Travis is the son of Sally Rahde and the late Theodore Blair. He enjoyed watching football (GO HAWKS!), trips out west, listening to music, and spending time with family.

Travis would say: "Work hard and do things the right way to get where you're going, but don't let it consume you. Family, friends, and life are most important."
