Mr. Travis Matthew Parker, 28, beloved son of Steve and Kathy Parker, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 4, 2020. Travis was born on September 14, 1991 in Conway, South Carolina. Travis had a natural competitive spirit and was passionate about any and all things sports and always gave everything he did his all. He truly loved life and lived every day to its fullest. He loved to spend his free time with his family, on the beach surfing, on his boat fishing with his Dad, playing baseball and just being outdoors. His personality was larger than life, his laugh was infectious and he never met a stranger. He knew how to light up a room and be the life of the party. He was truly one in a million and will be deeply missed. Travis graduated from the College of Charleston in 2015 with a Dual Bachelors Degree in Business Administration as well as Tourism and Hospitality Management. He was most recently employed by Coastal Carolina University as Sports Sales Manager.
