Travis Wade Williams, 61, of Hermantown, passed away suddenly from a heart attack on August 28, 2023. Travis was born October 3, 1961 in Duluth, Minnesota to Deane and Jean (Flewell) Williams. He grew up at the family cabin on Whiteface Reservoir, where he grew to love fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling.

He married Theresa Tucci in 1983 and they welcomed their daughter, Lianne in 1984.

Travis is survived by his wife Theresa, daughter Lianne (Nathan) Dombrowski, daughter Jess (David) Cook, grandsons Jack and Dylann, sister Lisa Lamar, half-sister Celeste (Matt) Aldridge, Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law David and LaVonne Tucci, brother-in laws; Tony (Carla) Tucci, Nic (Christine) Tucci, Patrick (Lisa) Tucci, Mike (Kelly) Tucci, and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
