I taught Travis at MSHS his senior year. What a wonderful young man. My heart is sad for his passing so young. What a contribution he made to all of us during his short life. Know that my prayers are with all of you. I am the cousin of Judy Blevins Winebarger and the sister of Charlene Jones Burnop. I remember you, Shelby, when we were children growing up in Attoway. I will always remember Travis. God bless your family. Linda Jones Lox

Bob and Shelby, We were heartbroken to learn Travis died. We didn't know until after services were over or would have attended. He did so much so beautifully despite his short time: he gave the gift of music to so many children and even the Pope! What a wonderful life! We celebrate the loving parents who gave him to this world and mourn your loss of a stunningly gifted child, a young man who touched the world in such a positive way. God bless you both with peace and love, Mark and Lee Ann

Mr. and Mrs. Powell and family, I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Travis’ passing. Travis and I (like so many) grew up together, from kindergarten to graduation day. We even had piano together. And let’s not forget those crazy piano recitals. I use to get so nervous that I couldn’t stop shaking. He’d just grin and say you can do it and I could feel his prayer as it was my turn to play. Travis was definitely a master with those keys and could make them talk and walk. Anyone that was honored to hear him play was blest and knew he owned the moment. I am proud to call him my friend and proud of ALL his accomplishments over the years. I’m so sorry for your loss. Words can’t even describe how I feel. I don’t have any of my senior pictures but I do have memories and there’s one of Teresa Pruitt, Travis and myself in line getting ready for our big moment outside the gym---in that picture we all were saying “Friends For Life” and friends for life we were. Even though time has passed us by and we all rarely were able to communicate when we did cross paths—smiles, hugs, and fast updates were there. I was so looking forward to that catch up next year at our class reunion. He is going to be missed by so many. May God bless you and give you strength during this time of need now and the days to come.

Everyone has special memories of high school. Some of mine include Travis and his ever-witty comments he made to me on a near daily basis. I will always remember him as "Trav-O" which was on his license plates back then. I always tried to keep up with his achievements and talents through the local newspaper and was always proud to say that I knew him. God bless you and be with you as you go through this difficult time. Find peace in knowing that if there was no beautiful music in heaven before, we know for certain there is now.

We were so very saddened by this news. My daughter, Madeleine, was a bright, talented member of the St Cecelia's Children's Choir at St. Thomas Aquinas Schoo/Church in Dallas, TX. During his tenure at ST. Thomas, Travis organized the choir and through direction, dedictation and talent, brought the choir to their first conference in Chicago, IL. Travis was also my daugther's voice instructor and afforded her the opportunity to sing for the entire congregation at Christmas Eve Mass. He believed in the purity of the children's voices and sought special selections to showcase such a treasure. Travis' organ talents blessed St. Thomas with incredible music, often playing a gem after the recession at Sunday mass. There were many of us that would stay to listen and we always applauded. His passion for music and kind demeanor blessed us. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Greatness came to us within a gentle spirit. I knew Travis many years ago when we were both piano students in Marion, VA. He had so much musical talent and ambition and those piano recitals seem like only yesterday. He was a genuinely nice guy, one of the best and always had a big smile and a kind word. Few people make such an impression on me and I never forgot him. I was proud to call him my friend and very happy to hear of his accomplishments over the years. I’m shaken and deeply saddened to hear of his passing and words don’t come easily right now. I can’t begin to imagine your pain and loss. I offer my most sincere condolences, my thoughts and my prayers for the Powell family. God bless you.

Mr. and Mrs. Powell: My deepest sympathy on the loss of Travis. I remember him fondly from his days at Westminster Choir College and was privileged to have such a wonderful student. Besides his musicianship, he gave so much through his kind and gentle spirit. He gave his all as a member of the Westminster Concert Bell Choir which helped to inspire and challenge others to the same. Through the years, I've had the opportunity to see Travis at various conferences, most recently, this past June. I was happy to share a few minutes with him and hear of his work and successes.

Travis recently joined our chapter, and one of his students was a recipient of a scholarship for organ studies. I had the privilege to administer his national Colleague exam in November, and I enjoyed meeting with him, hearing his excitement for his work in Carey, and hearing him play the organ. I even still have his registrations saved on my organ console. I would like to have his test scores sent to his family, if someone could email me an address. Wishing the family God's peace, Pam Davis

To the Powell Family, I am so sorry to hear about Travis's passing. Listening to him play was truly magical. I will never forget when I first learned he could play so well...I was auditioning for some music scholarships and he agreed to accompany me. I gave him the sheet music to a little Schubert song and asked him if he could play it. He simply replied "yes". I went on to ask him if he needed to practice and he grinned at me and played it perfectly the first time and every time after. I’m sorry I will be unable to attend the services. I have previous obligations that I can not change. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I auditioned successfully and held that post until I graduated three years later. I will always remember Travis as a kind and considerate person; I will always be thankful for him. I was blessed to have him as a friend.
