About
Travis Walden Obituary
Travis lived life to the fullest. He was a sensitive soul and stated he wished he wasn't sometimes because he felt others' pain. He loved animals and proved it by bringing strays home on a regular basis!
Travis had experience in many job before he finally decided to attend ITT Tech for electronics amd computers. He had been a model, a construction worker, a plant nursery employee, a cook in a sports bar, a technician in a concrete business, and then an Electonic Technician at Schooner Petroleum.
Few knew that he had awesome artictic talent...I have proof inside his cloet on the sheetrock! He was constantly doodling in class...which landed him in trouble on several occasions with the teachers. Only the wise teachers knew he could doodle and listen at the same time. His IQ was off the wall in the performance area which can make academic work difficult to concentrate on.
Born: Aug 16, 1983 in Tomball, Texas
Died: Feb 08, 2008 in Houston, Texas
Obituary
TRAVIS PATRICK WALDEN August 16, 1983 to February 8, 2008. Travis lived life to the fullest and on the edge, but he left this world doing something he loved the best. He graduated from Cy-Fair High School in 2002. He was enrolled at ITT in Computer technology full-time and worked full-time at Schooner Petroleum Services, Inc. as an electrical technician. He achieved a 3.7 last semester and held a 4.0 when his soul left the beautiful vessel that housed it for 24 years. Travis loved where he was in life and had shared with his mother that he also appreciated where he was and where he was heading. He was "at the top of his game." Travis had finally felt he could contribute something that it was no longer a dream, but a work in progress. His strength, his sense of humor, the ability to laugh at himself, his gentleness toward animals and children, his determination to accomplish his goals, both personal and professional, his love of family, loyalty to his friends, and his never-ending battle of overcoming the obstacles he encountered every day, was a testament to the spirit of Travis Walden. He's taken with him a piece of the ones who loved him. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, February 12th. Viewing begins at 12:00pm followed by memorial services at 2:00pm at Brookside Funeral Home Cypress-Creek, located at 9149 Highway 6 North, Houston, Texas 77095. 281-345-6061 Travis was an "Everyday Hero" through the charity of his choice, The Texas Children's Hospital. To continue in Travis's charitable spirit, you can make a donation to the Texas Children's Hospital, PO Box 300630, MC 4-4483, Houston, Texas 77230-0630. Survivors include: Janet Lane Walden, mother; Kenneth Patrick Walden, father; Thomas Albert Waldrep, step-father; Justin Gates Walden, Brother; Sandra Poling, sister-in law; William Walden, uncle; Fred Walden, uncle; Karen Perkovick, aunt; James Edwards, grandfather; Julie Lane Singer, aunt; Gordon David Singer, uncle; Christopher Lee Singer, cousin; Taylor Singer, 2nd cousin and buddy and many friends, cousins, and lives he has touched along his journey.

Hey Travis....it's mom again. It's still hard. Miss your place at the table. Miss that smile and those brown puppy dog eyes. Doesn't get any easier. People's lives go on and people talk about football and what's going on in their lives. And of course, moms' want to hear their child's name that has gone on too soon. They ache to hear to hear their names. I guess people are afraid but what they don't understand is that parent wants to talk about them - their funny times - and you had quite a few. So I choose today to say your name - even if no one is around. You were here. You were my son and I love you. There is no past tense because the love never ends. And that's all you have are the memories. I am so thankful for the 24 years I shared with you. I'm so glad I was chosen to be your mother. The hard times taught us much. And the good times brought smiles and laughs I would never have had. And yes, you did think outside the box! I loved it when you came home and told me that. It was funny and true! You hated being different, but you were beginning to slowly accept it.
I love you....always, all ways.
November 25, 2014
Another Thanksgiving without you. And it never gets any easier. I start making mistakes and become forgetful...and then realize why I'm being that way. I miss you so much, kiddo. Squirrely Girl had to go to the vet for a cold. She's such a sweetie now and goes and visits anyone who comes through the door. Quite a different kitty than when you saved her! She loves to cuddle on my chest. It's so nice to have a little part of you still. I'm taking good care of the little feline.
Candlelight Ceremony will be coming up soon. I try to honor you every day, but at least there, I can do it publicly without concern for what people may think. I know it's been almost 7 years, but how do you ever be OK with the loss of your child? I wonder how you would have looked by now - how your career would have gone - what your wife and children would have looked like. Beautiful, I know.
It sounds silly, but sometimes I close my eyes and hold a pillow as if I was hugging you. I miss the pecks on my cheek and the "Bye, mom" - and off you went. And your forgetting something and having to come back - "That's one!" I've found myself doing that at times and think of you. You struggled but kept on. You prevailed throughout all your issues. So proud of the man you were becoming.
And I just miss you so much. I love you, Travis.

Travis,
Saw an entry from Abby. Guess she loved you as much as you loved her. Found your poem after you died....about Abby. I know you two were so young and trying to be mature beyond your years. I have to believe y'all would have ended up together eventually because you two had such a love. So sweet. And painful. And some hurtful memories of "wrongdoings"...but by both out you. I see her entry and want to call ...but just can't. It's about how it MIGHT have been. As young as you both were - you truly cared.
It's spring and I'm planting again. My favorite time of the year. I remember our talks on the patio. You attempted to be like your brother, but just couldn't pull if off! Justin holds things in....but I believe Sandra is there for him now, and it makes me happy and relieved. You two were individuals, but such awesome traits y'all had....(won't mention what drove me up the wall between the two of you!). Justin has turned out to be a good man. You would have,also...but Travis - in different ways. ....I do miss our talks - for the better or worse. "Your" chair sits empty. So many memories....
And memories like the one when we were going to Chris's wedding and we sent you to the gas station to put $20 gas in your SUV. And , of course, it was just like you to come back with a pair of sunglasses!!!! Because you got side-tracked and tunnel vision about the sunglasses!!! And you being counted (by Tom) on how many times you came back into the house because you forgot something. You were infamous for that!
And because you were who you were, even when you were driving me crazy...you were easy to forgive....MOST of the time.!!! And I love you for that. And you'd be so proud of your brother (and maybe even a little jealous!), but I know you'd be happy for him. He is in Korea right now and it blows me away!
Just talking to you in writing. It's getting easier. I talk to you and have gotten used to you not answering. It brings me comfort, though, and that's what is important in this painful, bitter-sweet journey...along with other things....like the necklace that Sandra and Justin gave me...and when Justin came to the Compassionate Friends Candlelight ceremony...and my precious cats that force me to keep going.
I love you...thinking of you always.....Mom

.. I've get to say I lay in bed and read all your sweet messages and cry. The feeling and tears we've all had can never explain how much we miss you! I drove by the college the other night wishing it was 2008 again. Just to see your bike and face! I miss you like crazy! The last night I got to spend with you is when you wanted to skip the end of class to bring me to a special place.. To watch air planes take off and fly away! It's also a Country song that reminds me of you. I wish I new how to get back there again But I guess it was a one and a life time thing! I miss you and love you so much! Thanks for watch over your family and friends. Good night dear!
Love always

Reading these messages remembering when are precious. I remember when Tom spoke at your funeral and it just took my breath away. He has the heart of a real father and he took a stand for you as our heavenly father stands in the gap for us! You were so handsome and your smile was contagious. A true gentleman. Your mom had a special place in your heart. A true son! We'll meet again! Thanks for keeping Jacob out of trouble. Love ya. Alene

Hey Travis.. I thought about you today. I find myself thinking about often. I heard the tootsie roll song and it reminded me of the time you and I had a dance off at my house to the song. I am pretty sure that you won. ( only bc Abby was judging it) ;) It put a big smile on my face. You were always so silly, funny, and one of the most kind hearted people I think I have ever meet. You are very missed.

Travis,
I read your brother's entry and I want to make it better for him like when he scraped his knee. It was so easy then ...with the two of you. I love y'all both so much that I can hardly think it without getting tears in my eyes - and feeling it so strong in my heart. As you get older your kids become so important to you just on a different level. It's so strange to imagine that Justin is 36. You would've have been 30. My boys.
And you aren't here and Justin and I are left with memories - hopefully the good ones - and the pain of losing you... but we do go on. And we do live our lives - and maybe see things a little differently. And grow stronger every day because of our extreme loss. And maybe a little more tolerant. And love, just love. It's that simple.
Missed you as usual son. Closed my eyes and tried to imagine hugging you, and laughing with you (cause you could make it so easy sometimes), and watching you walk out the door - and then forgetting something and walking back in....I seemed to have developed that same affliction. I also listen to country western music now. Finally gave in since all the men in my life listen to it!
You are not forgotten.
Love, Mom

So I added something yesterday and it's not showing up.
I remember when you were born. I remember when you broke your arm. I remember when you woke me up early on birthdays and holidays. I remember so much from the time you were here, I guess that is what helps us get through.
You're birthday was yesterday and you turned 30! I heard on the TV about a girl who's mother and brother were both killed and she was kidnapped. When rescued and later asked about her mother and brother she responded, "God needed to angels to watch over her and help get her home". It touched me because I struggle with your birthday since its only 2 days before mine. I know you're watching over us and here with us all the time.
I love and miss you so much little brother. Your time on this earth was too short.
Big Brother

Thinking of you today, not a day goes by that you dont cross through my mind. I miss you more than words could explain and wish you were still here to see how much I've grown. I know your watching over us all and look towards the day I can see you again. Love you always
August 9, 2013
I was there when you were born, you know! You came out and Dr. odriquez say "Uh-Oh"....he meant that you were a boy and not a girl...I think. You were are oxygen deprived and they rushed you away from me. I remember saying " I want my baby!". It scared me so much. In the long run, they said you were OK....but ya know, Travis - you were diagnosed ADHD...eventually. It broke my heart for you. So the battle began for you. And I don't regret a day. You were SO worth it. You have that special something and most people knew it.
You were a handful. And so kind and caring and understanding of people. You were color blind and forgiving. No - you were perfect. You wreaked havoc of your own. You had your own demons...I got that. Wished I could fix it all, son.
I miss you still.. always...til we see each other again....your Mom. And Happy Birthday, baby.
Seven Awesome Kittens - When you left this world - thid is what I do to keep going, son. Hope I make you proud.

It's mom. Missing you today as usual. Still doing the cat rescue thing. You'd be shaking your head at me thinking I've gone crazy. Well, that'd be partially true. I still have trouble believing I won't ever see you again.
Your brother got a new job and Sandra is getting close to her internship. They are doing fine. I know he misses you too. Found a letter from Justin that he wrote on February 17, 2000. He'd put his feelings into writing about how much he thought of me. Of course, I cried. You'd be proud of him. He has had a hard time with your death. He did love his little brother, Travis.
I love you and hope I get to see you again in Heaven - cause I know that's where you are now. Love you all ways, always, Mom.
February 25, 2013
Miss you today. Outside doing my garden thing and thinking about you telling me to "deadhead the flowers"! You taught me so much, too, Travis.
It was such a beautiful day - and I thought of you riding on your bike. I know you would have loved it. I dreamed of you being here with me...just for a moment. Wish I could feel your sweet kiss on my cheek. And just your warmth when you hugged me goodbye. Just wantingyou to walk by and say "Hi Mom!".

I want to let you know that you've never been forgotten and that you're missed as much today as ever. Life has not been the same for your mother and brother since you died. It's the hardest thing I've ever witnessed...the grief process. If you could give them a sign or message I think it would help them. You are one loved young man!
February 11, 2012
Travis,
It's been fours years since you left us...not by choice. I've quit expecting you to walk through the door and the reality has set in that you are gone from me forever in this life. I hope that one day we will all be together. I miss you so, son. Justin was right about about lives being changed. I hope that we can make you proud, though. You always said I was the strongest person you ever knew. This has been the test of all times. I just hope I don't let you down .....You are always there, always there....in my heart, my mind, my soul. How could anyone ever forget you?
February 10, 2012
Another year has come and gone. Sandra and I moved back to Texas last year. I can't believe it's been 4 years since the day that changed so many lives. I know we had some rough times growing up and I wanted to say that I love you and miss you bro! Sandra and I are going with Mom and Tom on Sunday to visit the accident site. Mom made you a wreath that we are going to put up.
Always
Your Big Brother

Still think about you all the time. I miss you very much!
May 8, 2011
It's Mother's Day, 2011, and you aren't here to kiss me on the cheek and be in a hurry to go live life. Spent the day with Your brother and Sandra, yesterday. Travis, he walked in and hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. Isn't that something? I know he loves me, but he hasn't done that in a long, long time. Just meant so much. He's changed - grown up. I know he still misses you. He made a joke the other day about you "messing" with him while he was cleaning the storeroom and he smiled - really smiled.
It'll never be the same without you, but one of these days I hope we see each other again. You'd better be the first one there, son. If today, you could just visit - somehow, some way. Let me know.
I love you so very much and will always carry you in my heart.

I was actually just looking for him on myspace a week ago. All of my most positive energy goes out to his family and dear friends.... The write up about him only made me hold him in the highest respect.

I wish that i could have been there to say goodbye, but being in the military its not so flexable. There will always be a piece of me that feels empty without him here. Fly high Angel...till we meet again...

Travis' humanistic ways, bright smile, great humor, listening ear and zest for life are just a few of his awesome characteristics he possessed. I will miss you so much, Travis.

I made and entry earlier but had not seen it posted so I am going to try to do a small summary of what I had said earlier. Travis and I spent some time together at a Promise Keepers Conference at Dallas Texas. I watched Travis as he worshipped our God and as he joined in on the singing of Praises to Him and I saw the joy that was in his heart. I thank God for allowing me to be a part of this time in life with this young man and also thank Him for being a witness to some of the experience Travis had with our creator. I will miss you and pray to see you again in heaven

A few years back I asked Travis to join me to attend a Promise Keepers(mens ministery)Conference in Dallas Texas. I was excited when he said yes. We traveled by car and enjoyed the fellowship by sharing our thoughts on what our relationships with God were and what we would like to bring back home from the conference. Travis had a desire to get closer to God and a relationship with Christ Jesus. As I watched him at the conference I could see how he opened up and expressed himself openly and that he did sense the presence of God while we were there, I could see this by his singing and participating. On the way back he was excited about the experience he had just had at the conference and I could see the joy in him as he shared his thoughts with me. The last time I saw Travis he was riding his motorcycle through Enchanted Valley and I wanted to so much stop him and talk with him but for some reason I hesitated and now I wish I had stoped him to tell him him that I was thinking of him.
I was present when he gave his heart to the Lord and his desire to have both his parents saved too.
I will think of you and miss you Travis. From a Friend

Travis's mother worked with me as a co-teacher my first year at Jersey Village, and I remember her talking of him often. My heart goes out to Janet and all of his loved ones. I know he will be missed, but I hope fond memories bring you comfort.

Travis was an awsome person, working with him he made the days brighter, making everyone laugh. He was a great listener, he was a great friend to confide in when things got hard, I remember the last thing he said Thursday after we talked was everything will be okay, it's not that bad, and I think we all will miss him dearly!
Love you Travis!

Travis,
Where do I begin...I never really saw you everyday, but when I did, you brought a smile to my face, and had a way to make me smile. Its hard for me to actually accept the fact that you are gone. I have to keep telling myself that there was a reason God took you so soon. You will be forever in my heart and you made an impact on my life more than what you know!!
You will truly be missed more that ever by everyone!!
My heart goes out to your family and loved ones...
Watch over us all, we will see you again someday...
All my love,
Love always
