He was born in Hattiesburg to Jace and Mirissa and has lived all of his life in Kokomo. He was in the sixth grade at West Marion Middle School and was thought to be an old soul in a young body. He was an outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, riding dirt bikes and playing recreational baseball. He could operate any piece of equipment and farming machinery. He also had excellent mechanical skills and enjoyed repairing and maintaining engines and equipment. He could do anything he set his mind to do. Travis was a “people” person who never met a stranger. He loved chocolate ice cream cones, music, animals, his friends and playing Fortnite with them, his family and his Lord. His relationship with God was precious to him and he always looked forward to being in church with his family. He will be remembered for his big, kind heart.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Eddie and Edna King; maternal grandfather, Wilford Garner; paternal grandfather, James Starling; and paternal grandmother, Judy Anthony.
