Hundreds gathered to celebrate the life of a 12-year-old boy who loved music Saturday.
At the head of the sealed casket stood his trombone.
The boy was Traveon LeBlanc. His gift of music was silenced almost ten days ago when he was run over multiple times on the Gulf Freeway.
But his funeral services offered solace to his family, and Traveon’s teachers told stories of the boy who took to the trombone like a fish to water.
