HONORING THE LIFE OF "DAY DAY"

A ONE OF KIND SOUL

Thayron Darell Paxton, Sr., commonly known as "Day Day," was born on January 28, 1982 to the proud parents of Precious Paxton and Freddie Lee Paxton, Sr., in West Los Angeles, CA. He was the youngest of four children. Thayron attended Braddock Drive Elementary School, Mark Twain Middle School, and Venice Skills Center. 

Thayron was always about his money. He was a bonafide hustler. At the age of 14, he started working for Clean & Green Youth Development Program. Years later, he worked for Dutch Post Global Mail. 

At the age of seventeen, Thayron met his first true love, Natasha Campbell. Together they made four beautiful children: Thayron Paxton, Jr., Keymari Paxton, Akaycia Paxton, and Tania Paxton. Although the relationship between Thayron and Natasha didn't last, they managed to be friends and co-parents for the sake of their children. 

Thayron was very handy with his hands. As a kid, he loved to assemble model cars. From there his interest in utilizing his hands to fix items increased. He event went as far as breaking things just to see if he could repair it. Throughout his life, he was the "go to" person to install music in vehicles. Not only was he good with his hands, he was also a great dancer, songwriter, rapper, and cook. His specialty was his gravy fries that he learned from his Uncle Ricky. Thayron was also known for his smile and love for his Venice family. 

Thayron was led to church very early in life. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior as a young boy. He decided to get baptized at nine years old at New Bethel Baptist Church. Later in life, after moving to Antelope Valley, Thayron uplifted his spirit by following the services of Mount Hebron Baptist Church online via YouTube.
