The statement reads: "We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences.

Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolences from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future.

With love,
John, Kelly and Ella"

An autopsy for Jett will reportedly be held on Monday in the Bahamas, where the tragedy took place.

hey false idols and anonymous, god has our time and the hour when he calls us home. how could you and anonymous be such cruel ignorant people in the face of tragedy. making disaparging remarks shows your level of intelligence, pure ignorance. all i can think of that you have so much hate in your heart, there is no love, no empathy, no sympathy. you all are sickos. you need to be 5150’d. you are all an empy shell of a body, no substance, no love , no nothing.

Travola Family,
From my own experience, time and God will get your through this horrible tragedy… WE buried our own son 9 years ago, and it took about 5 years just to recover… Please reflect on your memories of him and the special times with Jett, that and your belief in your God, will get your through.. Know Jett is an Angel and he will walk with you throughout your life…He will give you strenghth when you need it, his spirit will live on in each of you. You are forever in our prayers.

After hearing the news of your son Jetts
passing, I felt the need to send our deepest sympathy. It’s unimaginable the pain of loss you must be feeling. Know that the world has heard of your loss and know that the world is praying for your entire family and friends. Know that Jett is with the ones you loved that have gone on before him.
He is with you always, healthy in mind and spirit. May the prayers of the world, friends and lovedones get you through these tough times ahead. To Ella, your brother will watch over you when you feel low and lost comfort you when nothing else will. Listen to your heart and feel his love. THE GAME My heart breaks for you and your mom and dad and those close to you.
God bless you and the angel that has gone to join him.
