Beloved Trans Woman Jax Gratton Found Dead

Transgender woman Jax Gratton was found in a Lakewood, Colorado alley two months after she went missing. Police haven't yet determined the cause of death, but have classified her death as suspicious.

A Rosary Service for Jax Gratton was held June 9 at the Highlands United Methodist Church. It was very important to her mother that the Rosary was performed, but for those who wish to skip this part, friends and family begin her memorial at 51:47.

Her mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, announced the tragic news on Facebook Saturday.

Gratton-Camis confirmed to Denver7 that Gratton’s decomposed body was discovered in an alley in the 9600 block of W. Colfax Avenue on Friday.

She said a detective told her he visually identified Gratton through her tattoos.

"I'm very thankful for that because I would be waiting weeks," Gratton-Camis told Denver7

Rest In Peace Jax Gratton
