Shortly after graduation from Haworth High School in 1958, he started working on the pipeline. He later joined the United States Army in 1962, and was honorably discharged in 1968.
Travis went on to work 30 years for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife as a fish technician, with the majority of the time spent at Byron State Fish Hatchery. After he "retired," he enjoyed farming and raising cattle.
In 1967, Travis married Ellen Myers and adopted her two children. Travis and Ellen later had two other sons.
Travis was later blessed to marry Nita Pelter on Dec. 5, 1987, in Cherokee, Okla.
His biggest passions in life were hunting, fishing and ranching.
He was preceded in death by his parents and son, Robert.
