His loving wife and three children were at his side as he bravely transitioned from this life to the next. Travis Lynn Anderson was born on June 25, 1961 in Ammon, Idaho to Jarvis and Sadie Venetta Anderson. Travis served an LDS mission in Stockholm, Sweden. Upon returning home at the completion of his mission, he married his sweetheart Wendy Warner on August 17, 1984 in the Salt Lake City, Utah temple for time and all eternity. During their 37 years of marriage, Travis and Wendy were blessed with 3 children and 6 grandchildren. Travis cherished each of them individually and immensely. Always the consummate family man, he loved family camping trips, playing sports and being active outdoors. No matter the occasion, Travis was always the life of the party. Travis also had a soft, quiet side and enjoyed reading books, listening to music and watching movies. He was the hardest worker around and did whatever it took to ensure that his family was taken care of. Travis felt genuine love for everyone, and he loved to serve others, whether in official church callings or in his everyday life. He lived a faith-filled life and held a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone who met Travis loved his smile, earning him the nickname “Smiley” that he carried throughout his life. He was always the peacemaker and had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel welcome and loved and to make people laugh. He is survived by his eternal companion Wendy Anderson; their children Petra Lund (Johnathan), Paige Kitchen (Nick), Trevor Anderson (Allison) and grandchildren Grayson, Zoe, Nixon, Oliver, Sailor and Maxwell; his mother Venetta Anderson; siblings Trina, Teresa, Tom, Jalin and John; his in-laws and his many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father Jarvis Anderson. Celebration of life will be held on Friday, August 27, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at 2361 West 13400 South, Riverton, UT.
