Travis Reinel

Travis Joel Reinel (TJ) was born on November 19, 1986, to Gary and Nancy Reinel. Travis unexpectedly passed away at home on January 12, 2023. He was preceded in death by his grandparents on both sides and his parents, Gary Reinel and Nancy Reinel-Starks.

Travis was loved by so many. He loved being everyone’s support and had a very kind soul. Whenever you were in trouble, he was always there to be a friend. Travis loved his dog BamBam, they were two peas and a pod. He also loved all things outdoors: camping, hiking, and even fishing, these were safe spaces for him to escape the world. If you knew Travis, then you knew you made a forever friend. Travis loved his family above all else. He had some hard times in life, and he kept fighting through the battles. Travis, you were the youngest brother of seven and you will be greatly missed.

He leaves behind Lorie Rose, his girlfriend of 12 years, brothers and sisters: Kevin Reinel, Kristin (Ty) Perry, Charity (Jeff) Duncan, Andrea (Ray) Davis, Shawn (Liz) Reinel, and Amber Reinel. He also leaves behind nieces and nephews whom he loved no matter what they did. Makayla Reinel, Joshua Reinel, Matthew Duncan, Andrew Duncan, Conner Duncan, Jaxson Duncan, Zackary Vane, Bradley Vane, Daniel Vane, Katelynn Davis, Brandon Reinel, and many extended friends and family. There will be a private family service held at a later date. Thank you for continuing to send prayers and support through this difficult time. If you would like to send flowers you can do so through the funeral home or you can contact any of the family members as well.
