He loved traveling, exploring new places, and hiking in the mountains. Travis participated in numerous mountain bike races and was very enthusiastic about getting other people outside. He regularly volunteered and participated in cycling events that promoted charitable causes. Travis was a friend that left this world too soon for our liking. His courage, grace, honor, humility, humor, and the most animated eyebrows we've ever known will be missed deeply. He will never leave our hearts and through the love that remains for him, he will live forever. Have a great ride Travis. We'll see you again someday. Survivors include his wife, Christin; mother and stepfather, Neda and Jim; father, Earl; brother, Forrest; grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and numerous friends who are like family. A private memorial for Travis with close family and friends will be held in Rocky Mountain National Park.
