Alvin "Stickman" Travis Obituary (1951 - 2022)

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes", says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds follow them." Revelation 14:13 I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. II Timothy 4:7 Alvin "Stickman" Travis was born on October 23, 1951 at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, LA to the parentage of the late Joseph Travis, Sr. and Lula Mae Fields Travis. God saw that Alvin was getting tired, and on Saturday, August 13, 2022, at Ochsner Medical Center in Houma, LA, He dispatched His angels to release Alvin of all pain. Alvin was baptized on January 16, 2005, at Greater Woodville Baptist Church by Pastor Mark Nelson, Sr. He was a faithful Sunday worship and Bible study member that didn't like to miss church, even through his sickness. He loved God and his pastor. Alvin was united in holy matrimony to his soul mate, Belinda Valentine Travis on March 13, 2005. In this union, one daughter was born, Lorena Mae Travis, or "Poop" as he called her; four additional children were reared, Sandtrell, Peggy, Shelcia, and Jordy. He grew up on the plantation with his parents and siblings. He attended Magnolia High School. During his working years, he he labored at Avondale Shipyard, Fluor Daniel Chemical Plant, Brazan Farms, Trinity Farms, and the Rodrigue's Farm. No doubt, farming was his passion. Alvin was a quiet humble man who enjoyed watching tv, and playing with his grandkids. He embraced the name "PawPaw" with a smile. Alvin leaves to cherish his memories his loving wife, Belinda Travis; one daughter, Lorena Travis; four bonus children, Sandtrell (Stacy) Broden, Peggy Valentine, Shelcia (Kyrin) Carter, and Jordy Valentine (Aisha); one brother, Kenneth Travis; two sisters, Jamesetta Travis and Barbara Travis Steib; Godmother, Gloria LeeNaquin; Godchildren, Tyler Broden, Barry Batiste, and Jovanna Joseph Banks; devoted cousins, Raymond and Joycelynn Jack, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
