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.

Ive held your hand and kissed your cheek everyday,
in my memory and my heart never of missed a way.
To show you you’re loved and so much apart of me,
for you “Jet” your all that I can wanna seriously be
So sudden we part and im mindful of your gift,
may we hold and comfort those your so missed
In this world heaven brings us an angel too see,
all those you’ve touched and smiled with you and me
A path and a truth of whom all of us want to become,
a shining example of life’s moments you shared from
Im missing and were yearning for prayers abound,
for your special mom, dad and sister an angels sound
Of harps and of bells and of those close to a everlasting view
a place for angels on earth n somewhere
waiting just for you

Many Blessings to the Travolta Family
please someone pass this to them for their son

I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother died at the age of 18. Words help, time helps, but just remember how lucky you were to have had him in your life. May you find peace in his gentle smile and loving memory.

It always been very clear in interviews, & in photos, that John & Kelly love & cherish their kids immensely. What more can a child ask for? Jett was fortunate to have such loving & caring parents, who were so engaged in trying to keep him as healthy & happy; as protected, & well cared for as humanly possible. I have always admired & respected their family, for the people that they are first. Their interviews about toxins that can be harmful, & medications that may have adverse side effects on some people, especially on kids are honest & a positive contribution. Many warm wishes to the Travolta family during your time of immense heartbreak.

John and Kelly, I can only imagine the pain and suffering you and all your family are going through right now. I know your son has always had all your love and caring and above all, this is the most important thing that you can do for anyone that you love. I hope that soon the pain and suffering will give way to wonderful memories of Jett, no matter how short the time was that he got to stay with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am sure that God will wrap you in his arms during this difficult time.

Always remember that Jett was equally as lucky to have all of you as you were him.He could not have created better parents if he had the power.You did everything for him and your love for him and Ella has always been obvious.

My heart & prayers go out to you and your family during this devastating time. I want to share this poem with you in the hope that it may help you in some small way……
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room.. why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low.Remember the love that we once shared.. miss me but let me go. This is a journey that we all must take & each must go alone. It is all part of the Masters plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart go to friends we know. Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds… miss me But Let Me Go…………..
May Your Son Rest In Peace…………..

I would just like to say, how deeply sorry i am to hear about the death of Jett. I was so surprised when i heard the news, and i know that his parents did everything they could to raise their son in a safe and possible way.
Dont blame them for the lack of concern for him, they did what they thought were best for Jett.
My deapest condolence go to the family.
