ormer Michigan senator Jack 
Faxon, 83, of Birmingham, died 
Jan. 9, 2020.
Following are excerpts of a 2018 
profile of Sen. Faxon written by 
contributing writer Judy Greenwald:
Former Sen. Jack Faxon could look 
back on his life of public service 
with pride: former legislator, one of 
the last surviving delegates of the 
Michigan Constitutional Convention, 
elected to the Michigan House of 
Representatives in 1964, a member 
of the Appropriations Committee 
for Education, composer of the bill 
establishing the Michigan Council 
for the Arts, to name just a few 
highlights.
The energetic, personable Faxon 
was an avid art collector as well 
as an artist in his own right, and 
his Birmingham home was a true 
showplace, with a priceless collection 
of sculpture, paintings, stained glass 
and oriental rugs, ranging from 
ancient pieces to modern works, 
including his own. He even had 
his own art exhibition in the State 
Capitol back in 1965, which featured 
his abstract paintings.

Art was only one of Faxon’
s 
interests. His parents came as adults 
from Russia, and they instilled in 
him the importance of education. In 
1956, he became a teacher of social 
studies at a Detroit middle school.
Faxon noted that his good 
performance as a student and 
precocious nature as a child 
definitely enhanced his yearning 
for knowledge and led him in 
the direction of learning. This 
connection with the academic world 
was expressed in another outlet: his 
founding of the International School 
in 1968.
“We began as the City School of 
Detroit and had 37 students enrolled 
in kindergarten through third grade,” 
he said, “and we were the first private 
school with a foreign language 
program in the U.S.”
The school moved to Southfield in 
1981 and then, under the continuing 
direction of Faxon, to Farmington 
Hills, where it continues to attract 
discerning families.
Faxon was proud the student body 
consists of children from around 
the world who are immersed in 

a curriculum that promotes 
multilingual studies, leading 
to increased cognitive 
development.
“We believe that in our 
increasingly global environment, 
the quality of success will be 
determined by one’
s ability to 
understand and communicate 
with people from different 
cultures,” he said. “Our 
multicultural, multiethnic 
environment looks ahead to 
the world of tomorrow, and we 
remain committed to foreign 
language proficiency in an 
academic setting that stresses the 
broad liberal arts as we advance into 
the future.”
Faxon also enjoyed a lifelong love 
of theater. He was a theater usher 
and became an opera buff. Faxon 
e loved attending performances at 
the Met in New York and was able 
to translate that love into real life by 
being on stage. He performed as a 
singer and dancer in such venues as 
the Ford Auditorium in Detroit and 
off-Broadway at St. Marks Theater 
in New York. He noted with pride 
that one of his first roles at MOT in 
the late 1970s was Prince Orlofsky in 
Strauss’
s Die Fledermaus, and a recent 
performance showcased him as the 
godfather in The Nutcracker ballet. 
His opening nights were some of the 
most exciting of his life, he said.
Faxon was the devoted brother 
of Lorraine Meisner; dear uncle of 
loving niece and nephews; and was 
also survived by other loving family 
members and friends. 
Interment was at Hebrew Memorial 
Park. Contributions can be made to a 
charity of one’
s choice. Arrangements 
by Hebrew Memorial Chapel.
