Jennifer Burnham mourns the loss of her baby boy.
The lifestyle influencer revealed the death of her son, Baxter, 4, in an emotional Instagram post on Monday, October 12.
“Heaven welcomed our angel Baxter last Monday, October 5th,” Burnham wrote alongside a video montage of her son. The content creator did not share the cause of death.
“Baxter, since you were born, you have always been our dream come true,” Burnham continued. “You have the most perfect angelic face and the sweetest personality. You are always kind to everyone and always like to carry a car in each hand or a bag with you wherever you go.”
USA TODAY has contacted Burnham for additional comment.
Burnham shared Baxter with her husband Bryce Burnham. The couple has another son, 1-year-old Barron.
The influencer frequently shares photos and videos of quality time with her family. In March, Burnham posted a playful video of herself walking in a park with Baxter and Barron. In the clip, Baxter can be seen enthusiastically exploring the grassy terrain.
“Being a boy mom means taking walks to collect sticks everywhere you go,” Burnham wrote at the time.
A few months earlier, Burnham paid tribute to Baxter with a heartfelt message on his fourth birthday.
“Happy 4th birthday to the boy who made me a mom!” Burnham wrote in the Jan. 25 post. “Baxter, your love for cars, trucks and chocolate chip cookies is simply the best. I love you so much and can’t wait to see what next year has in store for you.”
Burnham recalled her son’s caring attitude in her final message Monday.
“You love your family, your cars, your chocolate chip cookies, karate and all your friends,” Burnham wrote. “You pick mommy’s flowers every day on our walks. We miss you too much, but we know you are still with us every day, watching over mommy, daddy and your little brother Barron from heaven. We love you always and forever.”
