Popular social media health and fitness influencer Jaxon Tippet has tragically died suddenly of a heart attack, according to reports.
Tippet had just turned 30 when he passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, his family have confirmed.
The Australian health influencer and fitness coach was on vacation in Turkey when tragedy struck.
The family of the single dad-of-one and popular podcaster is now trying to return his body to his home in Queensland.
Devasted members of Tippet’s family announced his death with a “heavy heart” and described him as a beautiful soul.
“There really are no words to describe this sort of pain, and we know a lot of people will be feeling this heartbreak with us as he was loved by so many,” they said in a GoFundMe post.
His family said they were told he died of a heart attack.
The fitness influencer has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram.
He often shared motivational advice with fans.
In an eerie post on his birthday, days before his death, Tippet said:
“Growing old is better than the alternative: dying young.
“All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.”
His final Instagram post shared last week spoke about how action yielded results.
Tippet described confidence as a “byproduct of competence.”
“Outwork your self-doubt,” he urged his followers.
“Concrete your self-identity through perpetual action geared toward self-development.”
Tippet’s death came just days after he marked his 30th birthday.
He posted a picture of himself beaming as he stood next to a bike.
The health guru captioned the post: “30 life lessons I’ve learnt now I’m 30.”
Tippet urged his fans to enjoy life, believe in miracles, and make time for their health.
“Everything happens for a reason. Trust in God,” he said as he rounded off the post.
Since news of his death broke, tributes have poured in for Tippet.
Fitness and nutrition coach Rudi Garcia said he’s been left “speechless” following Tippet’s death.
“We had huge plans for the future, brother,” Garcia posted on Instagram.
“We were ready to take over.”
Pro-bodybuilder Adam Roch revealed he recently spoke to Tippet.
“Gone too soon, too young,” he posted on social media.
“Rest in paradise, brother.”
