He was a plant utility for Whirlpool Corporation in Amana. Travis was a proud member of Drinkers Club of America. Outside of spending time with his family, friends and children, some of his favorite things were Jacksonville Jaguar games, Iowa Hawkeye football games and St. Louis Cardinals playoff games. He certainly liked to eat morel mushrooms more than he liked to hunt for them. Travis was a very sociable person who could find somebody to party with in any and every situation in any and every town he was in. If given the opportunity he could have won awards for Guitar Hero and he was notorious for adjusting all the settings on everybody's system so the game could keep up with his high level of playing. Travis is survived by his parents, Margaret Thomas of Tipton and Billy (Candy) Wallace of Tipton; daughters, Mya and Isabelle; sons, Isiak, Blake and Hayden; brothers, Damen (Amanda) Wallace of Oxford and Ben (Brooke) Hanks of North Liberty; niece, Alyissa; nephew, Kain; and girlfriend, Jessica Simms. He was preceded in death by his brother, Tyler Wallace; and grandparents, Wilma and Vernon Thomas and William Wallace Sr.
