He was my friend. One of my best. It is unlikely I will ever find another like him. There is no way to put into words the way I feel, but I know that he was good.

I AM CASEY'S AUNT, AND I AM PROUD TO SAY TRAVIS WAS A FREIND TO ME AND MY SON MICAH. THERE ARE MANY TIMES THAT WE WOULD ALL GET TOGETHER ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AT MY MOMS TO PLAY CARDS AND EAT PIZZA OR FRIDAY NIGHTS AT THE LYONS DEN. I CAN REMEMBER I WAS WINNING AND WAS SO SURE THAT I HAD BEAT EVERYONE IN THE GAME AND TRAVIS CAME IN AND SHOWED ME UP. HE WAS VERY SMART, STRATEGIC AND HUMBLE HE NEVER TARGETED ANYONE WHEN PLAYING BUT WOULD STILL COME IN AND CLAIM VICTORY IN A GAME WITHOUT YOU SEEING HIM COMING. I LOVED EVERYTHING HAD PINK ON IT WITH HIS CARDS. WHILE WE PLAYED I WOULD WATCH HIM STACK AND MAKE TOWERS WITH HIS DICE AND KNOCK THEM OVER. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH CASEY. I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE AND WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS

Travis worked for me. He was awesome. He would give us all he had every day. We’re all deeply saddened over this. He was a great young man. He will be dearly missed.

The length of your grief measures the depth of your love for Travis. He simply adored you. Together y'all were a team. Travis ran his race and then it was done. He left you with all his memories he said you could keep them for the rest of your life. Whenever you feel a gentle breeze on your cheek or maybe a lingering butterfly near, know that just possiblely Travis could be sending you a message to remind you that he was here and that he loved. He loved you.

Though I did not know him personally, we met on a game and quickly became friends. He was such a genuine and friendly person. We're privileged to have made acquaintance, however brief, and while honoring the legacy of someone who had passed within the gaming community makes it so much more bittersweet. To his family, our sincerest and heartfelt condolences. May his soul rest easy in the love and care of our Lord.

My grandmother babysitted Travis and we were in the same graduating class of 2022 from evadale texas. This was an intelligent young man with a bright future, this breaks my heart but I know Travis is in heaven gaming with the best of them. I regret not being more of a friend to Travis while we were in school. He was a tough spirited kid and highly gifted for his ability to manage all things technology. I wish i could tell you I love you travis may God rest your soul brother
