Travis Russo, a devoted father, husband, cherished son, beloved brother, and loyal friend passed away on April 15, 2026 at the age of 49.
Born on September 15, 1976, Travis lived a life defined by passion, humor, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. He was the kind of person who showed up fully, giving 100% to everything he did. Travis was driven to succeed and worked hard to build a career he was proud of, a reflection of his determination and commitment to providing for those he loved.
Above all, Travis loved his children. They were the center of his world, and he took immense pride in being their father. His love for them was constant, fierce, and unconditional.
Travis had a way of bringing joy into everyday moments. Whether it was cheering on the Texas Longhorns, or his beloved Denver Broncos, he made life feel fuller, warmer, and more fun to those around him.
He will be remembered for his big heart, his infectious laugh, and the way he made people feel seen and cared for. His presence was a gift, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.
Travis is survived by his wife, Janet, his children, Tristan, Gemma and Evey; his parents, Larry and Celeste Russo; and his siblings, Brian Russo, Christina Russo, Shyla Shepard and Sandra Robayo; his late brother Larry Russo Jr.; and many extended family members and friends who will carry his memory forward.
