Travis there is not a day that goes by that you are not missed. You left two beautiful daughters who looks just like you. You fought this addition for so long, but always having a positive attitude and always making people laugh. You will always be in my heart. I thank God for the night we were able to talk and I told you I forgave you. Love Mom XOXO

Happy Birthday I love and miss you |
Travis, I can't explain what you will always mean to me and my family. I'm at a loss for words now when I had a million thing's I wanted to say. You were my best friend and I don't go a day without thinking about you. The girl's are so beautiful I know you are watching over them. Me and Christina hit 19 years together in March. I wish we could go back to the swimming hole with the kids and tell them some of our old cowboy stories. I love you brother, Happy Birthday until we meet again. I will talk to you like I always do this is killing me thinking about what to say. |
There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss you. I finally got clean and I wish you could live like this with me, it's just like we always talked about. I'm angry that you won't get that chance and I'm angry every time I see your beautiful daughters and how they're missing out on you and you're missing out on them, they're growing up to be such amazing little women!! Mostly I'm sad though, sad for the huge void left in all of our lives when drugs stole you from us |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS
April 23, 2015
Please know that your legacy, your life, your girls, Gabriel Elizabeth Kindel (Gabo)and Julie Aline Kindel ( Julie Bear) are growing up so fast and beautiful. Although you are not here, you are in our thoughts, we talk about you often continuing to laugh about things you did or said. We argue, comfort and counsel, inspire and challenge each other and always talk about what you would want. And even more importantly, we are in God’s hands. So that we come together to learn, to hold firm to one another for support, to learn wisdom and patience and compassion, to have hands that allow us to be better at anything we choose to do and be.
“I believe in what remains, in memory. That has to be good enough.”
Love you xoxo Mom
THE MOST PAINFUL GOODBYES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE NEVER SAID AND NEVER EXPLAINED.

Travis it has been 3 years that you have been gone. The hurt has never changed and it seems I miss you more and more each day. I know in my heart that you are no longer struggling and you have found peace. One day we will be together and there will be no more tears. I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER. Love Mom xoxo |
MERRY CHRISTMAS TRAVIS LOVE AND MISS YOU xoxo |
MERRY CHRISTMAS TRAVIS LOVE AND MISS YOU xoxo |
BECAUSE OF YOU
Because of you I appreciate the sunset more than ever before.
Because of you I stop to look up at the moon and wish upon a star.
Because of you I look forward to hearing the birds sing in the morning,
and thank God for their beautiful songs.
Because of you I am more understanding of others and accept people for who they are.
Because of you I look for the good in people.
Because of you material things do not matter.
Because of you the touch of someone you love is more
precious than any gift you can receive.
Because of you I have two of the most beautiful granddaughters, anyone could ever ask for.
Because of you I have a broken heart but I thank God for sending you to me and I was able to be your mother.
For there is no stronger love than I hold for you.
Until we meet again...
Love Mom xoxo |

Travis, Christmas in heaven is better than Christmas on earth. It is pure bliss. Not twinkling lights, but the radiant light of heaven itself. Not metal angels on trees, but real, holy angels of God all around.
You see, in heaven there is peace. On earth there is war. In heaven there is perfect harmony. On earth there is often friction among family and friends. In heaven, feasting and perfection. On earth there is fattening food and expanding waistlines.
We don't need to sorrow for our loved ones who are celebrating Christmas in heaven, but we do sorrow for ourselves over your absence.
Today, however, I wll remember to let Gabby and Julie know that you love them and will always be right there with them in their hearts.
So have a blessed and merry Christmas day. Love and miss you Mom XOXO |

Thinking about you everyday, as your birthday is fast approaching, and so is the one year of your passing. I miss you greatly! Love you travis, love always Ryan |
Travis, not a day goes by without you on my mind. I will never forget you! I can now be proud of myself for finally stepping up and getting clean on my time. I had to do this for me! The road is tough, but i know your looking down, helping me keep my head up and my feet forward. There is always a reason for everything, and maybe god took you to help someone else. And I believe that someone may be me. I will remain strong and I know I can do this, Thank you for giving me your hand and walking with me through this journey. We will meet again in heaven big brother. I love you and miss you dearly! love Ryan Mathis |
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms. I have you in my heart.....♥ ♥ ♥ |
i miss your smile, i miss your silliness, i miss our talks, i miss you stopping by unexpectedly, i just miss you. |
Love and miss you so much. |
Travis was one of of 5 boys, Jeff brought two to our family and Travis was the most outgoing. He had a heart for animals and seemed to get the most unusual types. Rats, snakes lizards etc.... And a cat named Too Do. A nickname given to him because he always wanted to do what you were doing. He was the type of person that always looked at the good in people. Always wanting to help someone. He always had a positive attitude and constancy reminded me to think of the glass half full, not half empty. The week before he passed , we had such a wonderful week. We did things and had talks that we had not had for a very long time.Fishing, walks at his favorite park, talks, cooking and working in the yard..
The night before his death I was woke to Travis playing the guitar. I got out bed and ask him to come sit on the porch I wanted to talk to him. There I explained the feelings I had for him about his addiction and that it had changed our relationship. needed to forgive him for the way I had been in our relationship. I know that the Lord was getting me ready for this loss. He then looked at me and said "that's OK Momma. He then cried and said that after his knee operation in 2002 had he known what these pills was going to do to him and his life he would had never ed started taking them.
People have asked could Travis wanted to do this and I say NO All the problems Travis was trying to deal with but yet he loved Life. He has two beautiful girls Gabby 12 and Julie 5 ,His marriage of 12 years was ending , his business going down, his home was being foreclosed. No vehicle.His ex wife pregnant. Yet you would have never know what he was dealing with. Always had a smile on his face and cracking a joke. He was a prankster and found humor in everything.
I thank the Lord for bring Travis into my life and for the things that Travis taught me. I hope to be more like he was and to always be greatful for my son. |
I miss you so much. Going to the memorial last night made me feel that I was not alone.This drug has taken so many people. So many lives have been changed forever. |
I've spent so many years worrying about you killing yourself. I know that wasn't your intention, I just wish you would've tried harder to quit. You used to tell me one of your favorite things was to have me lay my head on your chest, but the reason I slept that way was so I could hear your heart beating. I thought if it stopped it would wake me and I could save you. Your addiction destroyed more lives then your own. Nevertheless, I'll miss you and am grateful for the time we had. |
It has been 5 months since you left us. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you so much and know that one day we will be together again. Love you so much Mom XOXO |

Travis, There never goes a day without you on my mind. I can still hear your laugh. Laughing at all the funny jokes you told. You were a great friend, who was more like a big brother to me. You loved your two beautifull girls so so much, and they love you too. God took you too soon, but I know know your stressfull, painfull battle is now over. Your much happier and pain free. As you are now my angel looking down. I will look up too you for support, comfort and guidance. I love you TRAVIS KINDEL!!! Your little bro Ryan. |
