The Bay Area native had a huge network of people that have been impacted by his love, humor, support, and care.
A soul driven by love and success, Travis established a foundation for the future of his family and built a long resume of accomplishments during his life. This did not always come the easy way for him, growing up in a single parent home, Travis understood the importance of hard work at an extremely young age, in the early 90’s, He was a self made inspiration to us all as he triumphed through multitudes of trials and tribulations. He remained true to his strong family values and was relentless in his pursuit of happiness.
A one of a kind spirit, Travis had an extremely unique personality which was always infectious, He had a special way of making everyone around him feel important encouraged and empowered. Both friends and family retain that from the skate park to tattoo shops, from the football field to the barbershop, from the mall to a local dispensary; Travis was there for all of us all the time. He was a college graduate and a successful businessman. You could always expect a quirky little smile, his one of a kind laugh, and an attitude that made it impossible to stay away from.
