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.

John and Kelly, family, My heart goes out to all of you!! I cried when I heard the news. I have followed your careers my entire life, and I admire your acting skills and also your commitment to family life; its hard to balance that, but you are terrific parents and know that God will console your minds and soul and walk you through this. In time you will heal and Jett will always be apart of everything you do!! John, Heaven is real and if your a beliver, Jett went there and we will all be there someday!!! When things settle down and your alone with it all, I recommend you read the book 90 minutes in Heaven, Its a true story and it will help!!! Love to all your family..Cathy in Cresco, Iowa

John and Kelly and little Ella,

My heart goes out to you. I have loved John since Grease and was so happy when he met and married his lovely and talented bride Kelly. Reading about Jett and Ella Blue was just the icing on the cake. I have long admired you all, and really enjoyed it when John was standing by to support Kelly when she did the Dare show (can't remember the name but it was when she was doing some kind of reality show dare). At any rate, we are so sorry for the loss of your beloved son Jett and our thoughts and prayers are with you. We lost our sweet niece Nikki two years ago with three of her friends in a car accident. While no loss is alike, I can say that I do know the pain is so immense. I wish we could help. If you ever need anything, we are in Flagler Beach, Fl. Our hearts and our home are open to you.

John,Kelly,&Ella

We were so sorry to hear about Jett.  We just can't imagine how you feel, the hurt you are bearing.  We are praying for your family that God will give you peace and comfort your broken hearts. God is the heart healer, the bible tells us He is the peace that surpasses all understanding.  We will continue to hold your family up in prayer.

Dear John, Kelly and Ella, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Jett. I have two sons and can't imagine losing one of them. I am sure when a child dies, a big part of you goes with them and that you never forget them. I have lost both parents, two young brothers and two young nephew, one who had a lung transplant because of cystic fibrosis and losing him two years ago still hurts to this day. I know God will surround you and your family with his everlasting love.

John, I always admired you. You are a caring and loving person, i can't know the pain that you and Kelly are going thru but, i just imagine, i have 3 children of my own and 4 grandchildren that are my life.

God be with you and bless you all with this horribly pain.
