Travis was a very kind and lovable young man. He spent Thanksgiving with our family in Walker, Minnesota, and Christmas at TeAnna’s Dad’s home in Isanti. I immediately liked him and was impressed with his influence on the life of my granddaughter, TeAnna King. He loved to play board games and would play them with TeAnna’s little sister, Megan, for hours. He was a constant presence in my son, Chad’s house and he always made everything just a little more fun and lively. He will be missed at our family gatherings. My prayers are with his family and I wanted them to know that there was another family who loved him, too.
Griz, I will remember your smile and practical jokes.
To your family, please know that Travis will be remembered, he touched a lot of lives. May God give you peace.
We are so so sorry that Travis is gone. Our heartfelt prayers are lifted up for you, Debbie, and Roger and Bev. And of course the whole family. We have good memories and even laughed a little remembering the car/garage incident. He was good and kind and he should not have been taken away from you. Remember though, that God has a special plan for us all, and it is something that we will never understand. Please pray for the kind of peace that passes understanding. He had a awesome family, and he knew it. Never forget that. He loved you guys.
I have never met your son or you, but I have too suffered this type of tragedy. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
I miss you bro. You had a huge impact on my life. I’ll NEVER forget you. I can’t believe it’s been a month, but the effect you had on the community before and after your passing is heavenly. I’m going to stop by and leave you an angus and some tears. I’ll be missing you. I can’t wait to see you on the other side, but until that day I know your watching over me and everyone else. I love you RIP Griz. take care of kelsee tres and trub
