Travis Benjamin Whitesides

My heart breaks for you, Jacqueline. My deepest condolences.

Good memories with Travis last summer: His truck bulging with belongings, he arrived in time to help us babysit our grandchildren --running through lawn sprinkler, trampoline tricks, and that pretend camp fire complete with imaginary marshmallows! We also enjoyed grown-up evenings like the Friday Old Town Fest: art, music, restaurant, shopping, restored brick buildings, drink samples.... Stopping in the olive oil store, where Sally works, we introduced Travis to my boss and, although Jay was...

It's been a week now, and I still cannot believe you are gone from our lives. We will so miss your laughter and your Bill Brasky imitations. We will treasure the time we spent with you as a young boy, and in particular, our trip to the Grand Canyon. You were like one of our own. May you be in peace now.

Our wonderful nephew, so full of life, music and creativity. Our trips to the ranch will not be the same without you. Your kindness towards Grandpa and Grandma was a gift to our family. We will plant an apple tree in our backyard in your honor and enjoy your new tradition of "pie-caken" every Thanksgiving! We love you. John, Ellen, Craig, Jaime, Kyle, Erica and Katherine.
