Durham, North Carolina - Travis Scott Barber, beloved son, brother, and uncle, passed away on Thursday, (February 6, 2025) as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident at the age of 29. His loss leaves us with sadness that words cannot express. We are wholly unprepared to walk this world without him, but find some comfort in knowing we will walk the next beside him.
Travis was born May 18, 1995 in Dansville, the son of Scott and Danielle (Hesby) Barber of Varysburg.
He was a gentle man with a kindness and warmth that radiated outward, touching all who knew him - family, friends, and animals alike. He was a playful spirit with a unique sense of humor that brought joy to those lucky enough to catch it. His infectious smile and genuine care for others were a testament to his deep soul and ability to see the good in everyone. Travis was a builder and tinkerer. Whether building computers or adding modifications to his motorcycle, or car, he loved the challenge of making things better. His motorcycle was more than a hobby - it was a source of immense pride, fun and expression.
A dedicated Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Penguins fan, Travis was especially fond of quarterback Josh Allen, who was, in his words, "his boy." He also enjoyed playing in his local hockey league. Through his motorcycle community, hockey league, and work, he made lasting friendships and found a sense of camaraderie.
Travis was more than just a friend - he was a son, a brother to three sisters, and cherished uncle of 2 nieces and 3 nephews, all of whom adored him deeply. His love for them was boundless, and they will carry his memory with them always.
Surviving along with his parents are his sisters, Noelle (Schuyler) Barber-Crippen of Arvada, Colorado, Kirstin (Brian) Dwyer of Fairport, and Jenna (Max) Delaplane of Twinsburg, Ohio; nieces and nephews, Silas, Torrey, Talia, Blake, and Calvin.
In death, Travis is reunited with his paternal grandparents, Dr. Donald and Janet (Gephardt) Barber; maternal grandparents, Chester and Norma (Klasse) Hesby; aunt, Sandra Barber.
Family and friends are invited to call on Monday, (February 17, 2025) from 4 to 8:00 p.m. at Marley Funeral Home, 135 Main Street in Attica. Travis' funeral service will be held on Tuesday (February 18, 2025) at 11:00 a.m. at the funeral home. Burial will be in Johnsonburg Cemetery in Johnsonburg.
