Thank you NorthEscambia.com and the community of Bratt and surrounding areas for loving and supporting my family during this tragic time. It truly a blessing how people can come together to “just be there” when its needed most! I am proud of my family for giving back the love and support. From cooking and delivering turkey dinners on Christmas day, coming together in the freezing cold to place wreaths on fallen soldiers gravesides and something simply as hanging a poarch swing at the living assisted home in Enon. You guys are truly an inspiration to myself and everyone else to be better! We sure do love you guys, God bless you and everyone! Daniel Nelson & Family

What a lovely tribute and a very deserving family. The Nelsons truly are wonderful, kind, giving and loving people and their son was an inspiration to all who knew him. Semper Fi Travis….we still miss you. Beckie, Scott, Anna and Madeline, know that we are still keeping you in our prayers and thoughts.

This is one of the kindest, most generous families I have ever met. Two of my children and another child who was with me, went to their house to deliver some things the day after they received the news. Beckie and Scott were so concerned with making sure we had anything we needed and the children were okay and making sure we were comfortable instead of worrying about themselves. I left to go get ice and Beckie insisted the children stay there and play with the other children who were there. I did not know Beckie and Scott that well before this, only seeing them at our ballpark, but I have come to truly love them as if I had known them forever. There is nothing I would not do for them and I feel there is nothing they would not do for me or my family. I was honored to be able to stand on the side of the road in Walnut Hill and in Atmore as Travis and his family and friends came by. I was humbled to be able to help them on Christmas Day with the meals. Two of those meals went to my elderly neighbors who have expressed their deepest gratitude for the delivery. Scott and Beckie give so much without expecting anything in return. They truly deserve this honor and I am proud to call them my friends.
