Not sure what to say?

Jane and Murray - I am so sad to hear this news. I will let Michael know - I remember when he and Addie had the autism-siblings group at SFDS.
Our love to you and your family.

So sorry to read about your loss. A wonderful tribute.

Wonderful tribute. As a retired special ed teacher. I have taught many autistic kids during summer school, where every day we got on the bus and went on a field trip. Kids and adults with disabilities deserve the understanding and support of everyone and need above all to be included, appreciated, and respected.

A human being full of light and love to give to others.
He believed he was an angel, with the pure innocence of a 10 year old child.
Now he is flying with his wings to the eternity!
Lucrecia Ramos, Lucy

As Travis' caregiver I can say:
It was an honor for me being close to such Angel on Earth. He was a higher being, full of light.
One phrase I remember is when he did some particular things, no explanation necessary, his father always said: "Travis is Travis!" with the special meaning.
I loved him and always he will live in my memory!
My sincere condolences to the Cahen family!
Rest in Peace beloved Travisito!

Though I never met Travis, I loved this story of his life and would like to thank his family and friends for sharing it with us in today's SFChronicle.

To the entire Cahen family, My sincerest condolences. Molly, I always remember how much you spoke of Travis. May his memory be a blessing and I know you will speak of him often to the new member of your family!
Sending my thoughts to you.
Lois, Netimus and NC

I was so sad to hear about Travis. I remember his laugh and smile. He was such a sweet guy. My son Todd had such fond memories of Travis at Fairmount. It will be difficult to share this sad news with him.

My condolences to your family on your loss.

This tribute shares so much love and beauty in Travis’ life and what he means to each family member. Is there any greater accomplishment than to live and love genuinely?
