Travis always had a smile on his face. He was a great friend of mine and was loved by so many people. He never had anything bad to say and always had a smile that would brighten your day. This definitely has taken a piece of my heart. Travis you will always be loved!

Travis was a great young man with a kind and gentle personality. All of us at BMW who knew him will greatly miss him, he was a one of a kind. For me, BMW will never be the same without him. May God bless you all, Psalms 23, DRStevens.
