See you Sat, I already miss you….
Love you so much! Don’t worry about Cindy I’ve got this.In Jesus’s name we pray Amen
I am going to miss getting a pizza Renting a movie.
And not even watching the movie just sitting back. Talking for hours with the TV off. You will always be the best conversation I ever had. You will sincerely be missed.
When I think of Travis, I think of his positivity and the smile he always had on his face. I’m so glad that I got to know him and help him find his home. I loved working with him and getting to know him. I’m so sorry, Cindy. 🤍
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and hope in God’s wonderful promise to wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. -Revelation 21:4 Condolences
We will miss Travis dearly, especially on holidays and birthdays. We enjoyed his laughter, smiles, and long conversations. We fondly recall how we’d end a meal or visit, say goodbye, and then 2 hours later we were still chatting away. Good memories, he will be sorely missed by all lucky enough to have known him.
Travis had a sense of wonder shared with his grandfather and me,his Uncle Buddy. We could talk for hours about the mysteries,paradoxes,and forgotten histories of past and present. Big John has been exploring the heavens for decades….now Travis has gone ahead to scout the way for the rest of us. I will miss his smile and laugh …my nephew,Travis Benton
The Circle will Live Forever in my heart. Greatest bunch of friends I ever had. Cynthia Drive saw some great times! I don’t kno what to say other than Rest in Peace my friend.
It’s been such a long time. We spent so many nights hanging out down there at the Circle, or in your garage, back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. You were the center of our group. I’ll always remember those days, and I’ll remember you. Farewell, my friend.
The memories of the Circle lived in all of us that knew Travis there aren’t many of us left. The days of hanging out with my friends took place at his house and he’s the one who brought us all together. I will miss you Travis and you are in a better place now so fly high and never look back
