Our condolence is late in arriving, however; we wanted to express our love and friendship for Travis. He was genuine and kind each and everytime we met up with him. We'll miss seeing him at the football games but will never forget his laughter and smile.

Trav...I saw this tonight and could not believe my Windsor Street buddy is gone! I met you when I was 8 years old! What happened my friend? I feel so bad that we lost touch over the last few years, but I will NEVER forget how you took me in and cared for me during some of my darkest hours. Thank you for believing in me! Oh I wish there was something I could have done for you.
Reading all of these entries tells me what an amazing person you are, how loved you are and how much you will be missed. Love you and that smile!
May 21, 2012
You will be missed by more than you know. I always felt safe around you and have memories to last a life time.

Dear Debbie and family,
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Although it is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. ...Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, Comfort in the midst of pain. With all our love, Ron & Sharon Young - Kari, Traci, Ty

Thank you for being you.. having that amazing smile, beutiful eyes and that signature dimple... may you finally be free from pain... and watching over your mom and sister and family... and don't forget to be listening...
