In an emotional Facebook post, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis
confirmed the devastating news: “With a broken heart, I share the news that our
beloved Jax Gratton has been found — and she is no longer with us. The light
she carried, the love she gave so freely, and the joy she brought into our
lives have been taken from this world far too soon.”
Gratton-Camis expressed deep gratitude to the public for
their support, saying, “Everyone who shared her story, her face, sent a prayer,
or a kind thought — thank you. Everyone who hit the ground running and hasn’t
stopped — we felt your love.”
She also honored Jax’s identity as a trans woman, sharing how
her daughter had helped her understand the LGBTQIA+ community more deeply.
“It’s not just about Jax — it’s about everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community who
faces the world with courage, simply wanting to live, love, and exist safely.
That should never be a fight — and yet, it still is.”
“Jax Gratton was a light — unapologetically, fiercely, fully
herself. I see her in every act of love and strength you’ve shown.”
ax was last seen on April 15 around 10 p.m. when she left her
Denver apartment, telling her roommate she’d be out for about three hours. She
never returned.
Lakewood Police have confirmed that a body was discovered on
Friday, though further details have not been released.
