Travis James, Danville, IL—Travis James, aged 26, tragically passed away on November 29, 2024, after being struck by a car. His untimely passing has deeply shaken the community. Travis was known for his kind, loving nature and his selfless spirit, always willing to lend a helping hand to others.
His sister, Tassie Goulding, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the funeral costs, as Travis did not have life insurance or savings. The goal of the fundraiser is $8,000, to cover the expenses for a viewing and cremation. Any funds raised beyond that will be donated to causes that were dear to Travis, such as The Shriners and an Autism Fund, both of which he passionately supported.
Ashley Haas Golden, a friend and former teacher of Travis, shared heartfelt memories on social media, stating, "Oh, Travis – I know as teachers we aren’t supposed to have favorites but if I’m being honest he was always one of mine! The memories of this young man are absolutely endless … some of them extremely difficult but many, many are so bright and fun! I will look back on them with a smile in my heart for having known Travis."
The Celebration of Life for Travis is tentatively set for December 8, 2024, depending on availability. The family is thankful for any donations and prayers during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Travis’s family and friends as they navigate this heart-wrenching loss.
