Warrior Gone

With infinite sadness must report my youngest son, Travis Robert White, died last night.

 While we wait for a coroner report, the most likely cause was a blood clot from his bad leg causing a stroke. Travis suffered from Chronic Reflex Pain Syndrome, a horrid affliction, and was a 100% disabled Army medic and Afghan veteran, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division. 

 A warrior to the end, he had returned home from a work road trip. Disabled or not, his family and their needs came first.

 He leaves a wife and five children, two adopted. Knowing him, I'm sure he was prepared for this and arranged for their welfare and future.

 Please understand I won't be blogging in the near future nor responding to comments on this post.

 Prayers will be appreciated.

    Please know how much your friendships with my Brudder mean to him and to me. He is "soldiering" through this event. He needs all of our support.

    I'm very sad to hear of you son's passing. If he's like his father, he was a gem of a man.

    I appreciate his service to his nation and for his sacrifice.

    Innige deelneming. I don't have any wise or comforting words - but you and your family are in my thoughts. May he rest in peace and may you all find comfort remembering him and the time well spent together.

    Dealing with unavoidable suffering is often just what we do.

    I hope that you and your family are coping, which is all that you can do.
