Travis,
I don't know how to begin. I have known you all of your life and you were like a little brother as well as a great friend. Thru the years we shared many memories at different stages of our lives and you will be greatly missed. As we travel down the road of life with all of the bumps and bends; we tend to lose touch some what. This does not mean we care any less. I am so sorry that I was unable to be there more. I can not recall any time that you were not happy, enjoying life, and optomistic even thru the bad times and thru the tragedies. I am very thankfull to have had the times with you that I got. Your family was an intricate part of my growing up, and like an exstention of my own. I know you are in a better place and one day I hope to see you again. For those of us that remain here, living is the hardest thing we do, dealing with the heartache of those that have passed while remaining strong for those that survive; knowing all along that the same fate will befall us all. Love you man! Tom Throckmorton Jr

Travis,
How can I put into words what you meant to my family? I know that Junior and Richard greeted you in heaven with open arms. I will always remember how you were always at the center of the good times we had as kids and remember that smile....You had one that is unforgettable and would always brighten someones day.
I think the memory of you that stands out the most is when you and Junior were riding bikes one day and you wrecked. Junior brought you to granny's house and told her to fix you quick you had to go home. You were so scraped up....Anytime she recalled that day it made her smile!
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family it is a real tragedy to loose someone so special. Watch over us and I can't wait to see you again!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

JOYCE,BEAVER AND SHERRIE,
Our love goes out to all of you,such a tradegy losing Travis. I remember when Travis was born. Our families all lived together on 6 1/2 St for 29 yrs. We all knew each other as close friends and it seemed like one big family.Tom and I watched Travis grow up with all our children together. they were always companions with each other. Travis always seemed to have a smile, such an excitement and zest for lifes adventures. Tom still comments on Travis riding his bike from the top of 6 1/2 St. down to a ramp in front of our house, hitting and then flying 15 ft in the air, landing safely. Travis would occasionally call , talking with us about old times or saying he would glad to fix Toms ol truck for free. He enjoyed being aroung people even as a young boy and teenage. Making them laugh, picking with them and at times checking on some of them. Travis was and always will be in our hearts and thoughts We were all one big neighborhood family for 29 years. The wonderful memories will never leave. Tom and I along with Tom Jr and Sarah will truly miss him.

If I wrote a book about "The life of Travis Moore" it would be placed in the comedy section.ABSOLUTELY the funniest guy I ever met.He was a great friend to me.I've known him for 18 years and got close to him the last 5 years.He came over to my house just a couple days before he passed and had me barefooted in the snow looking at his new SUV.He was good to his friends and would do anything for them.I'll never forget the Myrtle Beach trip a couple years ago,driving cars to the auction,going out,housepartys,visits to the car lot, songs he sung on my voicemail and the ever constant laughs.Keep em laughing in heaven T-Rock. :(

Wish i could have been there with you. I love you buddy,and you are one person i will never forget,i will hold you close in my heart.

You said,hell by the time im fifty i hope to be living up stairs!!! We are not dumb,momas is where home is. I miss you Travis. its so hard to except the fact. There is so much i will miss about you,The main thing is your friendship you gave me. I will always check in on your boys for you,cause i know you would have did the same for me. Travis i hope one day after this life i will see you again, so until then my brother,friend I love you and you dont have any idea how hard its going to be without you in my life.

We, as your family want to express our deepest sympathy and prayers to you in the loss of Travis. Our hearts are breaking along with yours in this time of sorrow. It is always hard to lose one of your family members and hard to accept that they are gone. Travis had a heart of gold and was always a fun loving person and he adored his family and "Sons" very much. May God comfort you and remember we are here for you. Always remember Travis's spirit will always be with you forever and the Angels will watch over him as he will watch over his love ones that he leaves behind. It is not easy by far and it will take a very very long time to grip the reality that he is gone. He is now in heaven with our other family members that has passed to take care of him. May God Bless you all and remember we love you all and we are here if you need us for anything.

I was very saddened to hear of Travis sudden death. I had known Travis for many years for he was a childhood friend of my cousin DJ's. At one point him and i worked together and he really made the job fun. Travis could make you laugh just by saying something silly. The last time i seen Travis he was telling me about his little boy's and how proud he was and when he talked his face just lit up, he was really a proud father. Travis will be missed by many,but we will always have our memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It's still hard to believe that all of this true. A very close friend of yours said something to me yesterday that sums it all up "You were the one person in this world that everyone liked." That so true! Thanks for the laughs and fun times throughout the years. I can still feel my side hurting from all the laughs. You will be missed Travis! Your family is in our prayers.
