Uncle Travis was always so kind to us when growing up around him. He laughed easy at our silliness and his words were always gentle. Sending love to all my cousins

So many memories! He loved his family unconditionally. He would listen to you and just made you feel everything was going to be alright. When he smiled the room would light up. I have been blessed to be in this family for 43 years. I love you and thank you for being the man I respected and adored. See you later! Cammie
