My heart and prayers go out to the French family. I knew Travis when he was a student at NKU. Travis was one of a kind always had a smile. I was so sad to hear the news.

Chris Styles - Mar 5, 2014

I only new Travis during college at NKU, I considered him as a friend and a leader. I remember my freshman year in 1999 he would ask me how I was doing and if i needed help with anything.
It was a very sad day when I heard of his passing and held my son tight. I hope my son grows to do right by others as Travis did for his own father.

May the Lord wrap you in his arms and give you peace and strength as you celebrate the life of Travis,

Christopher Tyner - Mar 3, 2014

Travis was one of the kindest individuals I ever met. While we didn’t associate in the same social circles, or were involved with same campus groups while at NKU, he always interacted with me like the opposite was true. A overwhelmingly positive individual that seemed as if nothing could ever bring him down. I always enjoyed interacting with him and listening to his stories.. Keeping his family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.
