Travis Scott

Travis Scott was born on November 15, 1971, in Dallas, Texas, and passed into eternity at age 53 on February 7, 2025, at his home in Sanger, Texas. He faced his diagnosis of stage four pancreatic cancer with incredible courage, resolve and even humor at times. Travis always found comfort in knowing that many people were praying for him.

He is survived by his parents Robert and Marlyn Scott, brother Jason Scott and wife Nikki, and nieces and nephews Morgan, Briana, Mallory, Matt, Ran and Levi. Leaving behind many aunts, uncles, cousins and a large group of friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Joe and Pearl Scott, Harvine Bovier, Vern and Elma Bovier; and by a cousin, Troy Stearman.

Travis graduated from Coppell High School in June 1990, and then entered the Marine Corps, attending basic training at MCRD in San Diego, California, and completing the course in F/A 18 hydraulics maintenance and repair in Millington, Tennessee. After the Marine Corps, Travis held a variety of jobs that required travel around the United States, and he always enjoyed seeing new areas of the country.

Although he resided in North Texas through most of his life, he treasured international memories from age five when his father worked in Kuwait. His adventures with the family included a donkey ride around the Great Pyramid of Giza, visiting the Cairo Museum, and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Travis was deeply proud of his own Native American roots and his membership in the Citizens Potawatomi Nation.

Over his lifetime, Travis enjoyed cycling, fishing, hunting, disc golf and gaming with a close group of friends. He loved to draw and write poetry and maintained an intellectual curiosity that led one friend to nickname him “The Professor.” With a big heart for children, cats and dogs, he had a keen sense of humor that led to co-developing a Facebook profile for an oven-mitt puppet.

In remembering Travis, his friends describe him as loyal, inspiring, compassionate, witty, free-spirited, audacious, vibrant, a big brother, and an extrovert with a contagious laugh who lit up a room. One friend described him as having a gravitational pull.

His family wants to thank all his friends who have come alongside us, sharing memories, giving encouragement and allowing us to embrace them in our shared loss. We offer special gratitude to Rockstar Welding in Pilot Point, Texas, who hired Travis as project manager less than a year before his passing. There, Travis enjoyed applying the skills acquired during his work history as well as camaraderie with his co-workers. As his health declined, the owners responded with exceptional flexibility, extending radical grace and generosity up to and beyond his passing—a gift that Travis’s family will always remember.

Celebration of Life is 10:30 a.m. May 17, 2025 at Rock Pointe Church Central Campus 4503 Cross Timbers Rd. in Flower Mound, Texas 75028. Suggested parking is in the back, a lite lunch will follow in the foyer.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Travis’s love for the outdoors and children, we ask that you consider a memorial gift to one of the non-profits below.
