Travis was an amazing son, brother, uncle, father and nephew. He was a very loving, respectful and well-mannered son to his mother.  The best brother any one could ask for. The bond he shared with his sister was unexplainable and unbreakable. Travis was the most giving uncle to both Tashae and Tariq.  He was like a brother to Tashae and a father-figure to Tariq. 

On December 5th, 2013 Valecia (Vee) blessed Travis with Travis Michael Lewis II, his life was forever changed. He became a proud father to both his son and his step-daughter Ja’liyah.
