Travis Teague Obituary

Travis,
Even after all this time I still find myself thinking of you often..
Its Heartbreaking to think of back then and wish I could go back and have the opportunity to changed things. You were honestly one of the most genuine people I have ever had the privilege to know. You were a reflection of the type of parents you had.
I know youre resting in paradise with your parents, Clarence and Mary Beth.
So much I wish I could say but Im sure you already know...
Youre loved and missed
-H

Travis

From the first day that I met you in Cancun I knew from that moment that you were someone special. We shared many great times together and even though we were in different states we found a way to keep in touch through the years (via e-mail or phone). I admired the way you were, and the friendship that we kept strong. In November when I had seen you (it had been two years since the last time) I was only able to see you once out of the entire time I was in Chicago. I am grateful that I saw you for that short time before you passed, but I still wish we could have hung out a little more. I'm hurt, lost, lonely, and truly devastated, but I have finally realized in time that things will get better. Travis you were a great friend and I will miss you till the day we meet again!!!

Marcus, Chris and Steve,

I am so sorry to hear about Travis. I wish I could have been there to share my condolences with all of you. Travis always had a smile to share and he will be greatly missed. I will be thinking of you all. Take care of each other. Love, Amy

Travis- this is just not right things are not suspose to happen this way. how can you be happy and healthly one day and the next your gone. my heart is broken; i may not have known you long but i feel like i have. i thank god that he blessed me by letting me know you, i just wish it could of lasted longer, may you rest in peace and my blessings go out to everyone who is heartbroken as well. hugges and kisses to travis.

I remember Travis from my days at Loyola and he was one of the most sincere people on campus. I will always remeber him for his positve energy and his contagious smile. He had a way of making each and everyone feel special. Although, I lost touch with him over the years, he will always hold a place in my memory. My condolences go out to all who had been touched by Travis. What a wonderful spirit he was!

Though I wasn't close friends with Travis, he made it feel like we were when he was around. He had a true gift of kidness, one which we can all learn from. We are better for having known people like Travis. Though it provides little relief at this time, know that Travis made the world around him a better place. My heart and prayers go out to all of his loved ones.

Heaven seems like it's a really good place to be because, all the peaceful brothers seem to be there.

Rest in Peace.....God bless the Teague Family

Travis was a good guy who made alot of people smile, and he also kept a smile on his face. He is in a better place now though. You'll be missed by alot of people. One Love.

I hope the courts up in heaven are soft on your knees,

And the events you promote up there are like 400 degrees,

I hope the people in heaven are as touched by your smile,

As were down here for too short of awhile.

Although you were with us on Earth for just 27 years,

There are not many people that we could call one of your peers.

You gave us so much in so short of a time,

That we want to stop the shot clock and turn back the hands of time,

But we can't so we all have been sad and we've cried,

And we laughed when we talked of the good times with pride,

We shared with Travis Tyrone Teague over the years,

We all say we love and miss him & hope that he hears,

All the people that are heartbroken and stricken with tears,

Over the loss of one person that no could mirror.

We miss you Big Dog and thank you for all-

I'm speaking for Marcus, Chris, family, all your friends and Hall,

The happiness you brought to us even when you were having tough days,

We all promise the memories you left with us will never fade.



May you rest in peace.

Travis was an amazing person who had a positive impact on many people's lives. We all will miss you. Your family and friends are in my prayers.

We have been touched by TRAVIS!



And while we mourn his passing from our lives, we cherish what a wonderful friend he was to our nephew Paul. Two Loyolans who loved basketball as much as they loved life. We will never forget the weekend that they crashed at our home while playing in a Gus Macker tournament at the high school adjacent to our residence. They ate and laughed and played hard. They also WON and presented my husband with their winning plaque! These are memories to cherish. The T's in his name simply stand for TERRIFIC.



May he lead the choir of heavenly ANGELS with his beautiful smile this Christmas!

Travis I love you. It is too hard to go on without you. I know you would not condone a tear in my eye, thats why I hold my head up and keep on moving. You always make the best of every situation so it gives me confidence to know that you are rockin heaven now. You are probally up there shaking your head at all of us mourning at your funral. Like Jay Z said, you were too good for earth anyway. I need you and miss you dearly. p.s. Lily says she misses you.

What can I say about Travis... He was a great person who's life ended way too soon. I knew him for less that a year and I will not forget him. He had an in-explainable way of "capturing" people. He will be truly missed. My condolences go out to everyone that was close to him both family and friends. Travis, may you R.I.P. You are gone but definitely not forgotten.

To all the friends, family, and lucky remaining many, who were blessed with the oppurtunity to have met Travis Teague and shared in the good times with such a "cool cat" I wish you the best; Travis will remain in all of our prayers.

Travis was truly one of those extraordinary people that inevitably left an "imprint" on everyone he knew.

One of the multiple gifts Travis posessed was his natural ability to bring happiness and a positive light upon situations, I thankfully was able to share in some of those great moments and will always remember Travis' bright shiny smile- through prayer may his light shine on.

what can i say....i remember when travis and I first met at Loyola U. i was a new kid just looking to make some friends. i was living with my parents at that time and it was hard to make friends. when i met travis he made me feel welcome. he respected me for who I was and actually thought i was cool. from that day on travis and I were very close friends. i loved that guy like a brother..we made each other a promise that we would always remain close friends but unfortunately things change. i feel like i never got a chance to really talk to him why we stopped being friends. i will always remember the good times we had in Cancun, Acapulco etc. i will always remember the laughs and cries we shared together. i will always cherish the lessons he taught me like big brother would. rest in peace.

It's really hard to beleive that one week ago today we were all at Skylight together having so much fun and today we are all so sad.This is the first thursday in a long time that we didn't go out.But it will never be the same again without Travis that's for sure.He will be missed more than he ever could imagine! I just hope he knew how special he was to so many of us.He will never be forgotten!

From the first time I met Travis, he touched my heart. Every time he walked into Spoon or Skylight, he would give me the biggest hug and smile the biggest most beautiful smile. I felt so close to him, even in such a short time and I am deeply saddened by his death. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his friends and family. He will be truly missed. All of my love, Kelly

Travis you have made your transition into eternal life. We loved you here on earth as a brother,uncle,cousin,or friend but God loves you best. I know and believe in God's word St.John 14:1-3,that you are in a better place you will be greatly missed.

I went to kindergarden all thru high school with Travis. What a happy, loving and funny man he was. I will miss his memory and smile when I think of the TTT.

Some of my best memories were spent with Triple T! Thank you for all those great times! Travis was truly a beautiful person filled to the brim with love. You will be in our hearts forever. No words can ever describe your impact on our lives.

The first time I saw Travis was in a picture from this years halloween party. He was dressed as Elvis and he had the biggest smile on his face. I knew instantly that he was a cool guy. Unfortunately, Travis and I never met face to face. We made plans to hang out recently and it saddens me to know that will not happen now. I only knew him for a short time, but I miss him already. My heart goes out to his family, friends and co-workers.

Travis was a little boy with a great big smile who grew into a big man with a great big smile. Travis, I know your mom and dad are happy to see you again. The rest of us will miss you. I love you.

I know there are no word's to explain the shock and sadness we are all feeling right now.And i know thing's will never be some same without Travis.Our thursday's will never be the same without him there making us laugh and just making sure we were having fun.Even though we didn't know Travis too long it seemed like we knew him forever and this is a hard thing to deal with.How someone so full of life with such a beautiful soul could be taken so soon.He will missed more than he could ever imagine.And we will never forget him! Heaven's havin a party now!

My prayers are with the friends and family of TTT.

Travis,

You were one of the few people that I knew that always had something positive to say, it is one the things that I admired about you. I am going to miss you very much.

Love,

Lali

Travis,



What can I say... Every time I saw you, you were always full of jokes and laughter. You will definitely be missed. Don't worry, I will take care of your girl for you. Many prayers to your family and friends.



Love and Respect,

Jessica

I just can't understand why some of the most wonderful, genuine people, in our lives, have to be taken away, like Trav. He was always a nut and always brought a smile to your face. I have been lucky enough to have had Travis in my life, and from here on out, he will always remain in my heart. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Uncle T T T,

You are the greatest person in my life. You were the person who would always laugh at my jokes and give me joyfulness. I love you.

Love your niece, Alyssa

I remember the first time I saw Travis. At the time I called him "stripes" because I hadn't actually met him yet but he was wearing a striped sweater and hat. I knew there was something special about him. I was lucky to meet him soon after and was just blown away by his positive energy. It's hard to understand why this happened to such a great person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Please take care of one another.

Travis- I'm really, really going to miss everything about you. Your smile, loud laugh & huge hugs! You are a very special person, one with the biggest heart. I'm really glad to have had you as a part of my extended family (as I call it). It's very hard for me to accept & understand this untimely tragedy. It's reassuring for me to think of you being in a better place, ecspecially now that you are with your Mom & Dad again.

Miss you!!

Vicki

I knew Travis through John and Brad. He was always hilarious and had me laughing and smiling no matter what mood I was in. When he entered a room, he would brighten it up. Much prayers, love and peace for Travis... I know he is with the Lord.

A face that will never be forgotten and a smile that will stay in our heart's forever!!

Travis was the most positive, upbeat person I have ever met. He will live in my heart forever. My deepest sympathy to the Teague family.

My Condolances to Travis' Family and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Christopher, Marcus and Erma,



My heart is breaking with this sad news. Having met Travis only once when he was very young and again as an outstanding young man at my dear friend, Mary Beth's wake, I wish I knew him better. He seemed like someone who could bring great joy to others. I am so sorry for your loss, words cannot express. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Mary Ann

To my brother, the man who took the largest smile in the world and now has turned it into the brightest star in the sky. Travis, there will never be another like you. Thank you for the short time you spent here with us. I am a better man for having known you. I love you Big Dog, and always will.

I am very sorry for your loss. At many stahla family gatherings he was the the entertainer. As you share your stories and memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant, may you find comfort in knowing how special Travis truly is.

Travis was one of the nicest, sincere, most friendly person i have ever known, sympathy to his friends and family, you will be missed Travis!!
