Jett Travolta Obituary
A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.
The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Another police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, said Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub.
A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport said she could not release any information because of privacy concerns.
Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community.
"The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them," said Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, the property's owner.

I am so sorry that you were only able to spend such a brief amount of time with your wonderful son. I do not know him or you personally, but I wish you my deepest condolences and I hope that you will continue to be comforted that he loved you so much. It is difficult to lose those you love, but you have Ella and Benjamin to help you through your grief. I'm so sorry. All my love!

I just recently lost my only child, my son, to a car accident. We were very close during the very short 29 years 9 months he was here. Adam would be 30 on August 27 and that day will be tough. I miss him every minute of every day. He left behind a wife and three children who are struggling through this as well. God Bless you and your family and my God bring you the peace and comfort that he has brought to me.

Talk about Jett always to recall your life together to Ella, it will help all of you.He no longer has any afflictions ,but has gone ahead of you to wait.Try not to grieve very long.Time really does heal the pain.Jett would want you to live your lives to the fullest.Death is only an absence from our loved ones.He returned home==someday,so will you. I've followed your career since "Welcome back kotter",and I so loved you in "Grease", John!! GOD Bless You Always Everyone.Sincerely, Michele Anne Heim Broderick

March 7, 2010
For Jett...this is
for you and your family.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

To The Travolta Family: I am so sorry Jett is no longer here with us, but do know that he is still here with us in spirit. I pray that you all will be comforted by these words:
Try to remember that a GOOD man never dies; You will see him many times.
You will feel him in all things that are here out of love, and for love.
The person of a man may leave or be taken away, but the best part of a GOOD man stays. It stays FOREVER!

December 15, 2009
Wish there was something that could be said or done to help. My 33 year old, only son, Aaron Cass died January 26, 2009. I've read everything I can get my hands on--nothing helps. I had a charmed life--a loving husband, a lovely daughter, two adorable granddaughters, my "beautiful boy" Aaron plus every material thing I ever wanted (and some I had never dreamed of). Nothing is the same; I feel as though 1/4 of me is dead. My pride has suffered a huge blow; I hate feeling self pity and jealousy of those who still have their sons.

I would like to send my deepest sympathy for your loss. I am just a normal person and not a crazy. I too lost my baby boy, he was sixteen. I can't tell you it gets easier with time, but somehow we manage to make through one day at a time. Please make sure you help your daughter, as children tend to keep things in. I am sure you have lots of support from family and friends but sometimes it helps to talk to someone out of the loop. I can not say that I know how you feel as we all feel grief in our own way. Keep your family strong and hold on tight. If you ever need to talk to someone who has lost their child, please feel free. My prayers are with you, Sincerely, Kim [email protected]

My name is Amy. I also live in Florida. Other than that, we likely have little in common other than we both have lost our sons. My only son died unexpectedly last year at age 29. It has helped me greatly to talk online with another woman who also lost her child. Only those who have experienced the pure grief can understand the feelings. If you want someone to talk to anonymously, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Don't worry. I'm not a fan crackpot. I'm VP of Marketing at Norwegian Cruise Line. My heart is with you.

Dearest Kelly and John;
The loss of Jett to this world is truly heart rendering. It seems God needed him, and I like to think He keeps the purest of souls closest to Him. Jett is surely at His side now - take comfort in knowing that.
I, too, have lost a child, and I'm sorry to say the pain will never go away, but it does become less tangible in time. You will find a way to cope - be there for each other. It is important to talk about him and keep his memory alive, to share your anquish and sorrow with one another.
God bless you and keep you strong. My prayers are with you.

Dear John and Kelly - Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your son Jett. He is such a handsome boy!
I am the parent of a 16 year old son with PDD ... he sounds and looks so much like your son it makes me cry when I think about your loss. Only the parents of children in similar circumstances can truly understand just what a loss it is to us.
These are such innocent, pleaceful children and are such a blessing on our lives that to lose them leaves us feeling empty.
They say these children have a handicap ... well that's a crock as I'm sure you will agree ... they are a sign of what a truly good person is.
Our thoughts are with you.

Dear John, We have watched you for years entertaining us and away from the screen.. We respect your privacy but as Dad of 3 children I have lost many loved ones recently and no matter who a person is, the pain is real and it hurts. I just want you to know we are thinking about you and praying for peace in your home as well as your inner man.. Just know that we love you as an entertainer but we also love and care about you as a man, husband, father. Be strong my friend, becuase this pain will pass and you will be all right ! Love on your family and draw strength from them so that you can give back to them the strength of a Father..

Dear John and Kelly and family - My heartfelt condolences over the loss of Jett. I know the hole he leaves in your hearts is a big one. I understand. We lost our daughter a little over 2 years ago when she was 21. Kate had severe cerebral palsy, was medically very healthy other than controlled epilepsy, and she just didn't wake up one morning. What I can tell you is that it does get easier with time. It helps to have people to talk to - a support system that understands. I imagine that's difficult for you to find, in a way that would allow you to retain privacy but I encourage you to try to find it. It really does help.
Best wishes to you all.

I wish I would have known about this site when your son died. We have had your family on our mind ever since you lost Jett. Please accept our very deepest condolences. I lost a brother who was 13 years old when he died, and to lose a child is so devastating. We know how much you all loved him and know he had a very happy life thanks to all of you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Travolta:
Isn't it wonderful to know so many family, friends and complete strangers send you their love for what is such a life changing event.
I too send my sympathy and thoughts and have waited to do so because of the thousands of fans you have, but I'm also sending you a mother's gratitude for the kindness you and your family showed to my daughter as she served you lunch a few years back at her job. You happened to go in and she was the lucky one. Britt called home all excited. That doesn't happen everyday. Thank you so much!
We too have pages in a Guest Book. This same daughter was in a single car accident on December 20, 2006. She over corrected her car, driving to work in the middle of the day. It's just that simple.
Being members of this very unpopluar club, (parents that have lost a child), I've come to know the veil between heaven and earth is very thin and our loved ones are around us all the time. I'm sure you know this already but I felt very compelled to share that with you. Love is a powerful tool and it goes with us.
May Heavenly Father continue to bless us both and all those that have lost their children because our lives are never the same.
Eternally,
In Memory of
Brittany Jorgensen

April 24, 2009
John, Kelly, & Ella:
I send you the strength that I have since started to gain after the loss of my 13 year old son - 5 years ago to Heart Surgery. Honestly I don't know where to begin for YOU ALL other then to tell you that the 1st year your body and mind are in total shock, the 2nd year is the year that you come to understand they are not coming back, 3rd year Your Longing for your child is like every other day, your 4th year you seem to speak their name ever so softly and the 5th year is a year that the Memories are so vivid - that it was like yesterday you were walking hand in hand and talking to each other as if nobody else was near you. I wish I had that magic wand - you know the one where they can make everything good once again - I would use it and then send it off to you - the unfortunate thing is I don't have it - but I can say that I will forever keep you all and your son JETT in the forefront of my every day and ask that my son be with him until your arrival time has come to join him.
"If my parting has made a void, then fill it with remembered Joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes these things I too will miss."
Many await the time when their dead loved ones will awaken from sleep, as Lazarus did
April 19, 2009
Touched by her sorrow, Jesus assured her: "Your brother will rise." I hope you find the same comfort Lazarus' family had John 5:28,29; 11:20-25
April 19, 2009
April 13, 2009
The pain of the loss is greater today, on Jett's birthday - our prayers are with you. May God fill that emptiness with His unsurpassed peace (sounds odd, but He does that for me oftern since losing our 17 year old son, now 5 years ago). Love from Momma Floyd in Kansas City

We lost our teenage son in December; he was 19 years old. I just want to share a poem which might bring some comfort at this tragic time.A CHILD LOANED
“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine” He said.
“For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this wild world over
In My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we’ll run
We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”

Dear John, Kelly and Ella-
It broke my heart to hear you lost your dear boy. Of course I don't "know" you, but with each interview I saw either of you in, one thing was clear, you LOVE your family.
I don't understand why so many "good" ones are taken to the skies.
I just lost my husband 6 weeks ago. He had a heart attack and was gone in an instant.
It is hard to believe it is true.
Please know... I lost my dad 28 years ago - he shows me that he is around. When I need him he shows me. I know he is out there somewhere.
Your Jett is with you. He is not there in the way you would like, but he has to be touching you on the shoulder and kissing you on the forehead.
I do not know your pain. I can only offer my prayers and thoughts to you. Bless you and your family. May you find peace in the strength of your family and friends.
God bless you.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I can not even begin to imagine the pain. I have 4 children of my own and could not even begin to know how you feel. I just wanted to say I was sorry.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear John, Kelly and Sweet Ella Bleu,
My heart aches for your loss. I loved the photos of your families intimate moments and it showed the rest of the world how cherished Jett was. He was truly a lucky boy to have been born into your arms. I'd say he won the "parent lottery"!
I will continue to keep you all in my prayers and of course support your careers. You are truly inspirational to all of us.
Much love and good thoughts being sent your way....

I want you to know how deeply saddened I was to learn of the loss of your beloved son, Jett. I am a parent and I cannot imagine the pain of losing one of my children. I am grateful you have such a strong network of friends to help you get through the rough times.

My deepest sympathy to you & your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Try to remember all the good times and the love you all shared. From what I've noticed, there have been many. Sometimes the ones we love leave way too soon--they leave us behind to wonder why. Jett will never be forgotten by those who cared so much or by those who care about all of you. Take care.
