His last earthly work was at Amerisuites in Roanoke and working with Bill Mosely in Bedford. He loved to read, watch movies, play electronic games and hang out with his friends at the treehouse. He loved life, adventure and traveling. Travis was a strong christian, loved God, his country and his family. He was a link in a circle that won't be broken.

We're coming up on 5 years. I can't believe it. I kept this guestbook up until now and I think it's finally time to let it go. But you just remember that I will never let YOU go. I still think about you all the time and I miss you terribly. Hope everything's going okay up there. Love you, T.`

Travis..
I'm so sorry to hear about this so late... Travis was a dear friend of mine. I only met him once during Otakon; but I knew him online years before.
I tried looking for him several times, with no avail to tell him I missed him, but never found him. He was always on the move.
I know he is in a better place looking down at us. I send my condolences to you and your family. I'm so sorry.

Travis was my friend, my political pal and my grandson. I loved him dearly. I wanted more time with him. He had so much more to give and so many more people to love and be loved by. I have so many memories and all are sweet. One of my favorites was his performance as the butler in ANNIE while he was still in school in Bedford. He was a natural on stage and off. His kindness and just the sweetness of his personality is among those things I will always treasure. May God bless and keep...

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to sign this guestbook in memory and in honor of Travis. I am putting together a book of memories for myself of Travis and if anyone would like to share any of their memories, events, or conversations you had with Travis with me, I will add add them to the book. I would appreciate any and all. I consider it a blessing, a honor and a priviledge to have been the mother of such an intelligent and kind man. Thank you again.

I go to Virginia Western as well and I would always talk to Travis before class and he would help me with my English papers. He was one of the sweetest guys that I have meet and i was so sad to hear about the news. He became one of my close friends in a sort periord of time....i wish i could have had more memories with him and had said more to him..before he passed.I think about him daily. My thought and prayers are with his family and friends.
