Travis held many titles in his life, husband, son, grandson, logger, friend, but his favorite role was being a father. He loved nothing more than spending time with his wife and four young children. He doted on them and adored being a husband and father completely. It was the role he was meant to fill. He was always there for his family whether he was playing catch, grilling their favorite meal, giving them rides in his ATV, attending father-daughter dances, and hosting Family Fun Days. He offered them all the love his big heart had, and they were the apple of his eyes.

While Travis left us far too soon, the impact he had on his family, friends, and community will be felt for years to come. His contagious smile, cheerfulness, and willingness to help others in need will never be forgotten. We will truly miss him.

Travis’ family will host a visitation on Saturday, December 2, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Calkins Baptist Church, 527 Calkins Road, Milanville, PA.
