We are heartbroken at the loss of one of InvisiYouth Charity’s longest supporters, and one of founder Dominique’s dearest friends, Travis Flores. He was one of the kindest, most compassionate, intelligent and brightest lights in the philanthropy community, and lived his life with cystic fibrosis with such passion and zest for life. He created a unique lane for himself being an award-winning children’s book author, executive producer and activist and reached so many accolades in his life.
Travis was featured on Season 4 of The CW’s My Last Days, created by Jane the Virgin star and Five Feet Apart director, Justin Baldoni, and opened up about his coming out story to his amazing husband. He used his large social media platform, the #YellowHeartSquad as his fanbase, to also document his journey to have three double lung transplants, and how he always was so resilient to continue to be a truly brave warrior.
With InvisiYouth, Travis was our first returning special guest on our popular video podcast chat show, InvisiYouth Chat Sessions. He was a stellar guest on Season 1 Episode 7, and returned again for Season 2 Episode 25. Please feel free to watch or listen to these episodes to celebrate Travis’ life and get to learn even more about his beautiful personality, humor and talented work.
On a personal note, Travis was a longtime friend of founder Dominique. They shared so many laughs, deep conversations, and a passion to use their experiences to give back to others, while sharing that support with each other.
Founder Dominique stated, “This is one of the most challenging and heartbreaking moments. Thank you for being my friend for all these years, Travis. I will forever be thankful our paths crossed, and we’ve been able to support each other, work together, and laugh together. I’ll miss you always and continue supporting you and keeping you in my heart and memories. Please know that I will always be here to support and send love to your husband, and your family. You’re an amazing and talented person, a beautiful and witty soul, and a remarkable friend. I will forever miss you, and love you lots, my friend.”
We know Dominique and all of the InvisiYouth team will forever miss Travis, and continue to support his loved ones. We will be keeping Travis’ legacy and passions in our hearts, and be also top of our minds as we continue our work and mission so his legacy lives on. We love you, Travis, and will always be here, thinking of you.
