My deepest condolences on the passing of Pastor Travis. Twenty-five years ago, my family and I were introduced to him, and that encounter was truly pivotal for us. We are blessed beyond measure for the deposits he made into our lives and the spiritual foundation he helped us build. To God be the Glory for Pastor Travis, his ministry, his legacy, and the countless lives he touched, including mine. My prayers and sincerest condolences go out to his beautiful family as his legacy continues to shine through them.

With love, Jonathan Sutton

To the family of Pastor Travis I pray that you can get pass the dark days but remember there's always light at the end of the tunnel. He always called me Mama and when he didn't see me he will tell OJ tell Mama I said hello. That Part I will truly miss. He explained stuff if we didn't understand he would say you will get it on the way home. Blessings to you family.

Johnny Travis was one of West Jackson Great ones. About a year ago we had the conversation that no one want to have about our mortality with both being diagnosed with cancer. Valerie Snell and I send our deepest condolences to Joann and the rest of the family. He was a believer and I believe we will meet again on the other side. Rest Well Brother. Carl and Valerie Snell
