My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Recently losing my cousin Tabitha in such a tragic way only makes my heart ache for your terrible loss. I'm not sure if I had the chance to meet Travis while I was at my Grandmother's (Betty)in Island Pond but from reading the guest book I surely was missing out on a wonderful person. I would like to add some words of encouragment- to tell you it gets easier but right now it's hard to imagine life without our loved ones- let us hope that they are in a safe, happy place looking over us. My thoughts and sympathy-

Where to even start… Travis was such a sweet, caring and upbeat soul. No matter how your day was going, he would find some silly way to cheer you up. His beautiful blue eyes, gleaming smile and great personality will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family and friends.

I only knew Travis from working with him at CRMI and, eventhough it was for only a short time, I am greatful for the time I did have to get to know him. Whenever I needed a supervisor for help, or a friend to lend an ear or share a laugh with Travis never hesitated, he was always there. I will remember Travis for his blue eyes, great smile and sense of humor. It is hard to go to work and carry on. I miss him very much. I send my deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers to his family. Travis truelly was and will always be remembered as a wonderful person.

Though I only knew Travis a short while, he made a huge impression. His concern for his fellow workers and his good nature made him an true asset to CRMI. I hope that in time you find peace in memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.

As a friend of Jules and Judy and family, I want to extend my condolences to all of you even though I don't know most of you very well. I sent a previous message, but it sent before I was able to add my name, but that message says it all, having lost a son myself almost 20 years ago, I can tell you this...it never goes away, it never stops hurting, you never get over it....the only thing you can do is learn to live with it, and you will, as life goes on. You must look at what you do have and how blessed you are in other ways. In my case it was that I still had four other beautiful children, and that was truly a blessing. I had known others at the hospital where my son was treated, that it was their only child that was sick and dying, so I considered myself blessed. Cherish every memory you have and keep his memory alive. Cry when you need to cry, and smile when thoughts of him make you smile.

My condolences Evie, Luc, Family and friends.
Our prayers go out to you during this difficult time.
I didn't know Travis much but I do know he loved people, fishing, video games and was funny. I am sure he will be deeply missed and never forgotten by those who knew him.

Travis We love You and MISS you so much. I had the pleasure of working with Travis for the past year in a half at crmi. There were alot of fun times had. As the days go by the realer this all becomes, as I returning to work exspecting Trav to come rushing in b/c he was running late for work... or looking up at the ops desk and seeing his smiling face. Travis deffently left an inpact on many people , he was a wonderfull, caring, smart , outgoing. Travis took the time to get to know his employees , and he enjoyed his job. He liked having the Supervisor Title. He most deffently earned it. 3-11:30 / 5-2 shift will always in my eyes be Travis's Shifts !Travis John Rancourt NEVER WIL BE FORGOTTEN ! WE lOVE YOU ****

I wish I could say or do something to help ease the horrible, sickening ache in your hearts.The loss of a child is like losing a piece of your soul.
When I lost Brody people would try to comfort me by telling me it would get better.I used to think how can it get better he is gone forever .
I won't tell you it will get better. I will tell you the pain will soften. I will tell you that Travis is with you more now than he ever was. I will tell you that there will come a day when you can think of him and laugh at all the silly things he did. I will tell you that he will come to you in signs , a favorite song will come on when you are having a bad day, or a butterfly will appear in the dead of winter, you will know when it happens.I will tell you it's ok to feel whatever your feeling there is no right or wrong way to grieve. And I will ask that for Travis you live each day to the fullest and thank God for sharing this gentle soul with you.
God bless you
Diana

I had the opportunity and pleasure of working closely with Trav and also getting to know him outside of work. He had a magnetic personality. I'll never forget his sparkly blue eyes or the way his laughter made me laugh. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. My heart and condolences go out to his family at this difficult time.
