Thank you for your service Travis. Karin and family I’m lifting you in prayers.
So sorry to hear of Travis’ passing. Travis will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I’m so sad to hear of my childhood friend’s passing. Our families lived just a few miles apart. Travis and I sat together as kindergartners on the bus on our way to Floyd Elementary School and later mowed lawns together. He surprised me by visiting my family when we lived in California. He was a truly sweet person, and I hope his family knows they are in my thoughts. God Bless!
