Travis Gors Obituary

Travis Gors

November 30, 1976 - August 21, 2015

Travis Michael Gors was born November 30, 1976 to Kimberly and Gary Gors in Spokane, Washington. He spent most of his childhood in Oregon where he attended McNary High school and then graduated from Silverton High school. Silverton High school is where Travis gained his love and appreciation of music and art.

On February 16, 2002 he married the love of his life Emily Gors in Salem, Oregon. The couple made their home in Beaverton, Oregon where Travis found his career in the financial industry. While working full-time, Travis attained his Associates of Business from University of Phoenix.

Travis was a talented musician and artist who believed that art, in any shape, was to be appreciated by the masses on a daily basis. Travis lived his art through drawing and writing; his love of comic books and table top role playing games influenced much of his art.

While we only had Travis for a short time, he impacted us all for a lifetime. "The lifetime of a human being is measured by decades; the lifetime of the Sun is a hundred million times longer. Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their lives in the course of a single day."

- Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Travis is survived by his loving wife of 13 years, Emily Gors; his Mother, Kimberly Nall; Father, Gary Gors; Sister, Brandie Lewis; Brother, Chris Reinwald; and the entire Rader family.

There will be a Celebration of Life and a luncheon at 1:00 PM September 12, 2015 at the Red Lion Inn in Salem, Oregon.
