Andrew Travis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 5, 2017.
Andrew Stephen Travis was born seventy years ago in Southport England and passed away after a year-long valiant battle with cancer. His devoted family was with him until the end.

He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Lori , his daughters Jennifer (Mike), Nokomi (Marek), and grandchildren Connor, Kaya and Mila. He is survived by sister Rita (Joe), and nieces Mandy (Colin), Jennifer (Maurice) as well as their children. He was predeceased by his parents Ken and Eva.

Andy's paramount interest was his family, of whom he was always very protective. One of the most important and successfully achieved goals of his life was to have his daughters be loving and close to each other.

This was a man who unfailingly stepped up to help family, friend or neighbor. Dad was actively concerned for the well being of all, even when he was not with them. This caring nature earned him the love, honor and respect of all who knew him.

He had a broad range of interests which included fishing, boating, computers, history, geography, hockey, and politics. He read voraciously and remembered in detail much of what he read. He was always happy to share his knowledge.

His surviving immediate family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to our family physician, Dr. Hasham, for the many years of dedicated service and to our amazing oncologist, Dr Ingledew, for her continued hope and compassion.

Finally, our sincere gratitude to all our family, friends and relations for their continued love, support and positive energy.

We ask those who wish to share stories but are uncomfortable speaking to send wife Lori emails that can be printed and read out by Catherine (Life Celebrant).

So sorry to hear of Andrew's passing. I knew him as a young boy when he would come into the Credit Union in Oliver. His Dad, Ken Travis, was my boss and if Andy was anything like his Dad, he was indeed a wonderful, caring man. My sympathies to his wife Lori and his children and grandchildren and to his sister Rita and family. RIP Andrew. Your life's journey has ended; now you are one with the Universe.

Although I didn't really know you personally Andy, Lori always spoke of the love, support and happiness you gave to this important person in my life. I am very thankful for the chance you both had to be with each other together for 42 years.. My thoughts are with everyone whose heart was touched by Andy. God bless

Andrew was one of my earliest friends growing up in Oliver, before his family moved to OK Falls. We were always in the same classes through junior and senior high. After high school we lost touch until I met him and Lori at a 40th high school reunion in 2005. He was brilliant, with a wicked sense of humor. One of my earliest childhood memories is playing cowboys and Indians in the sumac side hills behind their house off the airport road. So sorry to hear of his struggle with cancer and his recent death. My deepest condolences to Lori and all his family.

Andrew was four years older than me yet always had time to share with a kid. Unfailingly kind and generous, "Tack" will be fondly remembered and missed greatly.

A close boyhood friend of my brother, I knew Andrew more indirectly but enough to respect him with good regard. My condolences to his family and friends.
