Born on April 11, 1984, in Monroe, North Carolina, Travis’s life was a testament to devotion—both to his family and his country.
Travis was the beloved son of Donnie Carelock(Jamie Williams)and Terry Simpson. He was preceded in death by his father, Donnie, and his brother, Brandon Simpson.

He leaves behind his cherished sisters, Nicole Williams and Laquita Williams, as well as his stepsister, EuSheakia Long. He is also survived by a host of devoted aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends who will remember him for his warmth, generosity, and unwavering loyalty.

I’m Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now; He set me free.
Special Thanks
The family of TRAVIS SIMPSON extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time.
