When somebody was feeling down or upset, Travis was always the one there to talk to. Travis you were a great friend. Not to mention you always knew how to have fun! You left me with millions of great memories and stories.. but not one bad memory. You are in a better place now my friend there is no doubt about that. I miss you but there wont be a day that im not reminded of you in some way. Rest in peace Swank.
Love always,
Jordan

I knew travis from the time he moved to Chillicothe. He was my friendand we spent many daystogether at eachothers house. He taught me to snowboard, thoug i wasnt very good at it, and taught me how to play poker. When we wer younger believe it or not we used to play house and all the lttle kids games. We graduated the same year and spent a lot of our high school years together. I will miss him dearly.

Losing a child has to be the greatest pain of all, and nothing I can say here will change that, but please know your boy is now in the arms of God, where he is safe, loved, and happy. You were blessed with him for such a short time, but I thank God for each and every day you got to keep him with you. Always know in your heart that one day it will be your turn to join him, and he will be waiting there with open arms when that time comes. God has a plan. We don't always understand it, but one day we will be there beside Him, and we will be blessed with the answers for the questions we ask today. Let God be your guide and your comfort, and lean on your friends and each other.
