Support for Travis Jeffords's Memorial Expenses

Dear friends & family,

Travis Jeffords, beloved father, husband, son, brother, friend, and counselor, brilliant composer, musician, and poet, died unexpectedly Sunday morning after a long struggle with his mental health. He is survived by his wife, Ashlee, his parents Angelica and Chuck, his brother John, and his two young daughters, Roxie and Simone.

The situation with Travis's life insurance is uncertain given the nature of his death. In light of that, the family is asking for your support. Your contribution will help cover funeral expenses, medical bills incurred in the lead up to Travis's untimely departure, and other miscellaneous expenses. Please share this with your networks as you're able.

Travis's memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, November 2nd. If you would like more details, please reach out to me directly.

Travis was a beautiful, gentle soul, and I know I speak for all who knew him when I say that we miss him dearly. I'll close with a quote from the man himself, sampled from lyrics to my personal favorite song of his, The Ground Shakes With Your Heartbeat (c. 2006). This is Travis at his most hopeful, curious, and open-hearted, the Travis I saw shine through every day that I knew him.

We know we've got questions when answers

Seem hard to come by

But I know I'm not giving up.

When there's a Love as old as the sunrise,

Stretching high as the mountains

And wider than my doubts and disbelief?

The ground shakes with Your heartbeat

We love you, Travis. Our grounds are shaking today.
