Travis grew up in Greenville, AL where he met his wife Sherry. After marriage, they moved to Forest Home and he began working in BG Wells Grocery as a butcher. It was in this first job that he made many friends. He was a member of the Jaycee's and found pride in giving back to his community through this organization. He then went on to work for many years as a project manager and superintendent for construction companies. After an early retirement, he opened his own business selling cars with his wife. He was an avid gardener, tinkerer, and fisherman. He loved his large family gatherings. In recent years, he had moved closer to his daughter, Christy and granddaughter Dalee and enjoyed attending all her school and community events. He continued his love of gardening and socializing with their many friends and family. He was a member of Forest Home Baptist Church but had been faithful in his attendance at First Presbyterian Church of Wetumpka. He was a Mason for over 50 years, attending lodge #270 in Forest Home. He was a loving husband, father, and "Bud" and will be missed.
