Travis was truly a selfless man. He was there to help me when there was nobody around, and I truly will always be grateful that I was able to be his friend. He was there when I had nothing to offer, and at the time he barely knew me. I will always hold his friendship close to my heart. Thank you for being my friend.

I am in shock right now! I thought you would always be too stubborn to die on its. I am so sorry I wasn't at your funeral. You were always such a great friend. I am so super sad that you are gone. I would not have made it through a few years of my life if it wasn't for you. You ere airways there for me. We always had so much fun and you always had my best interest in your heart. I am truely going to miss you. I can't believe that you are gone! Why does This always take the good ones! You are always going to be my friend forever and always. Love you my friend. Please Say hi to my daddy up there in Heaven. Rest in peace my friend. ❤

Travis as I find out about you tonight my heart turns so heavy, you were such a great friend always there for me when I needed someone to talk to to tell stories to pass the time with. To talk about our dogs and our jobs and our friends add our life lessons and things that’s knocked us down in the dirt a time or 2. As I go back on all of our messages I wish I would have kept more of them I wish I would have kept every picture that you sent me every message that you sent me so I would have more to look back on. Many times you were my only friend that I could ever turn to, The only person that I felt like I could talk to you will be there for. We got into our fights we had our disagreements we even had a big fight her to stop talking to each other for a while, but we could always find our way back to each other. You had one of the biggest hearts and a guy that I have ever seen! You are truly an amazing person! And I wish you were still here to tell that to you in person! I know you were in a better place now and I know that you were looking down on me and my kids! We have gained another angel in the sky to look out for us! Travis I love you and I miss you dearly! My heart goes out to your family!! I am going to share the only photos that I have left of you. I wish I had all of the other still. 

Although we only knew each other in game you were a good friend and very caring person , wish when I was in Colorado Springs Air Force Base I knew you lived just that close and we could have met 😟, but you are in better place now and partying it up, condolences and prayers to your friends and family bro till we meet each other again ...Raven-4Life

May the angels hold you, in their arms for all eternity!!   Condolences  to all family and friends. 
Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace bro, and my condolances to all yours beloved.

Travis , going to miss you thru all the yrs between us you’ve always been like family to me . And as a electrician there is none better! 
I know in my heart your in a much better place now .  You will be missed and never forgotten. 
Much luv. Always and respect  

I've known you for over 30 years and watched you grow up and become a great man.  Will miss seeing you and working with you.  You'll definitely be missed

Travis I still talk about the job we did in Florence, CO. And how I thought your were one of the hardest worker that I have ever worked with in #113. Even with your smoke breaks, you would still get more done in a day than most! I would work with you or for you any time brotha! You are truly gonna be missed! 
 To Jessica and Wayne, words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling for you. I just hope each day gets a little easier and better for you. You and all your family have my deepest sympathies. 


Travis, you were such a caring soul.  You were quite the handful growing up. I remember one time when your dad left you in his truck for 5 min and you cut all the wires under the dashboard.  Your Dad was so mad, I don’t think you were more then 4 years old at the time.  When I was babysitting you, I had to watch you like a hawk, you were always getting into everything and taking stuff apart.  That is probably why you were such an amazing electrician.  You have always had a special place in my heart and I miss you. ❤️

Love you - Aunt Tammy

My nephew Travis, Man, you threw us all for a loop. I'm still reeling. I still see you as a Lil boy. A wild a** Lil boy lol. I have so many memories of you it's hard to pick one. When you were 3 or 4, I was babysitting you and I made you take a nap (or so I thought) and about 10 minutes in, I hear you whining, so I go in and you had a wide staple thing stuck in between your 2 front teeth. WTH? Lol, well I had to wrestle you down to pull it out,  and you're bleeding all over and I'm cleaning you up, and I said Travie, that had to hurt goin in, why did you do that? And you said I don't know and laughed! Ornery lil cuss lol. So Aunt Susie learned that day to check on you every 5 minutes during your nap. I loved it when you would come hang out with us. Macie knew how smart you were and would always bust out her math homework and by golly, you worked  patiently with her til she figured it out. You were very smart kid. Trav, you were a tough guy, no doubt, but I know how full of love and compassion your heart was. I will miss your calls in the middle of the night cuz you needed to talk, I'll miss you popping over in a cab cuz you needed a hug. When I hugged you so tight I could feel a release in you. Never admitted you needed a hug, but you did. When Casey died, you came over and stayed 3 days. You said you didn't want to leave cuz you wanted to make sure the girls and I were OK. I wish you woulda found a good girl, raise a family. I know that's what you wanted so badly. I hope your pain has gone away. I love you my nephew. Always have and always will. I will see you someday. Until then hug everyone you love up there. Hug my daughter, and hug your mama, I know how much you missed her. Never forget your Aunt Susie loves you boy. And I will miss you very much. 

Trav you always said one day you were gonna be able to kick my a**. Nah you might be smarter but I’m stronger Id say. Well you finally did It baby brother. You kicked It hard. I can’t get up. I’m so lost without you. So many people love you so much. You are going to be deeply missed. You were the most amazing brother a sister could have. So smart, loving, caring, supportive and always there for everyone. Car broke down you fixed It. Needed a ride a friend a shoulder to cry on. You were there. No matter what you had going on in your own life you always dropped It to be there for everyone else. You never put yourself before others. There wasn’t anything in this world you couldn’t do. You were more of a dad to my boys then there own. I love you so much. We had so many memories and time together. Wish we had longer. Remember the baby bears we caught and put in grandpas truck? Or Nate going off the ravine and they were gonna charge us $10.000 an hour for a helicopter to get his Jeep out? You said nope we will get It even tho it  always had to be by helicopter before. A Cumberland cables and  3 hard days and you got It out. The impossible.  Only you.  I miss you so much. You will always be with me. I have your girls. I will love them to the end. Love ya Trav. Love Always Jessica Smith. 

Travis I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone your size I could put food down like you,you had to of had a hollow leg. He had crazy skills car mechanic, welder, electric skills I don’t think there was anything you couldn’t do. You leave behind some big shoes to fill, you leave a lot of a questions, and you left a lot of pain. I truly hope you found peace brother you will be missed.

I have so many great memories of you .You always was a great friend and like a brother 

Travis, you have always been a great friend, more of a brother to me. We could go without talking and catch up like it was just yesterday. The things you did and survived your Angel worked overtime.  When I  lost my Mom and sister you made sure to be there for me.  I will always hold a special place in our heart for you. One day we will catch up again, till then hold a spot for me. Love you bro!!! 

Travis, remember trying to figure how you got yourself in this tight spot.  Or the path you were gonna take to get out. 😆😆 I really appreciate everything you took the time to teach me, and put up with me answering a million questions about one task. Thanks for being a great mentor, I can turely say I learned a ton from you! 
  Can't forget the time, we were at the hospital just about to finish up for the day and you dropped a bolt down the conduit. We couldn't get it out that day, but you were determined to get it out. So you came in at like 4am the next morning, but not just get the bolt out. As you had probably planned, but you had pulled in almost 60 feet of wire with like 4 90s and a couple offsets, just by using a pulley strut and some mule tape. Truly a craftsman, with just about anything you could get you're hand on.

Travis, I only had the pleasure of working with you for about 4 months. But it was one hell of a ride. One of the first times I got to see some crazy stuff was watching you climb in that live switchgear in Aurora and cutting some wire with a sawzall and telling me, "guess  we cut the right ones or we wouldve known cutting into the second one". Haha people always told me before meeting you that it was gonna be rough and that you were an asshole but, after the first day, I knew you were a kind hearted dude and you shared lots of fun and crazy stories. You just wanted everyone to keep up with your work and know everything and it was good lessons learned watching you put in the work you did. I respect you, I miss ya dude, and you were a legend in your craft. No one I know is as brave or as ballsy as you were. Always remember, after hitting your finger with a hammer, "that's why they're called finger nails". Rest easy WildMan.

I remember the day you set your fire blanket on fire, which caused us all to stop and ponder exactly how that was even possible.  Driving to Comanche together and that day we almost called off because one of us hit 4 out of 6 numbers on the Colorado lottery... than we found out that was only $74 so our grand plans of splitting the riches went right out the window.  For our consolation prize we caught a late lunch at King Chef Diner and I watched in amazement as you consumed one of their gigantic breakfast plates smothered in the hottest green chili I've ever tasted... then you ordered dessert! 

I'll miss you buddy. You will always be my friend.

Travis growing up with you I considered you a brother not a cousin. I know you felt the same way.  We had so many memories. I'll never forget the time we got stuck in a hole. At that time there was nothing around there. We had to walk to 7-11 by Powers. When Danny and I got home mom and dad thought we were lying. Lol.  I'm going to miss you so much.   I'm sorry you never met the right person to get married to.  I could go on and  on. Just know I will never forget you. 

Travis, you remember the time you smoked the transmission in your Bronco and only reversed worked and you had to drive backwards all the way down Gold Camp road, or the time you were working top of Cheyenne Mtn in the winter and GC wanted to call it a day and you said call it a day hell we got work to do guess I’ll break the trail in my 2 wheel drive van and you can follow, or the sun rise in weld county working on that gas sample station, I love you dude and will greatly miss you!
 Your friend, James 

S**t, I've known Travis since I think we were 17. We used to have so much fun, he loved doing dangerous s**t, its what he lived for. It made me crazy. We have continued on as friends all these years later. We have been thru it man, but still always seemed to remain friends. I can't believe you're gone bro, you will be thought of everyday i promise. Fly high with the angels bro, now you're finally free, I love you. RIP Travis
