Travis John Winters

Travis John Winters, 46, passed away at his home in Winona on Tuesday, July 26th.

He was born on September 12, 1975 in Rochester, Minnesota to Gregory and Kailyn Winters.  He was a resident of Minnesota for most of his life.  He lived in Wisconsin for two years but thankfully never became a Packer fan.

He attended John Marshall High School, graduating in 1994 and then worked at various manufacturing jobs throughout his lifetime.

Travis was known for his kindness, sense of humor and infectious smile.  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, biking, softball and good music.  He was an avid sports fan.  He loved all Minnesota teams but was especially fond of the Vikings.

He is survived by his mother, Kailyn (Dan) DeFrang; sister, Tiffany (Jamie) Ullius; step-brother, Nick (Jenny) DeFrang and his beloved nephews and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his father, Gregory Winters; Uncle, David Johnson; Maternal Grandparents, Allen and Eunice Johnson and Parental Grandparents, Delmar and Beverly Donaldson.

A memorial service will be held Tuesday, August 2nd at 11:00 and a visitation Monday, August 1st 4:00-7:00.  Both will be at River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home.

Please come casually dressed.  Travis loved Minnesota sports teams so wear a shirt or jersey if you have one.

In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial tributes be directed to the DeFrang family to assist with expenses.

A special thank you goes to MN Adult & Teen Challenge and Common Ground for all their help and care.  We appreciate all you did for Travis.
