A place for everyone...

As we try to sort through feelings and memories of Travis, I thought this could be a place where everyone could come and write letters to Travis, post pictures, read, remember Travy, or take the first step to addiction RECOVERY!!! There are links on this page where anyone suffering addiction can turn for help. We all know that Travis would want his memory to help others.

a place for everyone

As we all try to sort through feelings and memories of Travis, I thought that this would be a place where everyone could come and write, post pictures, read, and just remember Travy. I will also be putting links to places where people can take the first step to recovery. Drugs and addiction took Travis from us, hopefully his memory can be a place for others to start their recovery process. We will miss you FaFa :)

I did not know Travis Personally but he was a dear friend to my Sister and Brother-in-law.


God saw you
getting tired and a cure was not to be,so he put his arms around you
and whispered "come with me"With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you
pass away. Although I loved you dearly,I could not make you stay.A
golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke my
......heart to prove to me,he..only takes the best.

Trav,

I will always remember your huge smile, your hearty laugh, and your huge heart. You were as good a friend as anyone could hope to have. Even as time passed and we didn't see each other as often, you always stayed the same and the friendship was always there. I will never forget you. I have spent the past couple of days thinking of great times we had and chuckling to myself. I am sure you would've wanted it that way. May you find peace brother.

I have thought often about friends of the past and every time I do Travis is one that I think of fondly. He was the biggest teddy bear you could ever meet. He was kind to me when I needed a friend and I will never forget his big hugs!! I will always remember him with that "BIG" smile.

looking through these pictures, I have some really fun memories of growing up with Travis. 20 years since I have seen him, but Travis was at the center of our neighborhood posse, always smiling, talking smack and laughing, but always a good kid. Not in the way old ladies might use that term, but in the way that we all think of him...

I think of us all as this pack of Winesap hooligans, but us kids are big now, and these real things are on us all the time...

Peace to the Hawkins family. I hope you find it in you to celebrate Travis, tempering your sorrow with smiles and good memories.

You will truly by missed. I pray that your family has peace and may you rest in peace my friend!!! Love you.

Travis-

It's been over a decade since I have seen you but, the memories of you are still strong. I know in my heart you are in a better place and that your free of your heartache that you delt with on this earth.

We never will understand what it is that you battled with but, know you are free and are is a much better place. The earth is our Hell and the things of this world are so hard to overcome at times.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I only knew you for a short while and it has been years since I have seen you - I know if I saw you today you would treat me as time had never passed - you made me feel welcome and loved when I knew no one except our mutual friend - as I look through the pictures, reminisce, and see your smile I see pain behind it and I reassure my sadness knowing you are no longer in pain - I wish those of us could say the same as I know your friends and family missing you causes them so much grief.
May your memory live on and peace be with you family and friends - and may those who struggle with the disease of addiction, reach out and take the help that is out there - there is a better life.

Travis,

I hardly knew you but you were memorable, you were the one that walked into a room with a huge smile and was the friendliest to anyone and everyone.

I know you struggled, we all do but unfortunately it took you away from us. From your struggles I hope we find/seek help.

I will always remember your kindred spirit and I hope others can find the strength to remember you and smile from all the beautiful memories you have left behind.

I hope you have now found the happiness/love you were looking for and are in a happier place.

You will forever be in my prayers.

Ometoel!
