Travis P. Goggans passed away peacefully in his home with companion Linda Johnson and daughter Paula Fernandez by his side on January 17, 2025, to be with our Lord in his tender care.

During his employment at OU, Travis was engaged in a part-time Accounting and Consultation practice. Throughout his academic career, Travis was a prolific writer and the recipient of numerous teaching awards. In the words of the then Director of the School of Accounting, "Travis has the enviable distinction of announcing his retirement at the time when his professional performance is at its peak". His professional career included serving as an independent auditor for the then Norman Municipal Hospital, serving as consultant to the Oklahoma Nursing Home Association and serving as expert witness in numerous court cases. Travis has been associated with the Cecil Woods family since 1955. Cecil Woods was a pioneer real estate entrepreneur in Norman. He hired Travis as his accountant for his real estate as well as other entrepreneurial activities. Travis continued to be a part of the Woods family throughout four generations. He served as Eminent Commander of Norman York Rite Lodge and Worthy Grand Patron of the Order of the Eastern Star for the State of Oklahoma. His main hobbies were restoring antique automobiles, primarily pickups, spending time at Questhaven at Lake Texoma and raising pigeons.
