There is much to be said about Dermod and the work he did, even while in hospital, close to the end. I will write more when I can type without tears but this is gutting, for many. It’s hard to comprehend not talking to him ever again š„
My thoughts and love are with his family and close friends. A huge loss for British Columbians. Its unbelievably unfair.

He is the smartest man I think I’ve ever met, and the most ‘politically savvy’ as well. I’m honoured to have known him, worked with him for a while, and call him my friend. Sadly, I think that most of BC will never realize just how much Dermod did on their behalf, but I and a few others DO know. It tears me up that he’s gone, and even more so that a man who tried so hard to improve our province, our country,and the world had to pass at this time, while the world is going up in flames…. RIP , Dermod.

Dermod epitomized the name Integrity, which I ceded to him when he first started up covering B.C. politics, and he honoured it well to his last days. Though Dermod Travis was not a household name he still made a huge contribution to the well-being of British Columbia by providing well-researched critiques of many important issues, some that only he could handle.

Dermod Travis always spoke facts and never, ever bent them for a political agenda. Few, if any, spoke the truth about The life and issues of British Columbia as did Mr. Travis. He was a true British Columbian, one I went to immediately when clarity was needed.
I am very shocked by this news of his passing and though I did not meet him personally I will miss his grounded insight greatly.

A huge loss. A real hero and defender of democracy.

I hope the group will preserve the Facebook page. Much of Dermod’s research was put straight onto Facebook; it seemed he was the only one running the page. It would be important to preserve that. I see a Wayne Crookes has posted his notice on the website.
