Travis Smith Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 2, 2025.
This is a memorial for my friend

Born 27th August 1968

Died 11th July 2025

Where ever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. 33 years ago or so...my earliest memories usually had both Travis and I laughing in reflection. Forced employment by your big brother,

gasoline in tiki torches, an adventurous 2 week journey across the United States. And my fav: short stick working on a Sunday only to luck out by assisting Pat Head Summit-30 min of sheer admiration. The next 30 plus years were filled with life a book couldn't fill. Truly one of my best friends-the little brother I didn't know I needed. If you knew Travis, you know what an incredible floral, interior and landscape designer he had become. You were the Man. His love for his family was unwavering-of this I know. I just want to recognize his family of friends, of which there are plenty. Knowing no strangers, he had friends from all walks of life. Travis was a good friend, a true friend and compassionate to a fault. An animal lover and a tree hugger. Travis, I wish you had written this because you were a far better writer than I! I love you, Travis. You were a treasure to us all. See ya on the other side
