Travis Caldwell Obituary
Travis R. Caldwell
Travis R. Caldwell, 56, died Saturday June 29, 2024, as a result of a work accident. Born December 8, 1968, in Lawton, OK to Linda Caldwell and the late Steve Caldwell.
Travis was the older brother to his two sisters, Stephanie and Stacie. He was a big part of their lives and was loved so much by them. Travis was a 1987 graduate of Colstrip Highschool. For the last 35 years had worked in the construction industry, first with ABC siding and then with his own company. Travis was the builder of beautiful buildings, indoor arenas and THE bridge.
Away from work, life centered around Shelly, she was his soulmate. Travis so enjoyed being part of Shelly's life. From spending time with Shelly's two children and grandkids, to watching her run barrels, to riding her young horses. Travis was pretty handy with a rope as well. He started tie down roping at 11 years old in Colorado where his mom hauled him to "lots and lots" of Little Britches rodeos.
He continued in high school and went to college on a rodeo scholarship. Travis was a CNFR contestant and won several year-end awards in the NRA and the Montana Prorodeo Circuit. Travis built a lot of friendships, shared a lot of memories, and always had a lot of fun. He loved reading and listening to podcasts. Travis had a wide variety of interests and was able to connect with everyone he met. Always ready with a story and a kind word, Travis will be missed deeply by his friends and family.
Travis is preceded in death by his father, Steven, and his Grandparents, June and Don Dortch. He is survived by Shelly Anzick; her son, Dylan (Bella); her daughter, Kahley (Nick) Blakesley; grandchildren: Macey and Pike; Mother, Linda Caldwell; sisters: Stephanie Caldwell and Stacie Caldwell Zeiler. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made directly to a Veteran's organization of their choice. Travis was a strong supporter of our Military Veterans. There will be a Celebration of Life at Rhoadside Event Center at 3:00 PM on Friday, July 26, 2024, in Huntley, MT.

I was shocked and saddened to hear yesterday of Travis´ passing. Travis was a good man and I benefited from the time I spent with him primarily in rodeo. I will always be thankful for the times he helped me in the roping game, especially heading for me when he could have roped with better partners. I´ll never forget his smile and positive attitude and my love to his sisters, Shelly, other family and friends who are suffering from this great loss.
