On Saturday, 21-year-old Jerel Redfox of Mountain Village died outside Nenana on the Parks Highway.
This note is from his family:
Jerel Jacob Redfox was born to Christopher and Carol Redfox of Mountain Village on May 21, 1988 at Anchorage, Alaska.
Jerel left us to be with the Lord, his maternal grandparents Aldrick and Cecilia Beans of Mountain Village and paternal grandfather Alfred Redfox of Emmonak. Jerel will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but we are relieved that he is waiting and watching us from the heavens above. Jerel left us at a young age, but he conquered so many great things in his short life he spent with us. Jerel will be missed but we know that he is in a better place, and living a better life. Jerel is survived by his parents Chris and Carol Redfox, brother Christopher Redfox II, sisters Tasha Redox and Deanna Heckman brother in law Arthur Heckman Jr and nephew Arthur III, girlfriend Theresa Lord and Daughter Desiree Redfox of Nenana, Grandma Cecilia Redfox of Emmonak, and many Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends.
We all love and miss you forever and always.
The family has set up the Jerel Jacob Redfox memorial fund at Wells Fargo, account No. 7734494623
