Tributes.com has established an online memorial for Jett Travolta, John Travolta’s 16-year old son, who passed away Friday morning in the Bahamas after suffering a seizure and hitting his head at his family’s vacation home.

Jett Travolta was diagnosed as suffering from Kawasaki Disease in early childhood. Kawasaki disease is a rare form of vasculitis which usually strikes children under the age of five. The disease occurs more often in boys than girls, and most commonly in children of Asian and Korean descent. Although most children diagnosed with Kawasaki recover with no problems, some patients suffer serious heart problems and joint damage. For more information visit www.VasculitisFoundation.org

Tributes.com has created a memorial page for those who would like to share a memory of Jett’s life or leave a condolence to the family: http://tributes.com/condolences/view_memories/84873163#202226.

At the Tributes.com memorial, visitors can:

• Leave lasting messages of condolence and remembrance

• Read published obituaries and reflections from the public

• Send flowers or make a donation to charity in honor of Jett Travolta

• Join the online grieving group “Loss of a Child,” where you can get insight and advice from Tributes.com Grief Specialist David Kessler
