Travis Kim Dalby

Travis Kim Dalby
Our beautiful son, Travis, was born to Kim C and DaNaze Dalby June 1, 1974. On April 2, 2010 Travis joined his sister, Camille, who passed away Nov 5, 2008.
Travis is survived by his parents, his 3 sons, Tristan Kim Dalby, age 13, Sabian Max Dalby, age 11 and Griffin E. Dalby 16 months. He is also survived by his brother Bret and sister Michelle, his nephew Michael, his niece Jayce, his ex- wife Emily Newman, mother of Tristan and Sabian, and Raychel Cole mother of Griffin.
Travis is preceded in death by his grandparents Max and Betty Dalby, Albert and Fern Earl, Sister Camille and nephew Ayden Bosh.
Tristan and Sabian want to say of their dad that he was an artist. He always sent them cards to let them know he was always thinking of them and to let them know how much he loved them.
How does a Father tell his deceased Son how he feels? The Son listens; the Father listens. They forgive each other and love each other forever. Travis, have some fun with Camille, help where you can, and make the Universe smile. Dad
We worked so closely together Travis. Mother and son, building a business we could both be proud of. You taught me so much and showed me such love. You would often say to me: "Hey, mom! Did I ever tell you that you are my hero? You are such a beautiful and amazing lady and I love you." I love you back Travis.
His nephew Michael gave us some wise words that we will try to follow. He told us that Travis had tremendous courage and always fought even if sometimes the fight was not in the right direction. Travis struggled most of his life with addiction. It took great courage to overcome the obstacles and challenges he faced. Every day the courage he had helped him be a better person. Michael told us to take that incredible courage that he taught us and to use it to help us through this life. Use the courage to change and learn, to grow and to heal and remember him for that gift he gave us. Camille brought us unconditional love for everything. We are to use her gift and do the good we can as we try to move forward after the loss of our children.
Travis was a jeweler for many years. He loved creating beauty. He was a master technician for our company, NHance Wood Renewal where he worked along side of his brother Bret. He took great pride in the work he did. We have never seen anyone who could take any project given him and figure out how to complete it. He could fix most anything, just by thinking about it and figuring it out. He was amazing.
We will forever be grateful for the lessons you have taught us. Our consolation comes from knowing that you are free from your struggles, that you are with your beloved sister Camille and that you will be by our side and with your boys constantly helping, supporting and guiding us on the rest of this life's journey until the day we join you and celebrate the life we have all lived with the love you and Camille brought to us. We pray to learn the lessons that we all agreed to along time ago. We ask God to be with those of us here and give us the strength to learn and grow as he would have us do. Go now son, be at peace and know that you have done well, taught much and loved as deeply as we have loved you. Certainly the simple words "rest in peace", go far beyond simple.
"God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, The courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference".
A remembrance for family and friends will be held Tuesday, April 6, 2010 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm at the club house of Vintage on the Bluffs townhouses located at: 1519 W Cabernet Dr (14010 S) Bluffdale, Utah 84065
