It is said that life is like a book in which some chapters are happy, some are sad, and some are more exciting than others. For Travis, although his book was too short, it remains full of adventures to tell, lessons to learn, and tales of good deeds to remember; but of all the pages, the legacy that will live on in Chloe will be the most beautiful chapters of all.

Memorial Services will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the United Methodist Church in Stockton. A private family inurnment will take place at a later time. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Chloe Scott Scholarship Fund and may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 N 1st Street, Stockton, KS 67669.
