I never got the opportunity to meet this great man, but have had some great times with his wife, Janet, who continues to live on Travis' enjoyment for life and driving their beloved NFR S2000, with good friends!
Janet, I am posting this because "Trav" is getting the recognition he deserves!
In memory of Travis Honeycutt and other S2ki members we've lost over the 10 year Span of S2ki.
"Gone but not forgotten"
So much sadness when you read each of the stories "Gone but not forgotten".
There is a common thread that runs through each one of those stories. The passion the person had for life and the strong community friendships that were built because of this car.
Since Trav's death I have used our S2000 to help me try to move forward and deal with the gaping hole in my heart. I have driven thousands of miles, meeting other S2000 folks along the way, sometimes exchanging a few words with other enthusiast as I pass through their town. Or attending some of the events like BMT, MOM, WTD and recently DBR. I am basically a quiet, shy, (occasionally outspoken) person that has found that I can drop in on almost any "S" event and feel like I am part of the family.

Trav and I kind of stumbled on to the S2000.
We dropped our son off at college in August of 2006 and decided the following week we needed to celebrate. Trav showed me a cute little car at the Honda dealership and I surprised him a few days later by buying it. We knew we didn't want to waste time with the empty nest syndrome and Trav had just been diagnosed in May with advanced prostate cancer. We needed to get on with enjoying life. At that time we had no idea there was an S2000 community. We had no idea the great times we were about to have.
Trav and I both loved to drive the car and would argue over whose turn it was. When someone would ask whose car it was, we also argued about that. That is how we ended up with the license plate MY S2K. We both would say "It's my car!".
Here are a couple more pics I like, a couple of these have a good story behind them that make me smile, that I am sorry to say I can not share.

These last two photos were taken on the Cherohala Skyway near the Tail of the Dragon, our last roadtrip we shared together.
Well, Janet, you could share the story behind the picture of him messing with the brake calipers. I told the punk I was going to paint mine, so next time I see him, yours are bright red. I can still see the grin.

Your most welcome Janet
Thank you for sharing with us the journey of your and Travis' great experiences because of this car.
I read through most of the stories as well.
Dealing with death often in my field, I often find myself wondering what their lives were like. I enjoy reading and learning about their stories.
Makes me feel like I met someone. When they are car enthusiast such as Travis, I feel like I share a special bond through the same experiences.
We at Gateway had the opportunity to meet Travis (and Janet) on more than one occassion. He was always full of joy and happiness and seem to live each day to the fullest. He truely did have a passion for life.
It was my pleasure meeting both of you as you will alway have a place in my heart. You are missed!!!! Here are some additional memories to share
