December 2023.
The news of his sudden death has stunned his community.
In a post announcing the tragic news of his passing, one person commented: “This can’t be real. I literally spoke a few days ago excited to catch up when he’s back. I don’t believe this, I’m devastated.”
A second added: “Jaxon you were one of the kindest people I’ve met. My heart goes out to your family and friends.”
