Travis William Ballingham

Ballingham family - I am saddened to learn of Travis' passing. I was good friends with Travis when we were in grade school at Brockett Elementary in Tucker, GA. I remember how sad I was when Travis was moving to Utah. I can tell from the other comments that Travis was an awesome man. I am deeply sorry for your loss but please know that Travis' friendship from way back in the 1970's/1980's is not forgotten. May God bless you all.

HI DAD I LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART MY LOVE IS WITH YOU! LOVE CAM BURGULAR

I went to your beautiful service today. There was so much love between your Mom and Dad and Brett and your beautiful children. So many friends. What a wonderful expression of the amazing legacy you left behind. The words dignity and grace fill my mind. I love you T-Rav. Watch over us my friend. Until we meet again...

My old friend, I'm sorry I couldn't escape from the American dream to see you one last time. I am so upset by this news. I remember the first day you showed up from GA. We played bicycle tag in those crappy condos where we lived in Murray. We were friends ever since. Sometimes we bickered and brawled, but always friends. We had so many good times in our early years. We had so many laughs. Our lives consisted of going to school and figuring out what type of mischief would be cause on our weekends. I haven't seen you in 20 years, but I actually talk about you all the time. I talk to my 4 kids about respect and manners, and it always leads to my friend Travis. He was undoubtedly the most polite young man I ever knew. You have always been and example to me on how to treat others. Glen and Linda, Thank you for raising such a fine example for all of us he left behind. I am so sorry for your incredible loss. This world is a bit darker without him here. He will truly be missed.

I loved you so much and i really hope you know that we loved you so much. He will be greatly missed and loved. He was such a great man. I LOVE YOU TRAVIS!!!!!!!!!

Trav- I am waiting for the time to leave to come to your funeral. This will be my last time to say Goodbye. I am not ready! I wanted to say that I love you and will miss you every day. Your smile, your laugh, your hugs and how you always called me sis! You should know that during your short life you have inspired and made a huge impact on a lot of people. I hope you know that. I feel like everyones comments, love and support has helped us through this devastating time. You were loved by many but no one loved you as much as your family. It's hard to imagine our family with out you there. It will never be the same and that breaks my heart. I know we will see you again and that is what keeps me going. I love you bro! May you rest in peace! Love, Your Sis-

I met Travis through my mother while she was working at the Olive Garden. His smile was the first thing that caught my eye. Travis loved his children. That is one thing I noticed the more I got to know him. I met his son one time and you could tell that Travis was really proud of him. His little girls where the light of his life. He constantly talked out them and expressed how he never wanted them to grow up cause he wanted them to be his little girls forever. My heart broke the moment I heard of his passing I am truly and deeply sorry for your loss. I will never be able to walking into another Olive Garden without having Travis in my thoughts. My heart goes out to his family especially his children in this difficult time. May you find peace in knowing that he will always be in your hearts and that wherever your life takes you, he will be there.

This super amazing man has left us far to soon. I send my deepest sympathy to his family and friends to numerous to count.I will be forever grateful for the kindness and compassion he had for my Daughter Lisa, who worked for him at the St. George Olive Garden .When Lisa was and emotional mess after a very sad divorce, Travis held her up and gave her chances when probably no one else would. He could see something special in her. Because of Travis and his intuitive nature and compassion, Lisa rose through the ranks at OG from waitress to training others and a Floor coach. Thank You Travis for giving her a reason to believe in herself again. You will forever hold a place in my heart and the hearts of many others that you touched so deeply. A man that any family could be proud of!

Brett- I'm so sorry for your loss. He was such a cool guy. Death is so hard to deal with. I wish you all peace in your hearts. Stay strong! Thinking of your family....... Jessica Archuleta

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.
