Travis was a shining star in so many lives.  He could light up any room with his smile. He had a big heart, was generous and would give you the clothes off his back if you asked him for it.  Travis liked living in the fast lane. Whether it was in his Mustang, riding four wheelers, dirt bikes and snowmobiles, or whipping kitties in his wheelchair. He loved fishing, hunting, and going adventuring with his brother Trevor.  Three years ago to the day Travis, was in a devastating accident that left him a quadriplegic. He spent the next year in the hospital where his mother and brother Trevor never left his side. Travis' accident also made a huge impact on his entire family, bringing them all closer together. His family meant the world to him and he meant the world to his family. Travis was a member of at Lakeside Church where he also served as a greeter. He was baptized at Lakeside Church and found his second family there. Through it all, Travis never gave up hope. Never gave up his faith and never took the smile off of his face. He was an inspiration to everyone that knew him and showed us to how to live life to the fullest. He will be deeply missed.
