Was traveling down highway at a constant 65 mph and felt like car went into neutral, completely quit forward travel. Pulled over checked fluid full. Tried putting it into any gear and got no response not even in reverse. What would cause this?

Most likely the transmission has an internal failure where it cannot build pressure when it needs to. Such a sudden loss of movement is normally a cut seal or even a failed transmission pump. Basically you need to build pressure in the transmission to apply the proper clutches.

We need to start with checking fluid pressure in the unit. I attached the process on how to do this. Let me know what you find and we can go from there.
