Jordinly Barker
He was the coolest uncle ever. I've been through very similar things he has in his life. He understood my pain more than anyone else. He gave the best advice that I will always cherish. He was always just so happy, patient and had a very great sense of humor. I remember as a kid my dad and Travis were doing something with the deer my dad got hunting, and Travis was telling me he wished they had a vending machine where you could choose your own deer meat. That was so funny to me as a kid. He didn't have much, but he always wanted to give. He just wanted to see other people happy. For that reason I feel like he was probably very fulfilled inside, as it makes you feel good yourself to lift up others. He never let his health conditions control him or his happiness. Such an easy going man. He was always reminding people of his love for them. I always felt valid and important when I was around Travis. I don't know any person who is more wholesome than he was. I admired him for his dreams and ambitions. Even with his health stuff going on he always had dreams and goals that he wanted to achieve. Me and him have very similar personalities and I feel like he saved me from making a lot of mistakes by sharing his own mistakes. Even if I did make mistakes he never judged me. He never judged anyone. He just wanted to love and be loved. He helped me out tremendously in some of the darkest times of my life. The cat that hangs around here at the house that was attached to Travis seems kind of lost without him. He really had a way with animals. Nobody could really get through to that cat that we've named Mr. G lol but it always wanted to be around Travis. Travis radiated such warm, positive energy that it was contagious. He may be gone from the physical world, he will never be gone from our thoughts and memories. Till we meet again Trav, I love you.
