Axtell worked as a land specialist in commercial real estate and studied at Harvard Extension School. He was described as a devoted husband and father who was active in his church and music ministry. The discovery of his body drew attention because of other deaths in Lady Bird Lake and speculation about links to nightlife areas such as Rainey Street, but authorities have said there is no evidence of foul play in his case.
