I graduated from high school with Travis. My mother called me this morning and asked me if I knew him. Although I didn't know him very well I do remember him. The news of his death saddened me. His wife and children will be included in my prayers.

Yessenia and family,
With deepest condolenses and regrets, I wish I could be there in this time of need.
There are no words that I can convey to ease your pain and suffering.
The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21
Please call on me if I can be of service to you.
With deepest sympathy,
Brian McDonald and family

Travis was a man with a character about him that would liven anyones life. He had a heart of gold and would do anything he could to help others. He will be missed by many leaving behind his blessings of love and promises. God had a purpose for his life and He used him to be His servant. Alot of lives had been changed because of Travis and now he sits at the feet of Jesus reunited with all his loved ones that have been called home. Those who knew Travis has truely experienced a great blessing.
