Travis was one of life's good guys. He had a heart of gold and a sense of compassion that was unsurpassed.

Mr. & Mrs. Dartmott and Alyssa,
I am so unbelievably grateful for having such a remarkable friend in my life. I considered Travis part of my family and will think of him everyday. He was like a brother to me. His presence lifted my spirits and his laugh will never be forgotten. I am appreciative for the friendship he and Chris shared and the happiness he brought to both of our lives. More than anything, I will miss the long talks and the advice that Travis offered. You raised an unbelievable son, full of generosity. I am extremely sorry for your loss and hope that knowing how much Travis was loved can in someway comfort you. Trav, I will miss you everyday. Thanks for being my friend.

Darmott Family,
Travis and I were co-workers at liars. The first time I met him, he use to work at big shots. We became close and I got to know the wonderful person he was. He always gave me words of encouragement, was always there when I needed him, and even confided in me his obsession with the Pixar movie Cars. He had a loving heart and was strong willed. He talked proudly about how close he was with his family and how he enjoyed working on his house with his dad. With his accomplishment of becoming a Correction Officer and continuing working as a bouncer, he was great at protecting people. He had many goals he wanted to fulfill but tragically it was cut short. I am glad Travis became a part of my life, and I in his. My heart and prayers go out to your family.
Travis I will forever miss you and never will forget you!!!
God Bless

Alyssa, Mr. and Mrs. Darmott, I can't imagine how difficult this must be for all of you knowing how hard it is on all of his friends. I haven't seen Travis very much in the past year or so but I will never forget the countless memories I have of him and will always smile and laugh because that's just the kind of experience it was with him. I hope all of you are well and I know Travis is looking down on all of us through this time and forever in the future. Thank you Travis for being a great friend.

One of the hardest things in life is to a loose a child. I know we don’t know each other and I don’t know your son/brother, but my son went through the academy with your son. My son spoke very highly of Travis and they shared many home sick moments together. They were placed at Attica together where they spent many days together, watching out for each other. No words will help the pain, but my family’s prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

To the Family and loved ones of C.O. T Darmott,
I send my dearest sympathy to you. Travis and I entered DOCS together and he was always a comedian as well as a friend. We had so much fun together at the academy. He was one of those people that left an impression in your life and you would time to time wonder if you will ever see him again...well I did at 5pts c.f. and he had gotten so big (muscular)..but it had not changed him because he was still a comedian and a fun guy to be with. Again to the family and loved ones...i send my sympathy to you all and please know that you too will see him again.

I was just in town and made sure i got to see him I am grateful for that. He was a great person and friend who would do anytihng for you. He will be sorely missed I loved him very much.

Dear Darmott Family,
My family would like to send our condolences to your family. It is never easy to lose a child. Although I did not know Travis well in his elder years, I remember him when we were kids. He was one of the nicest people I knew and always quick to smile! Your family will be in our prayers.
Rick and Brenda Galasso
August 6, 2008
Although we both did not know your son we thought we would share this with his family; We were present at the time of the accident as we were just going into get a ice cream at Pat's. My boyfriend Rick saw the accident and asked the employee at Pat's Pizzeria to call 911 and he ran over to the truck and asked if he was alright and Travis responded to Rick to "please leave me alone" Once the police and fire fighters arrived they had cleared the area of people to make room for the ambulance to arrive and Rick had an overwhelming urge to pray for your son's soul as we are both are Christians. So we both bowed our heads and joined our hands and prayed to God for your son's soul and that God would take him in his arms and care for him in his time of need. We only later realized that the Lord took him home and we believe he is now safe in the arms of Jesus. May God be with your family in your time of need.

Although I have not seen Travis in awhile, there is one memory that will stick in my mind. I won't forget going to Planet Hollywood with Travis and Nikki for her birthday. We had to make a quick getaway because Travis decided to leave the waitress a penny as her tip, and did not want her to get to the table before we left. It was one of those moments where you just had to be there. Travis will be missed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
