Loving and Losing Jett
by olympic » Wed Jan 07, 2009 2:28 am
While John Travolta and Kelly Preston struggle to cope with their grief over the sudden death of their 16-year-old son Jett, family and friends are remembering the teen as a cheerful boy who shared his dad’s passions for flying and sailing and whose bond with his parents and sister Ella Bleu, 8, was exceptionally close.
"Jett looked at John as if he was the sun and the moon," Travolta attorney and friend Michael McDermott tells PEOPLE in its new cover story. "And John reciprocated."
Though Jett's behavior led some observers to believe he suffered from autism, his parents never addressed such speculation publicly. They did, however, speak out about their son's struggle with Kawasaki disease – a condition associated with inflammation of the arteries – at age 2.
Even close friends were left to draw their own conclusions about the boy who shared his father’s famous ocean-blue eyes but rarely made eye contact with outsiders; the young man who often smiled but was never heard speaking; the teen who loved the water, golf cart rides and airplanes but who needed round-the-clock supervision wherever he went.
"John and Kelly never discussed his physical condition with me," says their friend, actress Anne Archer. "I observed that he was significantly mentally handicapped. ... John always communicated to him as if Jett could completely understand him. ... It was a kind of sweet exchange, where he was just happy with anything that Jett offered. Anything."
The family traveled everywhere as a "unit of four," says fellow Travolta attorney and friend Mike Ossi. John and Jett "were always riding in the golf cart together and going up in the ultralight plane and just being together," says Ossi. "Jett liked the water and he swam like a fish."
A memorial service is planned for Thursday in the family's hometown of Ocala, Fla.

Presley Defends the Travoltas, Scientology
(Jan. 7) — Lisa Marie Presley, a good
friend of John Travolta and his wife Kelly
Preston, has taken to her blog to lend her
support to her friends during this tough
time, and also to set the record straight
for those looking to link Scientology to the
death of their son Jett.
In the post, Presley opens by calling
Travolta and Preston “the sweetest
people in the world,” who are now
enduring “the worst possible tragedy a
parent could be forced to endure.”
Presley continues, saying that while much
of the media have been supportive and
sympathetic, “there are those certain
ones that want to use this horrible tragedy
as an opportunity to once again, blame
and or attack Scientology.”
Presley, a Scientologist herself, writes
that “now is NOT the time” for such
theories to be discussed, saying that
despite the “misinformation” about the
controversial religion, it is “an
Unconstitutional Injustice to partake in
and encourage such condemnation.”
Lisa Marie takes a particular stand
against those who believe or wonder if
Scientology’s view on medicine played a
role in the death of 16-year-old Jett.
“It is not true that Scientologist’s ‘Don’t
believe in’ medical care, medicine or
medical Doctors and that may have
something to do with this terrible tragedy.
Just like anyone else, If one is sick , they
go to the doctor, If a medication will make
it better then they take it. If they don’t then
they are an idiot and you can’t blame their
religion,” she wrote. “Whatever medical
and or physical condition Jett had, I can
tell you first hand that his parents were on
a tireless, never ending quest to get and
provide him with the absolute best care
anyone could ever ask for and need,
Medically, physically, emotionally,
medicinally and spiritually.”
Presley says she’s “not writing this to
preach my beliefs,” but merely to “protect
my friends.” Speaking directly to those
who may have linked the religion to Jett’s
death, she asks that they “not use the
tragic death of a child to facilitate your
insatiable need to attack and destroy
Scientology.”

Funeral today for John Travolta's son
By Stephen Hudak and Christine Show | Sentinel Staff Writers
3:58 PM EST, January 8, 2009
ANTHONY - Today's planned memorial for John Travolta's son Jett disrupted the normally quiet life residents of this small community north of Ocala enjoy.
Residents of the community said they treat the famous actor -- who lives in the nearby Jumbolair Aviation Estates fly-in community -- as one of their own and don't bother him when they see him out and about. So many were disgusted by the presence of a throng of reporters and photographers who showed up in advance of the private memorial.
At the Saddle Rack Café, owner Jackie Gomillion recalled that the actor likes to order a western omelet.
"He's a regular person when he comes in here," Gomillion said. "He's like one of us. He's a neighbor."
The Anthony Foodway, where one side of a sign reads "Best Meat Prices in Town," expressed condolences on the other side of the sign: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Travolta family."
Florist shops in Ocala were busy this week preparing for today's memorial service. At the local Stop and Smell The Roses shop, florists were winding down today after a hectic day Wednesday. The shop handled many requests for flowers for the service, designer Jessica Bryant said.
"Yesterday was a little chaotic," Bryant said. Florists said it's been an unusual week for them as many spent today fielding a large volume of calls from media outlets.

An emotional goodbye for Jett Travolta
Famous names among mourners as well-wishers gather at gate
John Travolta and Kelly Preston both kissed a large photograph of their son Jett at the close of an emotional memorial service for the 16-year-old Thursday.
A source present gave a detailed account of the 10-minute ceremony held in a tent outside the Travolta home in Jumbolair Aviation Estates.
Among the 100 people in attendance, the source said, were the following celebrities: Lisa Marie Presley; country music singers Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood; Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker; "Sopranos" lead James Gandolfini; "Cheers" star Kirstie Allie; and baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
The only person who spoke at the service was a female minister of the Church of Scientology, the source said. The guests came into the tent for the service and after they were seated, Travolta, Preston and their 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu, arrived.
After the service ended, both parents kissed the photo of Jett displayed behind the podium. He died over the New Year's holiday after suffering a seizure while on vacation in the Bahamas, according to reports from officials there. His body was cremated.
The gates in front of Jumbolair were tightly guarded by Travolta's security people and Marion County Sheriff's Office personnel. No media access was allowed and the Travoltas' press representatives issued no statements. But Whitaker, a close friend of the family, did issue one along with his wife, Keisha:
"Our families have had a long loving friendship, and John and Kelly are amazing parents. We have watched each other's children grow and cannot imagine the loss of Jett. He was a bright and beautiful young man, and we are honored to have known him."
The service inside Jumbolair was private, but outside the gates a kind of public wake took place, featuring about three dozen members of the media along with onlookers, passing cars and neighbors of the Travoltas.
They were swapping stories and memories of John Travolta, and trying to get information about the memorial.
That went on most of the day and past the reported 4 p.m. start of the service. Cars drove up to the front gate of Jumbolair in the hours leading up to the service, and planes could also be seen landing at the subdivision's airstrip.
Drivers were directed inside by security personnel wearing black suits. Also, a steady stream of people bearing gifts and sympathy cards kept coming to the gate to give them to security officers, who reportedly delivered them to the Travolta home periodically throughout the day.
The crowd of bystanders included a Creek Indian who played a drum and chanted a song, a 13-year old boy who drove up from the Tampa area with his mother to leave flowers, and a man who said he once met Travolta in a convenience store on Halloween.
Gabriel Berryhill, 27, of Ocala, began playing a drum and singing an American Indian chant soon after the service was scheduled to start. He kept it up for about five minutes.
"I'm here in support of Jett," said Berryhill, of the Muskogee Creek nation. "Something told me to come here to support him and his family. This is a spiritual thing. When we sing our songs, it doesn't come from us, it comes from the creator - a higher power."
Bobby Weiand, the 13-year-old, showed up and crossed Jacksonville Road to present flowers to a security guard.
"It's important to be here," said Bobby, who added he made about a two-hour drive with his mother from the Tampa area. "It hurts for a family to lose a son who is so young and I know how my family would feel if I died. It's sad."
Emanuel Breadon recalled how he met Travolta one Halloween night, buying candy at a local store.
"John had his son with him," Breadon said. "I put my arm on his shoulder and said, 'Are you John Travolta?' He said, 'Yes I am, and it's nice to meet you.'
"My mother was sick and I asked him to call her. He did."
Rhonda Dill, Breadon's mother, said Travolta did indeed give her a call.
"I couldn't believe it, but it was John Travolta," Dill said. "I'll never forget that call. I'm here today to let him and his family know how sorry we are for them."
Jacob Urbowicz, who said he lives in Jumbolair, was also standing outside. He said Travolta helped his son when the boy was sick.
"I'm standing outside this gate to let John know I support him," Urbowicz said. "I know it's going to take some time to deal with this. No parent should ever have to bury a child. But once all the commotion ends, John and Kelly have to get back to living their lives. Just like everyone else whose ever lost a loved one. It's hard, but you have to go on."

John Travolta, Grieving and Deceiving
Has anything the celebrity family of Jett Travolta said about the teenager been the unvarnished truth? If so, we missed it. Even the publicity photos of Jett they sent out after his death are Photoshopped.
The constantly changing versions of the events surrounding Jett's death have gripped the public's imagination because it is so congruent with the story of his father's life. John Travolta would have us believe that he is normal; that he is not a member of a crazy cult; and that he is straight. At least two of those things are false.
Let's count the inconsistencies, which extend back long before Jett's tragic passing:
Jett's parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, adherents of Scientology, have long maintained that Jett suffered from Kawasaki disease, an immune disorder which causes inflammation of blood vessels. But Kawasaki disease is not linked to seizures, according to medical experts.
When they weren't blaming Kawasaki disease, they publicly maintained Jett's health was fine, even though many in Hollywood believed Jett suffered from autism. And suddenly, after his death, we learn that Jett wasn't fine; rather, he was constantly supervised by two nannies and a baby monitor.
Autism would explain Jett's disturbingly affectless appearance in public; about a third of people with autism also suffer seizures. Travolta and Preston are followers of Scientology, which believes conditions like autism are all in the victim's head — that they are "degraded beings" requiring "purification." Preston has said in the past that Jett underwent a Scientology purification, which reportedly involves high doses of niacin.
Police in the Bahamas said Jett, who was found unconscious late on New Year's Day in his parents' condo and died at a hospital shortly afterward, had struck his head, and reported blood on the scene. The nanny who found him, Jeff Kathrein, a Scientologist wedding photographer hired by Jett's parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, was once spotted in an intimate kiss with Jett's father. Police said Jett was alone for hours, after last being seen the evening of January 1; a family lawyer maintained that Kathrein, who slept eight feet away from Jett, found him almost right away.
A funeral director hired by the family said there was no sign of a bruise and that Jett's body "looked great." The cause of death on Jett's death certificate was listed simply as a seizure.
Two chartered planes and a police hearse, ostensibly carrying Jett's remains, waited on the tarmac Monday, as Bahamian police blocked access. It was a ruse: Jett's body was being cremated at the time, and the family planned to fly his ashes back to Florida on Tuesday.
And then there are the photos, which show amateurish signs of digital manipulation to give Jett a jawline as firm as dad's:

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gawker/2009/01/jettphotoshop2b.jpg" width="60%"></img>
Jett, in reality, had a rounder face. But so what? The need to airbrush away Jett's chin is the perfect metaphor for the pathetic misdirections and deceptions the Travoltas have engaged in. What they're covering up is not worth covering up. This is not some grand crusade for the truth — which in the end is the simple and tragic tale of a teen boy dying too young. The lies, big and small, that Travolta tells aren't for Jett. They're for him to maintain his fake public image. He asks us, out of politeness or gullibility, to swallow it whole.
Yes, everyone wants to let the family grieve. Let them grieve — but Jett Travolta is the only one who should lie in peace.

I know that this will probably not be well accepted, but why the need to say that Jett had hit his head and that there was blood present? The autopsy stated that the body showed no trauma.
Also, why was it that he was not seen for hours when supposedly there was all those security measures in place and 2 "nannies"?
Why a nanny who had no medical background?
There is something just not right to me. Jett had not been photographed for years in the media. Then while in Paris, the media surprised them and caught Jett in photographs. Then right after that, Jett is declared dead in the Bahamas......

What difference does it make what medical condition the child had to anyone except the Travolta family and the police/medics that responded to the scene. By all accounts, Jett seemed to be loved, doted upon, taken whereever the family went and just adored by his parents.....what more can a child ask for?

Also, why was it that he was not seen for hours when supposedly there was all those security measures in place and 2 "nannies"?
Why a nanny who had no medical background?
There is something just not right to me. Jett had not been photographed for years in the media. Then while in Paris, the media surprised them and caught Jett in photographs. Then right after that, Jett is declared dead in the Bahamas......
There is something just not right to me....
its kind of deja-vu wouldn't you say...... didn't same happen with daniel smith, anna nicole smith, and then there was heath ledger, and mary kate olsen's security being disaptched to his place.
there seems to be a wack of misinformation, with each of these tragic deaths..

Medical care that would have helped him.....
tom cruise expressed his beliefs very clearly to matt lauer about mental health and scientology beliefs regarding brooke shields and her post-partum depression.
he told total opposite to barbara and the view panel this time around, and contradicted everything he said before, and what they truly stand for...

Olympic - It is kinda deja vu...If you are a "beloved"/high profile...then it seems the media treats the death diferent...
I saw Tom Cruise today on The View. He seemed to have a very hard time expressing himself. A 360 degree on the way he expressed himself about Brooke. Also, it strikes me as odd that he and so many of John's close friends did not attend the memorial service for Jett and to be there for John...

Travolta's Rumored Gay Lover Discovered Dead Son
Did Travolta hire his unqualified gay lover to care for an ill child, who then died on the faux nanny's watch? If so, you won't read about it in the trashiest of Internet tabloids.
A TMZ.com story on the death of John Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, mentioned that he was found by family nanny Jeff Kathrein — but it didn't run a famous picture of Travolta kissing Kathrein.
In 2006, Kathrein and Travolta were caught by paparazzi locking lips. The Travolta camp's official explanation: Why, John kisses everyone like that! But in the wake of a teenager's death, no one stopped to ask who the man who found him dead is, and what his relationship was to the kid's father.
Kathrein is one of the Travolta family's two nannies. On his website, he describes himself as a photographer; he mostly lenses weddings. His qualifications for childcare are unclear, other than being a Scientologist like Jett's parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Kathrein's wife, Ana, is also a Scientologist. (Some Scientology critics believe the church forces gays and lesbians to stay in the closet and pursue heterosexual relationships, frequently citing Travolta and Preston's marriage.)
Why the deference from TMZ, which is usually the standards-bearer of standards-lowering? Much remains mysterious about Jett Travolta's tragic death — and impolite questions ought to be asked. Isn't that what celebrity tabloids are good for?
Take the family's unchallenged assertion that he suffered from Kawasaki disease, an immunological syndrome which causes painful inflammation, after exposure to carpet-cleaning chemicals, and that he died after hitting his head after suffering a related seizure. At least one doctor disputes the notion, saying that there's no link between chemical exposure and Kawasaki disease and that it does not cause seizures.
Jett may have suffered instead from autism which went untreated, because of Travolta's adherence to the cultlike religion of Scientology and the bizarre beliefs about mental illness that go with it. And if Travolta hired Kathrein for reasons other than the best interests of his child? That only makes it worse.
The TMZ story, with a grainy photo of Travolta and Kathrein buried in the lower right-hand corner:
And the 2006 National Enquirer story which ran both an innocent-seeming photo of Travolta and Kathrein talking, and the two locking lips:

Stephen Kent, a professor of sociology and alternative religions at the University of Alberta and an expert on Scientology, elaborated on typical proceedings:
[snip]
Kent said he would expect Tom Cruise; Cruise's wife, Katie Holmes; and other members of Hollywood's elite Scientology contingent to attend. After the funeral, it's likely the organization will ask Travolta, his family and Jett's caretakers to undergo evaluations to banish any ill feelings about the tragedy.

Maybe because they are high profile that the insider info isn't really insider.

Travolta Death Theories
Celebrity Buzz : The sudden death of John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett has awoken the fierce celebrity conspiracy theory complex.
Theory No. 1: Jett Travolta suffered from autism, not Kawasaki Disease, and the family's denial of his condition led to the accident.
Theory 2: Jett was left unattended and so his fall went undiscovered for 10 hours.
Theory 3: Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston hired their respective gay lovers as family nannies, meaning that Jett didn't receive the specialized care he needed.
Theory 4: The Church of Scientology did it.

I think it's also weird. And don't buy the Kawasaki desease either. And I also found it weird that right after the autopsy on Monday he was cremated right there. As if they were afraid something would be found out...
But other than that, it's sad all around.
