Travis was an avid outdoorsman, he loved to be outdoors. From long walks to riding bikes, camping and working in the yard, he found peace in being outside. He and Carrie would frequently kayak local rivers, as well as go on trips with close family and friends. They enjoyed an annual tubing trip with family every summer. Travis cherished the time he got to spend with his family. They also had an annual camping trip up north every Memorial weekend with close friends. Trips to Lake Michigan towns were also a favorite of his. Travis loved going to concerts and music festivals with Carrie and close friends. Travis was a selfless man, who always put others needs before his own. He was proud of his work ethic in being able to assist others. He had a contagious smile, who could light up a room.
