Just wanted to leave a message to let you know that you will never be forgotten sweet little one! You are in my heart always. Dance in Heaven forever!

Julie & Austin,
Thank you so much for sharing Dax with us. Your story, your strength and your love have made me a better mother. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that we can all help honor Dax by helping St. Jude.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had seen this story about a month or two ago and it touched my heart. But I wasn't aware until today of his passing and my heart is breaking for you. You have got to be the bravest people I know because I don't think I would have been as strong. From what I have read, Dax was a true fighter and I can't even imagine what that little boy went threw and still have a smile on his face. Rest in peace little Dax, for you are now an angel.

Because of you and your Mommy and Daddy I will donate every month for the rest of my life to St. Jude. I will help your Mommy and Daddy carry your torch sweetheart.
Fly high baby.
Cherishing every moment.

We are now forever donors and will continue to make a monthly donation FOREVER in honor of Dax Locke!

Dear Locke Family, I saw your story on CNN and it grabbed my heart so I continued to follow your posts on CaringBridge. I was amazed by Dax - how strong that tiny little boy could be and how many hearts he touched in such a short time. I was also touched by your strength as parents and my heart breaks that two such loving people had to go through what you went through. I cannot imagine how badly your hearts hurt right now and I know there's not much anyone can say to make you feel better but I wanted you to know that there's one more person out there praying for you. I pray that somehow each day brings at least one bit of comfort to you, that you are blessed with signs that Dax is watching over you and that you meet your goal of running St. Jude for one day - the day a cure is found!
With love, Lauren

May all my prayers be with Dax and the Locke family.

I just want the family to know my heart goes out to them, there hasnt been one day Dax hasnt crossed my mind, I have a 15 mth old & never to this day could imagine the pain they are dealing with. Its so hard when someone so young and helpless has to go thru this without knowing what is really going on. He is a little trooper who was strong he has touched so many lives...mine as one of the strongest everyday I cry atleast twice bc of the sadness..he is in heaven now were hes free and painless...I just want to say be strong to the family and my prayers are always with you =]

Our family is praying for your family every night. May God be with you during your time of sorrow and hold you close Him on the days when you feel you can't breath and give you inner strength that you didn't know you had.

In Honor of the Locke Family and all the other patients and family at St Jude. No parent should have to go through what all of you have. Hopefully, the donations on this page will help get one step closer to a cure for Childhood Cancer.
May God be with you in this very difficult time.

Thank you, Dax.

Dear Austin and Julie,
My thoughts are prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Little Dax was truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you so much for allowing all of us to come into your lives and for sharing your precious little boy with us. He has touched more lives than you can possibly imagine, as have you both. Not only has he touched people in Washington or Peoria - his story has reached people all across the country and world. That, to me, is simply amazing.
I can honestly say that Dax has changed me greatly. I now look at life so much differently than I did before, and I make sure to cherish each moment. I will forever donate to St. Jude in Dax's name.
Please take care of yourselves and know that Dax is happily dancing in Heaven today, looking down on you both with love and lots of smiles.
You both inspire me so much. God chose you to be Dax's Mommy and Daddy - and he made the perfect choice. God bless you!

& To his courageous parents -- you 2 are heroes for every parent going through this or not! Your little boy touched many lives in a short amount of time & everyone will remember him for his courageous fight & you 2 for holding everything together. No parents should of had to go through this ... no child should have to go through this anymore!

Rest in Peace little Dax! You are a sweet baby boy , who shouldn't have left so early. I read your story on CafeMom & was touched since day 1. You'll always be remembered & missed forever.
Much love coming from Pennsylvania from my family to you & yours
Love,
Tara,Ryne,& Harmoni.

My heart goes out to you and your family. Dax was a beautiful little boy and I'm so sorry that life was way too short for him. I'm so glad that he had one last Christmas. I will never celebrate Christmas again without thinking of everything that he went through. He was a brave little man. May you find peace in this heartbreak.

Deeply touched by the courage of Dax and his parents. What a brave little fighter he was.

Dax,
Even though you are in heaven, I just wanted to tell you from my heart how much you have inspired me. It was with such a heavy heart to find that you had passed to heaven and that pleas to Jesus for a miracle turn-around for you could not be had. But I want your mom and dad and all your family to know that you are my hero and I will never, ever, ever forget you. You were an amazing little fighter and you were graced with the best parents any child could ever hope to have on earth. Dance all you want now Dax, without pain and filled with love until we all see you again.
((Hugs & Kisses))

Dax touched a special place in all our hearts this Christmas season. I do not think that there will be a Christmas that when we put up our lights that we will not remember Dax. Please everyone continue to support St.Jude in loving memory of a brave amazing little boy, Dax

Dance little man, dance. Julie and Austin, I know that your hearts are broken but if you can picture Dax free of pain and dancing, maybe it will help just a bit. I am sorry you had to go through this, I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.
Your son in such a short time on earth brought so much to so many people! It made us look at the big picture and realize what is important.
Hold tight to each other now.

Your story of courage and hope has touched the lives of so many. God Bless You!

May God Bless your beautiful precious Angel Dax and may God Bless Dax's family mom Julie and dad Austin. My thoughts and prayers are for you all. Fly high little Angel Dax and Dance.

I just found this beautiful boy's story on http://CNN.com yesterday morning, shortly after he passed. Ive spent two days reading his amazingly strong mothers journal. I am heartbroken and so so sad. Julie and Austin, you are so strong and brave. I have an 8 month old daughter and I can never imagine having to go through the hell you've been through. I hope you find strength and peace in the fact that he is dancing in heaven now, completely cured!! As I was reading, Sarah McLachlan's In the Arms of an Angel came on. I lost it all over again. I have learned to Cherish Every SINGLE Moment from the Locke family...thank you.

We will now CHERISH EVERY MOMENT with our Daxen!
Much Love and admiration,
Dave, Jenna, and Daxen

I was so touched by your story of bravery and strength and undying love. I have hugged my children tighter, and cherished every minute, just as you encouraged us to do. I send you all my prayer and support and hope that you have so many wonderful memories and feel all the love of us all , all around the world. God bless. and by the way, i am praying for all the precious children you mentioned in your journaling, each day. God Bless.

We love you Dax!
