TRAVIS THOMAS LESLIE DAVIS
Accidentally on Sunday, September
14, 2014 Travis died at the age of 27 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Left to forever cherish Travis’
memory are his little daughter Kenzi; Kenzi’s mother Kait Porth (and her parents Tim and Laurie);
parents Helen Davis and Lyle Boyd; step-sisters Diane
(Marc Payette) and Linda; niece Sophie Payette; grandparents Ed and Merle Boyd;
half-brother Justin Davis; as well as by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He was predeceased by his grandparents Tom and Marge Newstrom; Leslie and
Kathleen Davis; half-brother Bradley Davis; and biological father Keith Davis.
Travis grew up in St. James,
mostly in the Crestview area. His smiling face, pleasant disposition and willingness
to help anyone in need earned him many lasting friendships over the years, including
their families. Travis would gladly give you the shirt off his back. His
greatest love was his daughter Kenzi who is just over one year old. Travis was a very good father and had many
plans for her future. His passion for hockey was shared by his parents and
family, especially Grandpa N. who kept stats on every game he played from age five
through to Grade 12. Travis played for Deer Lodge, Assiniboia West, AA
Canadians and finally the JT Piper Hockey Team.
Many wonderful summers were spent at the lake at Spruce Sands
where he made many lasting friendships. The Boyd family cabin was another
favorite pastime with Grandma and Grandpa Boyd, family and friends. He loved
working outdoors and learned brick-laying but preferred water and sewer and
driving heavy equipment. Travis was employed for some years by Tallieu
Construction but had been recently hired by Maple Leaf Construction. He had
hopes for a long career with them.
A Celebration of
Life will be held on Monday, September 22, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. in Westwood
Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive.
The family would like to thank
the valiant effort made by the Winnipeg Paramedics, Firemen and Police who
tried so hard to revive Travis and for their compassion and care.
In lieu of flowers donations can
be made to a Trust Fund set up for Kenzi Davis at Royal Bank of Canada, 3297
Portage Avenue @ Parkhill Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The account number is
02147 – 5048368. The funds will be used to ensure Kenzi can enjoy such things
as extra-curricular activities, sports and a future education, all of which
Travis planned for his daughter.
