He was born in Port Arthur, Texas to Mildred and Jessie Travis and grew up in east Texas where he enjoyed baseball, fishing, and family. Kirk served his country with the United States Air Force and was a retired/disabled veteran. He loved cooking and fishing but his greatest love was music. He had a great love for the Lord throughout his life and was blessed with an extraordinary talent for music and an amazing voice that he used to glorify the Savior and touch many lives. He began singing as a young boy with his identical twin brother, Kent, and after retiring from the Air Force he spent many years playing and singing southern gospel music, despite suffering from heart and kidney disease. Among the groups he played with throughout the years were The Sounds of Victory of East Texas, the Jubillaires of Winter Haven, Fl, and the Troubadors of Largo, Fl. ?u? <https://veteransfuneralcare.com/vfchonored/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Charles-Kirk-Travis-2.jpeg.tif>?/u?He is survived by his wife, Wendy Travis, and son, Joshua Daigle, of Virginia; son, James Travis; daughter, Charlie Howard; older brother, Phillip Travis; twin brother Kent Travis, all of Texas; four grandchildren, Chrissy White, Savannah Daigle, Makenna Daigle, and Jaxon Daigle; two great grandsons, along with nieces and nephews.
