Travis was a beloved friend, father, grandad, and great grandad. Travis loved sports especially basketball. He was a faithful Christian and lifelong member of the Church of Christ. Travis would want to be remembered as a faithful servant of God. He studied the Bible daily and loved the Church dearly.

Travis was the Controller for TIME Motor Freight in Lubbock Tx when I started working there in September of 1955 while a Junior in Lubbock High School. After graduating with a BS in accounting from Texas Tech, Travis offered me a position in the accounting department and was such a nice person to work with. Travis was one of the smartest individuals that I ever worked with and I was really sad when he decided to leave the company with plans to set up his own CPA practice. So glad he had a long life but so sad to hear he passed away. I pray that God will bless his loved ones.
