Travis Ray Dingman

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Travis Ray Dingman, who left this world far too soon on October 13, 2025, at the age of 23. He was born on November 10, 2001, in Highland Park, Illinois to parents: Andrew Dingman and Tanya Kuffel.
Travis was a vibrant soul, whose passions illuminated his life. He had an unwavering love for soccer and Video games. With favorites like Minecraft and Rocket League capturing his imagination and creativity. From building awe-inspiring worlds in the former to scoring goals in the latter, Travis found joy and connection in these virtual spaces.
Beyond gaming, Travis had a lifelong love for building and creating with LEGO sets, always finding wonder in the smallest details. His passion for cars was endless, he could name every make and model and loved learning how things worked. He also had a soft spot for elephants, admiring their strength, intelligence, and gentle nature.
Travis was not only a beloved son but also a cherished friend to many. His energy and laughter will forever resonate in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him. As we remember Travis, let us hold onto the joyful moments and the love he freely shared. Rest in peace, dear Travis; you will never be forgotten.
