William "Travis" Holmes was born October 2nd, 1992 to Anthony Wayne Blasius Holmes and Ada Marie Mudgett (Holmes) Cartright on Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. He grew up on four military installations before settling in San Antonio with his mother, and brothers Dylan Wayne Holmes and Anthony Everett Holmes. Travis attended Shirley Howsman Elementary School, William P. Hobby Middle School and graduated in 2011 from Tom C. Clark High School in San Antonio. While at Clark, Travis was very involved in the Clark Marching Band and several different bands at Community Bible Church. He was also active in the German Honor Society. He was fortunate to travel to Germany three times, twice because of the efforts of his German teacher, Frau Torres. Additionally he traveled to Holland, Rwanda, Kenya, Dubai, The United Arab Emirates and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Travis attended Texas State University for four years before moving back to San Antonio to work in Customer Support/Information Technology for Hulu, Mail Chimp and Thomas Inc. (now Xometry) where he was a Web Developer Customer Support Engineer for close to 3 years. According to the CEO Travis was known for his enduring warmth and friendly approach, "To say he was well-liked by one and all is an understatement." Travis' favorite past-time other than spending time with friends and family was his drumming. According to his band mates, Travis was the best drummer they had ever played with. Travis also had an amazing collection of books and Dragon Ball merchandise. Travis' love for his pets: Kado, Link, Zelda and Luke extended to his friends' and family's pets and all the stray cats in his neighborhood. Travis was a kind and compassionate soul, always ready to give especially to those less fortunate than himself. Travis was preceded in death by his "Opa" Holmes. Travis is survived by his mother Ada Cartright and step father Michael Cartright, his father Anthony Holmes and step dad Robert Kendall; brothers Dylan Holmes and Anthony E. Holmes and step sister and brother-in-law Zoee (Cartright) and Dylan Crutcher; grandparents "Oma" Holmes, Brad and Rose Mudgett and "Pappy” Cartright; aunts and uncles Karen Holmes, Tom Holmes, and Brad and Sharon Mudgett; great-grandmother Anna Flores; and cousins Isaiah St. Clair and Drew Mudgett. Family members across the United States as well as in England, Wales, Australia, Germany, Chile, Argentina, and New Zealand also mourn his passing. “In honor of Travis and in lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the following.” https://www.sanantoniopetsalive.org/ways-to-give/donate-now https://musicfoundationofsanantonio.org/
