Obituary of Travis Phillip Klersy

Travis Phillip Klersy died on November 20, 2023 at North Memorial Hospital at the age of 48. He was a resident of Fridley. 

Travis was born on November 20, 1975 in Minneapolis, MN. He was the loving son of James Phillip Klersy and Camille Ann DeMars (Olson). 

Travis Klersy was a stay at home, home-school parent for many years. In 2018 he went back to work as an associate at Duluth Trading Company where he stayed for five years. He had recently started a new job at Posi-Pack.

He had a deep love and knowledge of music and collected records. He was a voracious reader, and particularly enjoyed hard case crime novels, and the works of William Gibson and Andrew Vachss. He quite loved spending time with his son, thrifting, walking along the Mississippi River to the Coon Rapids Dam, enjoying the outdoors, dining out with friends, and going to concerts. The last concert Travis attended was Bikini Kill, a band he had been hoping to see for decades; watching the show with Jen, Holden and Francis was a high point of the year. He also loved working on cars with his best friend Ricky, whom he considered a brother. 

He is preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his former spouse Jennifer Klersy of the home. They were married 25 years; his son Holden Klersy of the home, and step-father Denny Demars of Coon Rapids.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at the Cremation Society of Minnesota, 7835 Brooklyn Blvd, Brooklyn Park, MN at 1PM with a Memorial Service immediately following at 2PM.

Rest in Peace
