Beaux Russell Edward Hill was 22 and from Franklin, Tennessee. He died on June 3, 2023. His family described the passing as peaceful; they noted he lived with the long-term effects of a hypoxic brain injury sustained at 22 months, and remembered him as an artist who loved children and nature, a certified phlebotomist who enjoyed gardening and chess.

Beaux was a registered organ donor. According to the family, donation resulted in four immediate lives saved and the possibility of helping more through further donation and research. The family thanked the Vanderbilt Trauma team, the Tennessee Organ and Tissue Donor team, and acknowledged the Franklin Police Department for their support.

Beaux’s name also appears on a gun violence memorial, which suggests a different narrative from the family’s description; however, no public information currently identifies a criminal investigation, suspects, or arrests connected to his death. If anyone knew Beaux or has information about the circumstances of his death, please share what is known.
