Publisher Description
Travis Victor Alexander was a good looking, charismatic, entrepreneur and motivational speaker. He was in the prime of his life enjoying good health, financial success, world travel and a bustling social life. But, things weren't always so good for him. His life began in dismal circumstances, and tragically, it ended worse than it began. He was born to drug addicted parents and suffered many of the worst privations of life. His family was poor and his parents were neglectful and abusive. He was teased and bullied as a small child and had few, if any, friends. Rather than allowing himself to be victimized by his past, he used those negative experiences to propel him into a life of abundance and success.
Like many single, thirty-year-old men, he was dating in hopes of finding Mrs. Right, so he could get married, start a family and live the good life. Unfortunately, Jodi Arias, one of the women he dated, was a psychopath who could not accept that he did not want to marry her. After stalking him, stealing from him and violating his privacy in the most vile ways, she planned out and executed his murder.
When the case finally went to trial, it became one of the highest profile murder trials in recent history. On May 8, 2013, his killer was convicted of first-degree, pre-meditated murder. During the grueling, ten month trial, which was in large part a circus act of character assassination, lies and fiction, Travis’s life was purposefully distorted and despicably misrepresented.
Our Friend Travis is a book about the real Travis Victor Alexander; his life, his light, his triumphs, his mistakes, his death and his legacy.

Our Friend Travis
A book that brings to life the spirit of a man we all dream to know. I followed the trial so closely, that I've watched both trials day by day at least 3 times or more over. I consumed myself with this trial. I realized each time the verdict was read that I felt like I missed Travis, even though I'd never met him. This book brought me closer to him. I hope to one day run into someone that is a carbon copy of Travis' character. Thank you, Sky and Chris Hughes for sharing these stories. I truly love the Alexander's and continue to pray for all of you that knew and love him.

The first part of the book was good , to read the details from Travis’s friends point of view . I skipped through most of the last parts after the trial because it seemed to mostly focus on their Morman beliefs and I was more into reading about the crime . Overall good book though
Great way to honor Travis
Thanks for the insight and for addressing so many of the lies that the defense conjured up during the trial. Thanks for breathing life into the memory of your friend and deflating the contentious bubble of evil JA and the defense tried to foist upon the world. Travis was created by God to make a difference and he did so in his short life and continues to do so in death. She may have taken his earthly life but she can never destroy his spirit, his determination to do better and be better, nor could she ever take away the love and respect he had for and from all who knew him. I just wish I had been one who did know him. A Big thank you to you two and his family for sharing him with us so openly.
