A great mind gone, but won't be forgotten...

Down in the lower right side of this blog is

a list of other blogs that I go to read. Some

are done often... some not...

The one called  TG's Raves and Rants

it is 3 years old.  He only did a few in

the two years that he wrote. But they

were each very powerful.  But the lure

of Facebook, where he could debate,

have fun, with his friends took over

the blog time. 

He had an opinion.. yes, I would

say on just about everything. He

could quote facts, he had common

sense opinions, something that is rare

in these days.

And a wild and wonderful wit. His

sense of humor was great... some

probably didn't understand.. but

those of us who read his comments,

ALWAYS laughed.. and if we weren't

laughing..  we were thinking..

Yet he was a gentle giant. His love of

birds and his dogs were huge. But

most of all.... the love of his wife, Emily

was the strongest of all.  They have

been married.....what 10?, maybe even

15 years?  And their love is so very

strong..  Great respect for each other,

yet could pull off some kind of prank

on each other.  They are a perfect

match.

And the reason why I am writing this

today?  First this is the King and my

nephew... The King's oldest brother's

son.  And he passed away, with out

warning.. at 1:30am in his sleep at the

tender age of 38.

Leaving a huge hole in all of our lives.

Family, friends. gaming friends, Facebook

friends...work friends..

He had a great love of music, movies, Star Wars,

and D&D type games... and some what W0W game.

Also he was a greatly loved cartoonist.

Face Book lit up, as the word past thru

the day, as each learn of his passing.

Hundreds of comments of broken hearts

.. and still coming in. 

Loving words... some showed pictures

of him, or the one showed the instruments,

telling how they played rock music for him,

in his honor......very LOUDLY..

In a couple of weeks there will be a celebration

of life for Travis... all will gather one last time

to share their love of him together.  Trying

to fill the hole.  And the sad feeling of what

could have been.  38 is way too young to

leave us all.

found this picture on his Facebook page.. seems fitting.. even though is is about 25 years ago..or so.

 Good night sweet prince....
