Travis was a long-time member of First United Methodist Church and the Midyett Sunday School class where for many years he actively served as a volunteer in the children and youth ministries. He was also an active volunteer in Boy Scouts of America Troop 64, Bossier High School Baseball, and Bossier Flashettes. 

Travis will be remembered for his love and dedication to his family and friends and for the wonderful meals he made. He was known for his chocolate chip pecan pies, smoked turkeys, and his own Cajun recipes, especially jambalaya. He will be remembered for his creativity, woodworking, and his love of photography and shopping for treasures at thrift stores. He will be remembered most of all for his sense of humor, kindness, and love for family and friends. As we take comfort in Psalm 23:1-6, we will cherish and hold on tight to those memories until we meet again. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials may be made to Troop G of the Louisiana State Police, 5300 Industrial Dr., Ext, Bossier City, Louisiana 71112, and will be passed on to the Louisiana State Troopers Association.
