Not sure what to say?

I go to get gas needing to move to my destination and then I´ll go to the store and get into great conversation about cars kids families and home. I miss his chats often but when I visit my home Salcha I know that he was a very nice guy and very generous guy and he knew resolutions for just about anything. I remember his mother and when she had a bump in her belly that was him and he was always on Linda´s hip shy little guy and he moved over for his sister on her way to life too I still...

I have fond memories of Travis when we were kids. He was younger than my brother and I, but the few times we got to play, I remember him being kind. I have this very faint memory of going with him on the side of the building. He was showing my brother and I something. Been so long ago, I dont remember what it was. I just remembered the excitement I felt having another kid including me in his adventures. Travis was a very kind soul, and is deeply missed.

Like his whole family, I'll always remember Travis with a smile on his face - such a nice boy. My condolences to his whole family, Linda and Heather, and all the people of Salcha who were blessed to know him. God bless you all and God bless Travis Balch.

I'm at a loss for words. Just one large heart ache for Linda, Heather the rest of the family and community. Praying for comfort and sorry for not finding out sooner to offer support.

My heart felt tears are coming down for the loss of such a sweet young man.My prayers to the family he left behind.Find some comfort as you can.I will always remember the sweet little boy running around the Salcha Store.He grew into such a kind person.He will be missed by so many.

Thinking of his mom and step father in this time of sorrow for his family. The sting is with the survivors as he was a Christian we shall know he is being cared for by our Lord. So we take comfort In that. May you be blest with many happy memories to sustain you. Love to Linda and Charles. Willie

So sorry for your loss. Travis was a joy to have in class. We will miss him.

HEART OF GOLD! You are missed my friend by those near and far.

Our thoughts and prayers for the entire family. I will always remember his smile, what a wonderful person, from a beautiful family.
