Has there been any word on the cause of his death?

On Tuesday, the worst fears about last month’s surgery were realized. Travis was rushed to the University of Vermont Medical Center for emergency surgery due to complications from the previous surgery. When he died Thursday afternoon, his parents and sister Tobi were at his side.

I'm just going to go sit in the corner and cry now. :-(

That is absolutely heart breaking.

That's exactly how I feel. Even though he's not related to me, it still feels like losing a family member. I lost a sister unexpectedly on 11/8/16 which was the last election day. She had a lot of health issues like Travis. So it's a tough time. Travis did a wonderful job under unfortunate circumstances and for that, he will ALWAYS be in the hearts and minds of those he touched. RIP...........
