Our deepest sympathy to all of the Blair family for your loss. Our hearts go out to you all.

Dear Jean, I was so sorry to hear about your son. Parents are not supposed to lose their children. I got an email from Julie Vogel today telling me about Travis. Sure wish there was something any of us could do. Just know that you have a lot of prayers going out to your family. Mine will definitely be on top. I just hate to hear such sad things. He really looked a lot like you, hon. I wish we had kept in touch better. We were fairly close in school, but boy that was a LOT of years ago. Again, I just want to tell you how sorry I am and that I will add your family to my prayers. Karen Miller Williamson

Travis was such an amazing guy and person in general. I am so blessed and lucky to have had him in my life for the few months that I had known him. He was much more than a friend to me and I was and still am devastated at the news of his death. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in your time of tragedy.

To the Blair Family, I'm very sorry for your loss. Travis was in a few of my classes at Towson last semester, and this semester he was in my Net/Wall Activity class. He was a very nice person. We exchanged a few laughs about some of our teachers last semester. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Travis, you will be missed.

Blair family,
I was devastated to hear of Travis' passing. I remember meeting him at CLC as elementary schoolers and going through the school years and graduating high school. He could put a smile on anyone's face and truly was an amazing individual. His kindness knew no bounds. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Travis,
I was so very sad to hear the news. I didn't want to believe it, I really wished the Travis I saw in RIP posts on Facebook wasn't you, wasn't my friend's brother, wasn't the nice person I knew. I am heartbroken for your family, and I wish that I could make everything better for them.
Blairs, I hope that Travis is at peace and that you all, one day too, will find peace out of this. All my love and prayers during this trying time.

Jean, Jim, Kaitlyn & Inez,
There are no words that can assuage the grief you feel at this time but I had to stop by and let you know how saddened I was to learn of Travis' passing. I do not know the weight of your loss but it is my prayer that in time the pain will be lessened and the burden you are carrying lightened. While I won't be able to be with y'all in person you are in thoughts and my prayers.

Travis was in my anatomy lab class. He was quiet and on the first day of class he hardly spoke at all. We have mini group lab quizzes at the end of each class and we would joke that Travis was a secret genius and he would help the group get an A on the quiz. I will miss Travis in lab. It is hard to know I sat next to him all semester and never took the time to even learn his last name. It is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. I hope you are with God, Travis. Rest in peace.

Travis, I never formally met you but know you were such a great brother to Kaitlyn. I hope the Blair family finds strength during this time. I know Kaitlyn to be a very strong woman who always finds the light in situations. May you use that same positivity in remembering Travis' life with all the fond memories and experiences while growing up. Love to you all- I'll be thinking of each and every one of you. <3
