James, Robin, Trevor and your entire family, words cannot express the sadness over losing our sweet Travis. He was one of a kind, walked to the beat of his own drum and had adventures in life some only dream of. He was so good to his Grandpa Howard and Grandma Gail. I’ll remember good times at the lake, fishing, boating and him finding that scorpion and putting it in a jar and taking it home!! He wore his heart on his sleeve and never was for a loss of words. He sometimes called me on my birthday and it made my day. May the angels lead him to paradise. Aunt Susie will miss him dearly.
