I remember Travis from our high school days. He was always a nice guy with a good spirit and possitive attitude. Those teenage years would have been a lot better if there were more friends like him.

I've know Travis for a little over 2 years. I saw the happiness he brought to Dale and their family during this time. He was so funny, at their wedding I told him he better be good to my best friend. So he made it a point everytime I saw him to tell me how much he loved his wife and how happy he was. He was a wonderful friend and I will miss him, as will all his other friends who are left behind.

Two weeks have passed since I last saw you. Little did I know that it would be our last visit together. I will miss your big smile, your kind heart and your famous phrase, "Weelll..." I can't say it here, but I will continue that legacy. Thank you Travis for coming into our lives and thank you for bringing such happiness to those I also hold dear in my heart! Till we meet again...

I am so lost for words to paint a picture of his happiness here in Texas . Travis brought so much love and happiness to my loving family and our loving friends. He was very blessed to have the same in Canada. Have alot of pictures on Facebook under Deborah Willbanks Neff. We left him in the "Arms of the Angels" ..and that was tough but that is our faith. We will all see him again. Thanks for all your prayers and support.
His loving wife.

We were saddened to hear of Travis' passing and extend our hearfelt sympathies to his 'Texas family'. Please know that Travis' extended Canadian family, his aunts (Grace and Donna) and his cousins (Ernest, Chris, and Lorelei) were saddened to lose Travis twice -- when he left Canada and lost touch with all of us and now to know that he has left this earth at such a young age. We know that he has joined his dad and all of his grandparents, Muriel and Donald Neff, and Milton and Lois Fretz, who predeceased him. As a child, Travis, his sister, and his three cousins spent many wonderful summer vacations at Grandma and Grandpa Neff's home in Scarborough, Ontario when the five of them were little. Their visits were scheduled so that all five cousins were together for several weeks each summer to the delight of Grandma Neff who loved having all the little ones in her care. Grandpa Neff ensured they all had a bicycle or tricycle to ride and other toys and activities, and Grandma Neff ensured they were well fed and that they knew how much there were loved. Our thoughts go out to those who were closest to him in recent times. Please be comforted in knowing there are other family members who also cared despite the distance and the disconnection that saddened us all.

We are so sorry that Travis left us all, but his pain is now gone. He will be looking down at all of us and smiling when he sees the friends he left behind and how they truly cared.
The days ahead will be hard but remember he is still here in all are hearts. If you and your family need anything just let us know. He will be missed.
