Travis Lucas DeZarn, beloved son of Tim and Janine DeZarn and big brother to Emma, died in a tragic automobile accident on November 3 on Palisades Drive in the Highlands. The Culver City resident had just celebrated his 18th birthday. Travis attended Westwood Charter, Paul Revere Middle School and graduated from Palisades High School in June 2007. At graduation, he was awarded a scholarship by the Masonic Lodge of Pacific Palisades. Travis was a freshman at Cal State Long Beach, planning to major in film. Travis was born October 17, 1989 in Beverly Hills to Tim and Gail DeZarn. He lost his birth mother as an infant. Raised by Tim and Janine, both actors, Travis participated in theatre productions throughout Los Angeles. A charter player for the Palisades High lacrosse team, Travis was a starter for four years as the team’s attack. His teammates meant the world to him and he to them. His friends have created a page on Facebook: Rest In Peace Travis DeZarn. Hundreds of those who knew Travis have posted stories on the Web page of special times they shared with him. Those who knew Travis were treated to a kind soul coupled with a wicked sense of humor. Travis’ parents want to thank the entire Palisades community for the tremendous outpouring of love and support since the accident. A memorial service will be held at the Palisades High football field for students tonight, November 8, at 5 p.m., where Travis’ jersey number, 22, will be retired by the lacrosse team. A memorial service for friends and family will be held Saturday.
