Jaxon Buerge was 16 years old and had autism. Jaxon died on December 27, 2018, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, after his family's vehicle was rear ended by a semi-truck on a snowy night. Jaxon Buerge was the inspiration for the Bill & Virginia Leffen Center for Autism at the Ozark Center for Autism, because of his inability to secure autism treatment near his home in Joplin, Missouri as a child. Jaxon and his mother had to temporarily relocate from Missouri to Cleveland, Ohio to obtain ABA autism treatment when he was a young child. Today treatment is available in Missouri at the Ozark Center for Autism. His parents are Trisha and Justin Buerge.
