To know Travis was to love him. He was an old soul who always had the best jokes and gave the best hugs. His main priority everyday was being the best man he could be while providing for his family. He was a natural protector, never missed an activity for his kids, and was a true family man. Travis was a logger and truly enjoyed what he did. He loved hunting, fishing, and anything outdoors. He also enjoyed spending time with friends and family. If you’ve ever sat around a dinner table with him, you’ve definitely heard about all of his adventures.
Since childhood, demolition derby has been a huge part of Travis’s life. It’s something he loved to do more than anything. He has passed that love to his son, Travis “Mister” James Terry Jr. We hope everyone keeps his spirit alive on the track forever, including Mister when his time comes to participate and experience what his dad loved to do so much.
Travis was the kind of person you didn’t come by very often. He was always happy. He was always making everyone laugh. He had the biggest heart. He would have moved mountains for his family, friends and anyone who needed help in any way.
Travis will be remembered for his amazing sense of humor and his selflessness. He was the best father, partner, son, brother, friend, and person.
He touched so many lives, and will continue to. He will be forever missed.
Calling hours will take place Friday, April 12, from 4 -7 p.m. at the Courtney Funeral Home. The service will take place Saturday, April 13, at 11 a.m. at the Courtney Funeral Home.
Arrangements are with Courtney Funeral Home, 25 Townsend Street, Walton. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.courtneyfh.com
