Travis Scott King, born on Nov. 19, 1977, in Eugene, Oregon, spent most of his youth in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Eventually, life took him to Denton, Texas, and later to Vista, California.
Travis was intelligent beyond his years and equally blessed physically. He spent years working in computer programming, construction, and even some underwater welding and diving.
He was also a loving father to his only child, Breanna.
A traumatic brain injury at the age of 41 changed his life forever. Because of his debilitating condition, he spent the next seven years living in an assisted living home, at home with his parents and finally at the Novato Healthcare Center.
Finally, on Feb. 25, 2026, surrounded by his family, he succumbed to his injuries and broken body.
He is survived by his daughter, Breanna Raymundo; granddaughter, Ruby Lou Raymundo; his siblings, Dawnielle King, Trevor King, Blancandrea Molina, Andres Molina, Gabriel Molina and Eduardo Molina; and his mom and stepdad, Michele and Andres Molina.
His father, Stephen M. King, passed away in 2011.
We love and miss you, Travis, happy that you are finally free again!

In Loving Memory of Caroline Sarah Davi
Born June 14, 1960 – Passed March 9, 2026
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye to a woman who meant everything to us. She was a devoted mother, a loving grandmother, and truly the heart of our family.
She loved her daughters and grandchildren more than anything in this world. Being with them brought her the greatest joy, and her love will forever live on in each of us.
She had a beautiful spirit – she loved to dance, sing, and spend time by the water, where she felt most at peace. She had a natural gift for making people laugh; it wasn’t something she tried to do, it was simply who she was. Her warmth, humor and light touched everyone around her.
She was everyone’s caretaker, always putting others before herself, always showing up with love, compassion, and an open heart. She was truly one of a kind – irreplaceable and unforgettable. She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Carolanne Osborn and Christine Vandenbroek; her grandson, Kamerin Rodgers; and her granddaughters, Emma Vandenbroek and Briley Davis.
She is now reunited with her mother, Violet Battams; her father, Ronald Battams; her sister, Janice Sutton; and her former husband, Bryan Davi.
Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in the love she gave so freely and the memories we will cherish forever.
“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.”
She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
