My dad, Clifford, is brother #4 of the 6 Mann boys. I can say without a doubt, my dad looked up to his older brother, for many, and varied reasons. Dad will miss his visits to the Valley to take Travis out and about - the VFW and The Riverside Club, where they enjoyed music, dancing, and the company of friends and family. As a kid - I will always hold dear the memories of epic Easter egg hunts held at his and Aunt Martha's property - large family gatherings - filled with music and laughter. And lots of ice cream from Golden Jersey. Uncle T was a musician extraordinaire - there wasn't a stringed instrument he couldn't play. My husband Todd, who plays guitar, relished in Uncle T's strumming at family reunions, and during visits. To say Travis will be missed is simply an understatement - of course he will - but when you're as large in life as he was - he'll be especially missed. Always, he'll be in our hearts with love. Rest easy Unc T. Heaven gains another Angel. Vicki (Mann) & Todd Hawthorne

Travis was one of the nicest people I've ever known. He and my Dad, Ernest Strickland, were friends when they worked at Golden Jersey Creamery and remained close friends, talking on the phone daily until my Dad passed away in 2016. He helped my Dad when my Mom passed away, he helped all of us with encouraging words and sharing stories and photos of he and Dad. He came to Moms funeral and visited Dad when he was in the hospital. I don't think he ever knew how much that meant to all of us but especially to our Dad.
The best and one of the forever in my heart memories of Travis is, he knew I loved black cherry ice cream. After I got married (married a sailor) in 1968 and moved away from Texas and until he retired from Golden Jersey, every time I visited Mom and Dad, he would make me a "special Travis Black Cherry" 3 gallon container (yes 3 gallon) of ice cream. It was and still is the best I've ever had or will ever have. It was filled with more cherries than you would ever find buying it off the shelf, but what most meaningful, is that he enjoyed doing it to make someone happy and when we talked over the many years since, if I was sad, he always told me he was "sending me his special ice cream:. It always made me laugh. I will never forget him.
Sending condolences and prayers to his family, they have lost a treasure as have all of his friends. Rest in Peace, Travis.

Travis was a wonderful friend to my dad Ernest Strickland and our family. My dad called him the "weather man" , this afternoon if they were both alive they would be on the phone discussing these thunder storms and hail. Prayers from the Strickland family to all of Travis's loved ones. Its so hard when you loose a parent, things are never the same. Treasure all your beautiful l memories. Rest In Peace Travis hope you meet up with daddy. God Bless you.
