Brent G. Travis was born April 5, 1949, to Deryl L. Travis Sr. and Marjorie M. Travis in Lincoln, Nebraska, and passed peacefully at home surrounded by family on November 3, 2024.
Brent worked as a Respiratory Therapist in hospitals and medical facilities in Lincoln until his retirement in 2011. When not working, Brent enjoyed hunting, woodworking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. He was especially fond of the time he spent with Cherie and dog Abby at their second home in Burwell, Nebraska, which he painstakingly remodeled. Brent’s faith grew throughout his years and became a very important part of his life. He was a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
Brent is survived by his wife of 22 years, Cherie; his daughters, Stacy Travis (partner Mark Kluver) and Kimberly Olivera (spouse Adrian); grandchildren, Jordan, Isabella, Henry, Hazel, Nora, Evangeline, Estela, and Ellis; and Brent’s faithful dog, Abby. He is also survived by his siblings, Patricia Gross (Thomas), Sheryl Travis-West, and Deryl Travis Jr. (Karen); sisters-in-law, Kathy Brumbaugh and Donna Wegner-Schoenfeld and her daughter Kristin Wegner; as well as many nieces and nephews. Brent was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Timothy and Bruce; granddaughter, Margaret; sister-in-law, Nancy Travis; and brother-in-law, Danny Wegner.
