He was proud to serve in the North Dakota National Guard and proud to be serving his country. He also enjoyed hunting pheasants with his stepfather and uncles. He went on a big game hunt with his Grandpa Haney in November of 2005, he also loved sports every Sunday. His friends and family gathered for Sunday football, that was a given. In the morning before work or during lunch you could always find him watching ESPN Sport Center. Travis and Keisia spent two and a half wonderful years together. Travis was planning on getting engaged to Keisia in November of 2006, and planning to be married in September of 2008. Travis dearly loved his family, fiancee and friends. He will be deeply missed by his parents, brothers, fiancee, family, friends and also by his guard family currently serving in Afghanistan.
