August 21, 1973 ~ December 7, 2022
Travis Lee Johnson, 49, of Robbins, passed away on Wednesday, December 7, 2022 at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, surrounded by his family. He went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Travis was born on August 21, 1973 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. When he was 9 years old, his family moved to Gillette, Wyoming. At the age of 17, Travis joined the National Guard Reserves. Upon graduating from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army, serving his country for 5 years. For the past 25 years, Travis has worked for the Department of Public Safety as a Correctional Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Correctional Training Specialist, and Correctional Training Instructor. He was a member of the Elise Lodge #555.
Travis is remembered for his kind, generous spirit and always putting others ahead of himself. He was a family man and spent his time away from work enjoying life with his family playing board games, enjoying outdoor activities, occasional trips to the movies, summer road trips, evening meals around the table, and just hanging out in the living room together at the end of the day. Not only was Travis an incredible dad to his own children, he was also a “dad” to their close friends making each one feel like part of his family. The apple of his eye was his three-year-old grandson, Oliver. He looked forward to their weekly “facetime” visits. Travis’ faith was also important to him. He loved the Lord. Over the years, he served as a Sunday school teacher and also helped with the sound system at Browns Chapel Christian Church, where he was a member. Travis was a friend to many and even at the end was still giving to others through the donation of his organs, eyes, and tissue.
Travis is survived by his wife, Lori; his children, Trenton (Jessica), Alexia (David), Noah, and Matthew; his grandson, Oliver; his parents, Arnold and Linda Johnson; his brothers, Darren and Troy (Brooke); his mother-in-law, Becky Brewer; and his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws.
Funeral service will be held on Saturday, December 10, at 2 o’clock at Browns Chapel Christian Church in Robbins. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
The family will receive friends on Friday, December 9, from 7 to 9 at Kennedy Funeral Home in Robbins and other times at the home of his mother-in-law, Becky Brewer at 2785 Spies Road.
Kennedy Funeral Home is honored to serve the Johnson family.

What an honor, what a blessing, what a privilege we had to know Travis, and to study the Word of God with him in a weekly Bible study.
We are saddened by the loss of such a sweet, gentle man, a beloved husband and father. He had the testimony of knowing Jesus Christ as His personal Lord and Savior. Heaven is now sweeter since Travis is there.
May God uphold you with His peace and His comfort and His strength, and may His promises be real to you during this time.
With heartfelt sympathy and many prayers for Lori, Noah, Matthew, Becky, Trenton, and the rest of the family.

Travis was a true gentleman. I worked with him at Southern and he was always willing o help especially when we sponsored fund raisers to help each other in times of need. A true earthly angel taken from us too soon. Rest In Peace Travis and God bless your family during this difficult time. We love you!

So very sorry for your loss.Prayers for the family.
To Lori, Noah, Matthew and all of his family:
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
May you all find comfort in knowing that Travis is with Jesus and you WILL see him again.
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
My son Matt, husband Cameron and I are so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know from my own father’s sudden passing when I was just 24 that these times are indescribably painful. I wish that I could offer meaingful words of wisdom, but all I can say is that, in time, you will be able to celebrate both the joy and laughter of his life at the same time that you carry the sorrow of his passing. Hugs to you and the entire family.
Since coming to OSDT, I have had the honor of knowing Travis for just a short period of time. During that time, his Light for Christ was evident in all his actions. My prayers for his family and friends. Revelation 21:4
Many thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.
Prayers for all the family, You have my deepest sympathy.
I cannot fathom the reason our Lord would call Travis home now. Lori, Noah, and Matthew… I am so sorry. You will remain in my prayers. Love you all.
Lori and family,
Kim and I are so grieved for you all in your loss of Travis. A kind, friendly and encouraging young man. I admired that he was dedicated to family, church, school and his friends. He will be missed. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief and in the days to come. We will pray for you. We love you. Kim and Bruce Williams
