Classmate you will be missed never forgotten. Thank you for all of your years of service. You've gained your wings, FLY HIGH!! SHELBY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL C/O 1992 Always a GOLDEN LION!
From the first day Travis signed on with us in the Air National Guard and came to our first drill, he was more than an attendee. He was a fast learner, a very cooperative team player and a kind-spirited serviceman. Never failed to make a difference in whatever capacity he was asked to serve. He had this radiant smile and a quiet manner and could be right where you needed him to be. I could count on Travis. He was an example and a leader to all subordinates. I really liked the man. He is gone too soon. May grace and peace be with the family and friends processing this loss. May his influence, kindness, and love shine on. Jesus is extending the hands to Travis at the best homegoing ever.
Travis was a treasure, friend, coworker, source of strength, support and mentor to many NCANG FSS members. I enjoyed seeing and catching up with him every drill weekend and was always greeted with a smile. He had a beautiful smile. Please accept my sincere condolences, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sending my condolences to the family of my beloved brother Officer McDowell. My brother will be missed! Love you bro! Until we meet again....
It is with a heavy heart that I remember my dear friend and colleague, Travis. Travis was more than just a good man—he was a great leader of men, a steadfast companion, and a best friend to everyone who had the honor of knowing him. His presence was a source of strength, his laughter a source of joy, and his loyalty unwavering. I had the privilege of serving alongside Travis in the North Carolina Air National Guard, and we deployed together to Qatar. In every moment—whether in service or in friendship—Travis exemplified courage, integrity, and compassion. He led not just with authority, but with heart, and he inspired those around him to be better, to do better. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the legacy of love and leadership Travis leaves behind. His memory will live on in the stories we share, the lives he touched, and the example he set. Fly high, Travis. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Travis, you will be missed greatly. You were my big brother from our guard journey circa 2006. we accomplished our goals together. You fussed at me but you also stood up for me. You motivated us all in whatever way we needed to get the message! I love you my brother!!
