Travis worked as a bartender at his family’s business, Court Street Tap, where he made numerous friends that became like family (Courtyardigans). He enjoyed watching Minnesota Vikings football, Twins baseball, playing pool and darts. He loved fishing and spending time with his family. He would often drive his grandmother to Elk Point, SD to have lunch with his great, great uncle and aunts. Travis was fond of listening to their stories about “the old times”.

Travis and his daughter, Magdalena, have spent the last 7 and a half years going to parks, the Omaha Zoo, the Children’s Museum, Explorer’s and Muskie’s games. They enjoyed getting pedicures together and prank calling friends and family. Travis and Magdalena loved telling each other Dad jokes. The best memories are going out to eat and “making someone’s day” by paying the ticket of another table near them.
