My friend, Travis Gagnon, passed away from complications of the flu on Saturday, February 25, 2012. He was 36 years old and the father to newborn daughter, Camryn. Travis was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, and made me feel very welcome when I first moved to Waukesha. He liked to joke that he was in a “mixed relationship” because he was a liberal and his significant other, a conservative. Politics aside, Travis was a beloved community member and his loss will be felt deeply by anyone who knew him at all. Please consider donating to his daughter’s memorial fund or to the fundraiser that will be held in his name at the Wisconsin Athletic Club (West Allis) on March 2 and 3rd.
Thank you,
Lisa

Lisa – Thank you for these kind words!!! Travis was so lucky to have such wonderful friends in his life. We were in a Mixed relationship. 😉 However, I found it opened our minds to a lot of different things and I hope to pass all of that on to our daughter.
Yesterday was fathers day and we missed Travis very much. In looking for online information to put into a memory book for Camryn I found this blog and I am going to print it out for her scrap book about her father. Than you again! It means so much!
Kind Regards,
