I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of Travis he was a sweet kind energetic guy, when I worked at foodlion he’d be delivering Pepsi products and he would stop and say hey and talk to everyone. He will be dearly missed. Fly high Travis 🙏
Travis was my student when I was a Spanish teacher at SWEHS. I remember him very well. We used to make laugh each other with jokes. He was such a nice kid. I will always remember him.
With love and sympathy to Sandra and family and all who were blessed to have known Travis.
I remember Travis he was such a great young man he always spoke to me when he would come and put the drinks in for us still praying for the family
Travis was such a sweet child and adult. He grew up with my son playing in the neighborhood. I also had Amanda and him in school. They were both sweet, respectable children. So sorry to hear of this great loss!
