Brixtyn Travis Bryant Cox, 4 month old son of Travis Cox and Kelsie Ashcraft of Rushville, gained his angel wings at 7:14 AM, Saturday, May 2, 2020, at Culbertson Memorial Hospital in Rushville.

He was born on December 21, 2019, in Jacksonville, Illinois.

He was a very happy baby that loved sucking his thumb and being outdoors.  When he was excited, he would jabber and smile at whoever was holding him.  He loved his brother and enjoyed spending time with him.  He was deeply loved by all of his family.
