Travis Watts Obituary

Published by Herald Sun on Mar. 16, 2011.
WATTS. - Travis Michael. 08.11.1980 - 12.03.2011 Died suddenly and tragically Taken from us too soon Much beloved son of Alan and Virginia. Loved brother of Alana. Best friend, soul mate, loving Partner of Brigitta. Words cannot express how heartbroken we are to go on living another day without you. Trav, we hope you are in a better place now. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace our dear one. We have you in our hearts forever. Luv ya Babus. My big brother, my hero. Nothing will be the same without you. I'll be thinking of you and missing you always. Love, your wittle wister xx One At Rest Think of me as one at rest. For me you should not weep. I have no pain, no troubled thoughts, for I am just asleep. The living, thinking me that was, is now forever still, And life goes on without me, as time forever will. If your heart is heavy now because I've gone away, Dwell not long upon it friend, for none of us can stay. Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, And those of you who loved me, I thank you most of all. And in my fleeting lifespan, as time went rushing by, I found some time to hesitate, to laugh, to love, to cry. Matters it now if time began, if time will ever cease? I was here, I used it all, and now I am at peace. Funeral details later paper

Trav I really don't know what to say. Before we grew up we were best friends. We shared everyday every holiday every memory together. We always fought, like any true brother and sister do. But you were always my hero. I was in invinsible with u by my side. I was and still am so proud of you. I ask myself everyday how I will do it without you. But then I know even if I can't hear your cheeky laugh, feel ur strong embrace or have you telling me not to be stupid... Ur still here with me. Protecting me and filling my heart with love. I love you bro.... Not even the trees xxxx

Wittle wister

June 8, 2011

Trav. I struggle to know what to say. We were best mates. Before we grew up we spent every day every holiday and every memory together. We fought like only true brother and sister do. But you were always my hero. I know you're still here with me everyday, watching over me, protecting me, telling me to stop being stupid when necessary. I wish I could truly remember the moments we had as kids but I have photos to remind me. Our older days are scars now moments I'll never ever forget. I miss the simplest things. If only we could hear your cheeky laugh or feel your strong embrace again. I love you Trav and miss you more with everyday. Not even the trees.... Xxxxxx

We miss you everyday and our hearts ache for you. Not everyone was lucky enogh to see how beautiful and sensitive you were on the inside as well as the outside. We were so proud of you and just want you to know how much we miss you. You were so clever, had so many skills and talents. You were gentle and strong at the same time. You could do anything you put your mind to. You leave a gaping hole in hearts and our lives. We were so lucky to have had 30 years with you...but wished there were so many more.So many dreams and plans unfulfilled. But, we will try and see some of those plans through.( Your pergola's up!!) We love you so much Trav...our boysy!!! There must be a reason you were taken from us so soon, although we struggle every day to know WHY. Thank you to everyone that loved you and paid tribute to you. Until we meet again our gorgeous son..... LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS Dad and Mum xxxxxx
