Dec. 23, 2009,
I’m not too smart with a computer. I actually googled Sgt.Travis Twiggs and came across the messages written about Travis. It’s almost a second Christmas without T-Bo and Will..The mental pain never leaves…At times it subsides but heavier doses strikes when we least expect it to. Nancy and me just let it hurt..It can hurt as long as it wants to…We’ll manage it. We still cry a lot. Knowing them as children and coming forward thru the years makes it really tough around Christmas time…To all of you with children..young or old..I hope you never lose one..The pain isn’t near as bad as…Just missing them…They left so much love behind..We can’t give it to anyone else…It was for Will and Travis..

Lori, I have a telephone # and address for Kellee. If you email me I will send it to you. After the comments made by C.B. Varner I wouldn’t feel comfortable posting that here.

I just heard this news today. I went to high school with T-Bo for a brief time in Miami. He was an AWESOME kid!! One of our mutual friends just emailed me a link to the news story.

I have a picture of him from back in the day. Does anyone know how to contact his wife? I would love to send it on to her. RIP T-Bo.

I just learned of this tragic event today. I am torn to the very depths of my soul for the loss of such a fine Marine, husband, father and friend. I served with Travis as an instructor at Paris Island. He was the most motivated, dedicated and tactically proficient Marine I ever had the honor to know. He touched everyone that he served with in a way that only those privldge few will know. I can still hear his voice as he bellowed motivation from deep within. It reached out and captivated young men and women wanting to be Marines. If you were worth half your weight in salt, you longed to be like “T-bo”; for he was to our generation, John Wayne. He was a mans’ man. He loved his family, his country and the Corps more than most could hope to be capable of. There will forever be a whole in my heart for this brother of mine. May god grant him the peace in death that he could no longer find in this life.

Kellee, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there is nothing I could ever do to take away your pain, but if I could ever help you and the girls out, in any way, you know you are family. I would do anything for you. If anyone else in the family reads this please pass my email along to Kellee. quinttibeau@comcast,net

Tebeaux,
May the heavenly Father watch and shelter your family and loved ones. You were by far the most outstanding Marine I’ve ever known. May your demons haunt you no more in heaven. Rest in peace Warrior…

Travis Twiggs was the finest Marine I ever met. Outspoken, and dedicated, he did with ease what every Marine toils to do and become. From serving side by side with him, to having him as my best man, he will be missed. As for Kelley, Ireland and America, all of my love to you. May you be able to find peace.

The cutest sweetest nicest little boys. Not perfect, but wounderful boys who I remember as the three amigos. I thought I’d like to have boys just like them someday. I am so grieved to hear such profound tragedy.

My thoughts and prayers are with Will and T-bo’s family.

I pray in the name of Jesus that God grant peace and a renewed vision of His grace to Kellee, Ireland, America and all who mourn T-Bo and Willard. In response to C. B., definitions of “glorified” must differ as much as understandings of God and mercy. I would not be so bold as to judge fallen brothers. That should be left to thier judge and as for arguments on thier behalf, that comes from thier advocate. But if Paul hadn’t taken the title, I would believe that I am the chief of all sinners, yet God has covered me with the righteous blood of Christ as he did T-Bo and Willard. And like T-Bo and Willard, I’ll never truly be righteous except through that sacrifice.

If you only knew the whole truth, he would not be glorified. Sad as his death was drugs and alcohol played a vital role. May God have mercy on their souls.

Travis Twiggs was one of the smartest and bravest fighting men I have ever had the honor and privilege to be among, at war. I will never forget in Western Iraq, when he planned and executed brilliant missions to discover enemy caches of explosives and small arms. I am terribly saddened to hear of his death, and that of his brother. Like Rainy Clay says on this site, “I don’t know why Travis would take his brother’s life and his own, but this was not the Travis I knew. He was a good, kind and loving person.” She is absolutely right. And if he had not suffered from PTSD, he would have completed his career in the Marines, no question. Please pray for his widow, Kellee, and for Ireland and America. May God be with the Twiggs family.
