Travis dedicated 13 remarkable years to Big Daddy & Son Towing with his father, Sam Carter. where he not only honed his skills but turned his lifelong hobby of automotive restoration into a fulfilling career. His love for classic cars was evident; he had an undeniable passion for his '55 and '57 Chevys, which he adored showing off.

He was the life of every gathering, known for having a wild streak that kept his friends entertained and his family on their toes. Travis had a way of charming everyone around him, using his wit and charisma to light up even the dullest of days.

Among his proudest achievements were his wonderful children. He was known as the "cool dad,” a title he wore proudly! Travis loved nothing more than picking up his kids from school in his hotrod and whisking them away for adventures, such as hitting the Ware Shoals drag strip. He truly embraced the joys of fatherhood, making sure that fun and family were always at the forefront of his daily life.
