Travis G. Shollenberger

"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter." - Quote by Albert Camus

In reading the entries from this guest book, I am deeply moved by the happiness that Travis brought to others and I am reminded of the quote above. Travis...

To The Shollenberger Family (Lisa),
May God comfort you & your family in this time of bereavement.

it's kind of funny sitting here thinking of how things would suddenly become more lively once this guy entered the room. three things will always make me think of travis: hiester's lanes, glassjaw, and food...dude was hilarious, the only thing above his great sense of humor (to me at least) was how much he loved sitting down to enjoy a big meal.

my heart goes out to his family and his extremely tight knit group of friends, the people who aquainted me with him. tuck, patrick, jared,...

I haven't seen Travis since we graduated from Conrad Weiser in 2001. But when I heard of his passing, I was shocked. It's been 6 years, I can still remember how he made everyone laugh. He's not someone that you could forget, and always seemed to be the life of any room. My thoughts are with his family and friends, the ones who were closer to him than I. You'll forever be in my thoughts, Trav. Rest in peace.

I was introduced to Travis shortly after Matt and I started dating and I immediately knew why Matt considered him a brother, and why he was so lucky to have someone like that in his life. It is an honor to have met Travis and he will always be remembered for his kind heart and of course, the way he made us all laugh.

*Sinking in my seat...out of embarrassment. If youve ever been somewhere public with Travis' booming laugh (especially the movies,) you understand.
