Travis,
It has now been one month since we last had one of our oh so important conversations in my office. I miss you so much it is unreal. You know we tend to be closer to our work family than our own family because we are together much more. Travis, it is really hard but I am getting better and I know you are in a better place. I look at your pictures at work and home and talk, talk, talk to you. I know you be trippin off of me UP there. I have said so much to you and still have a lot to tell you so please stay with me forever. You are my bestest best friend still. I treasure every moment and memory that you, Vicki and I shared. You will never be forgotten. Like when we went to meetings at work, save me a spot next to you. Nothing has changed. And last but not least, definitely, if I could turn back the hands of time, I would tell you that I LOVE YOU TOO, TRAVIE. And to your family, Travie, my prayers are always with them.
Love always, Cheryl (Shorty)

To the Thorton Family, I want to extend my sympathy and prayers to you during this time. I was very sad to hear of Travis' Passing. I was a very good friend of Travis' during High School. We met in Spanish Class his freshman year. Travis was a very special person. He always cared about others and although we haven't seen each other in many years I still can remember his smile as if it were yesterday. Please know that Travis is an exceptional soul and touched many lives. Stay strong and know Travis is in heaven with family and friends and is now looking down upon and guarding over you. May God Bless Your Family.

To the Thornton family, may I please offer my sympathy for your loss. If you remember, I am Damon's big brother and can truly understand what you are going through. To find out about Travis through the computer instead of contact with Turners Stations saddens me more. I have truly loss touch with my roots and hope to be forgiven. Just know that the hurt does lessen after time and the memory of him gets stronger everyday. Keep forward for that is what he would want and MAY GOD BLESS. PLEASE STAY STRONG

To The Thornton Family...What a shock for me to read online that Travis had passed. My youngest son Damon and Travis went to Dundalk High together and were friends. Mrs. Thornton, I often have seen you in the mall and you have always been so kind. Your prayers were with me and my family when Damon passed seven years ago. My heart is heavy because I know the pain you are feeling. I remember Travis as being well mannered, ambitious and a postive role model...plus he was athletic. The God we serve is a 'just' God and he never makes a mistake. On the natural side we may wonder why but on our spiritual side we know we will understand by and by. Let us rejoice in knowing that our sons knew Jesus and right now Travis and Damon are talking about the good ole days at Dundalk High. I will be pass to see you and your husband soon. I am praying for you always. Love Cynthia

Travis came to ambulatory care a year ago. His laughter, smile and gentle way added to our family group. Travis always had great ideas and contributed to our programs. He is a very unique person. A very gentle old soul and there is only one Travis.
We will miss his friendship and will miss him as a coworker. To Travis parents and family. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to know Travis. We were blessed to know him. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love Michelle, Marilyn, Sandra, Kathleen, Barbara S., Corrie, Suzanne, Anne, Vivian and Barbara H.

Mr. and Mrs. Thornton,
My prayers are with you in your time of bereavement. You have raised a wonderful son. He was kind and helpful and just a joy to be around. When I met Travis almost 4 yrs. ago, we connected immediately. He was the brother that I never had. Our friendship progressed on the job as well as away from work.I can remember us just chilling, eating crabs and just having a good time. He was extremely kind and bonded with my daughter right away. It always seemed that he would come to my home on Thursdays. My daughter would have a spelling test on Fridays and instead of us just chilling playing cards or watching a game. His 1st priority was always helping her with her spelling words. I can still hear them arguing because he wanted her to be able to use her words in a sentence. She would always say "My teacher said that we only had to know how to spell them." And he would say, "Just use them in a sentence for me." And of course she always would. This is just one of the many memories of your son that I have. He was unlike any other young Black man that I have met. I know that this is because of his upbringing. I want you to know that your family is in my prayers, I don't understand why he had to leave but I know that God does not make mistakes and that he has served his purpose here on earth and is now in heaven. Making them laugh and just bringing more joy to them.

I was deeply saddened by Travis'passing. He always had a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. There was never an unkind word said about him. Everyone here at OHCQ loved him. He will be missed very, very much. No one will ever be able to replace him. I hope you will find some comfort knowing that he is sitting at God's right hand. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you.

My deepest sympathy to the Thornton family. Travis was such a joy to be around. The short time that I got to know and spend with him was always pleasant. He always made me laugh, even when I did not feel like it, and I tried to do the same for him. I will keep you in my prayers. God knows best.

To a big kid at heart, I will truly miss the laughter and jokes Cheryl, you and I had together especailly during lunch. I will definitely miss you teasing me but most of all I will miss your beautiful smile. Travy, we don't know why but God knows what's best for us. This is not a good-bye but a see you later because you earned that right to receive your heavenly wings. So as you look down on us please let the Lord know His creations are trying to earn their way into Heaven to receive those heavenly wings too. Love you forever, my brother in Christ!!

To the Thornton Family,
May god bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. I work with Travis @ the OHCQ and he touched many of us with his humor (whaaaaaaat) as he used to say and his kind nature. Just know, that although you loved Travis most God loves him best and so he called him home to rest. May god give you and your family the strength and love to carry on and cherish his loving memory.

Young Travis I will truly miss you. Each evening as we left work to that ride to the bus stop your joy for life reached me and will stay with for always. To his family Travis was a joy to work with and touch so many hearts the halls here will be hollow. We will never be the same, I still hear his laugh, see his smile and will never forget him, he truly touched my soul.
