Travis Branham's Obituary
Travis was born in Tecumseh, Michigan August 4, 1993. Travis loved life. At an early age you knew he was destined to love everything outdoors. From deer hunting to fishing, if it envolved being in nature he was running to get there. He had a brilliant mind and could take apart and reassemble just about anything. Our Mama can tell you stories of vcr’s and dvd players that he took apart just to see how the inner mechanics worked. He loved his family and loved family vacations. During spring break and summer our visits to the beach elated him. It was almost impossible to get him to go in for a break between hunting for shark teeth with Mama, building sand castles with his nieces and nephews, skim boarding or even just walking as far as the eye could see, you knew he loved it with an endless grin and his big blue eyes dancing. Travis loved adventure and he once went parasailing over the Atlantic Ocean but his adventures didn’t stop there. He loved being out on his motorcycle, especially when he was riding alongside our Dad. Travis would try anything at least once, I’m sure many of you have heard his rodeo stories. He loved his friends, he had a huge heart. He was a fixer and if he thought he could help he was on his way. He has left a huge hole in our hearts but our endless stories about him will keep his memory alive.
Preceded in death by his Grandfather Gorris Cham Branham, Father Ricky Michael Branham, Grandfather Williams L Wilson and Grandmother Sally B. Wilson
Travis has left precious and cherished memories for his Grandmother Mary Branham, his mother Kathy Fox, his Sisters Amanda Browning (Timothy Browning), Ashleigh Quinones (Colton Quinones) and nieces and nephews Zakkary Browning, Isabel Browning, Fox Browning, Jaime Browning and Sofia Browning. Although Travis never married or had children he held a special place in his heart for Rage and Amellia Elkins, he loved every moment spent with them.
Travis handled all the arrangements when our dad passed. There was no funeral, no vigil, no remembrance of life or gathering. He said that sitting in a room with his family was all he wanted. He asked us to promise him the same. So there will be no funeral, no vigil, no remembrance of life or gathering. We gathered as a family and we now raise him up. He’s with God.
