Travis Chapman passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 30, 2017 at his home in Jordan, MN. He was only 36 years old.
Travis Allan Chapman was born on December 16, 1980 in San Jose, CA to Gerald Chapman and DeBra Jensen. The family moved to the Albert Lea area when Travis was four. Travis moved to Eden Prairie, and Eventually Jordan, MN when he was a teenager. It was there that he met some very close, lifelong friends. Travis worked at My Pillow in Chaska, MN and most recently at a convenience store in Jordan, MN.
Travis enjoyed many things in life. He was an excellent artist, creating brilliant drawings. He liked to listen to metal music, play guitar, ride skateboard, and be on his computer. He couldn't go a day without eating his cereal – Cocoa Puffs being his favorite! Travis was a laid back, quiet, easy going guy. He stayed close with his tight knit group of friends. He will be remembered as a great guy who was loved by all who knew him, and someone who always had a smile on his face.
He is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents; aunts, Nancy, Dawn, Esther, and Gerry.
Travis is survived by his parents, Jerry (Robyn) Chapman and Debbie (Ron Sickels) Lestrud; grandmother, Beulah "Bea" Goering; siblings, Sandy (Mark) Skalicky, Teisha Chapman, Candice Lestrud, and Shantel Chapman; aunts and uncles, Robert (Lynn) Chapman, Donna (Vic) Avery, Roberta (Duane) Herold, Donald Euerle, Renee (Rocky) Hunter, and William Jensen; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Blessed be his memory!
