  • Mr and Mrs. Praznik, I'm so so sorry to hear of travis' passing. I haven't seen him since high school but saw a few facebook posts over the years and it was great to see him so happy.

  • Travis was a very old friend of mine and my family's. I am devastated and confused as to what happened. I cannot understand the course of circumstance that lead to this. I loved him, my brother Matthew loved him (he is no longer with us) in fact I believe Travis housed my baby brother Matthew. every time we ever met was out of pure chance and we always, every time, had a loud and hilarious time. laughter without restraint. He was always so happy, and I was always happy, to share his company. He was gregarious, hilarious, and will be sorely missed. Travis had a place in my heart that will never be filled. i pray for his family, and his son. I did not see this coming, not in a million years. for all of us that loved him, we will miss him dearly. on to the big skatepark in the sky. - Posted by: paul nicholas matczuk (superfriend) on: Jun 14, 2015

  • Travis was a wonderful person...and a lovely friend for so many years. I can't remember a time where he didn't great me with a huge smile and hug. We spent many a day belly laughing.. sitting on his stoop when he lived next door. We had many wonderful memories with mutual friends over the last 20 years. Sipping cold beers...enjoying great music, and kicking around the neighborhood. His loss is felt deeply in our community and I will forever cherish the time I had knowing him. He will live on in our hearts and through his beautiful son. Until we meet again Trav xx - Posted by: Anastasia O'Brien (Friend) on: Jun 10, 2015

  • Janet & Rick, Our hearts break with the news of Trav' passing. He was the best man at our wedding, my husband's best and longest friend and someone we all loved. Our son, Braydon, will always remember his times with Travis when he would take him snowmobiling or swimming, I'll always miss his smile, his hugs and what a joy he was to be around, or the many times he would pop in at our house even to just say hi. He was a wonderful man, a great father and the best of friends. I know how proud you both are of him. My heart aches for you. Your son will be missed by us greatly and we will always remember him with fondness and love. My deepest sympathies go to both of you, Janet and Rick and of course, Trystan, who is his mini me. Love you always! - Posted by: Jodi Storozinski-Mazur (Close Family Friend) on: Jun 09, 2015
