As a parent who has lost a child...I know the pain and the grief that John Travolta and his family are experiencing.  My heart goes out to them in the recent loss of their son Jett.  My prayers are with them. 

Would you join me in remembering John Travolta and his family in this difficult situation...and pray God's love and peace be with them.

Funeral For Jett Travolta In Ocala

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Jett Travolta, 16-year-old son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston, will reportedly be laid to rest on Tuesday, January 6, in Ocala.  The teen passed away Friday, after suffering a seizure at the family's vacation home.

An autopsy is planned for Monday and Michael McDermott, family friend, told the Ocala Star-Banner that funeral arrangements are being made in Ocala.  The Travolta family has a home in the fly-in community of Jumbolair Aviation Estates.  Travolta parks two large planes on his property, including his Boeing 707.  This is the home that they would spend the most time in.

Jett was named in honor of his father's love of aviation.  John joked during an interview with Architectural Digest that while other children had sleepoevers in their backyards, his son could have one in his Boeing 707.  The plane is named "Jett Clipper Ella" after the two Travolta children.  Jett's sister is Ella Bleu, 8.

I can't even imagine what they're going through.  And my heart breaks for Jett's little sister, Ella.  I'm sure she looked up to her big brother, and now he's gone.  So sad.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for this family...

Love and Blessings,

I know that I feel the same way as you do.  We lost my step-son almost 4 years now.  I also suffer from seizures so it was also a scary story in that respect.

Jett seemed so sweet and loving and you could just tell how much love his Dad had for him when you saw those two together.  I know John Travolta's heart is just breaking...that is why he needs our prayers. 

Thanks everyone for your prayers...
