Richard Martin Travis, 56 , a longtime Conway resident, passed away on March 24th, 2025, at St. Joseph Warren Hospital in Warren, Ohio, where he had been patient for the past week.

He was born in Beaver and was a son of the late Harold M. Jr. and Erma Brandenburg Travis, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his two beloved sons, Stephen and Joshua Travis, his brother, Scott Travis, his nephew, Ren, his niece, April, his Aunt Mary, his former spouse, Kathy George and his girlfriend, Marlo Nascone-Stivison. From his early years, Richard’s life was marked by courage and determination, having been diagnosed with leukemia at the tender age of nine. His battle with the disease showcased his strength as he entered remission during his teenage years.

He was raised in Conway. Richard’s educational journey was punctuated by his love for sports. He channeled his energy and passion onto the football field in high school.

For years, he was the familiar face delivering Stroehmann Bakery goods to stores throughout the Beaver County area. Later, he shifted gears and became a shuttle van driver for Norfolk Southern Railroad.

Music was a refuge and a source of joy for Richard. His eclectic taste ranged from the twang of country tunes to the rock anthems of KISS and Nickelback. Richard’s love for music was matched only by his enthusiasm for sports. He was a devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins, and Oakland A’s.

Richard also found pleasure in the strikes and spares of bowling. As a former member of a bowling league at Baden Lanes, he enjoyed the friendly competition and the bonds formed over the lanes.

All services will be private. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.
