Travis Allan


Steven Travis Allan, 31, of Provo, Utah, passed away December 26, 2003.

Travis was born March 9, 1972, to Donna Coates and Steven Allan. Travis was born and raised in Provo, and attended Timpanogos Elementary, Dixon Jr. High, and Provo High School. Travis graduated from Provo High School in 1990. He played on the PHS football team, and was an All-Region Wrestler for PHS.

He is survived by his parents, Donna Coates (Fred) Paskett, Steven Gerald (Diane) Allan; two sisters and one brother: Kimberli (Jeff) Hawkins, Kerri Allan, Wade Allan; two nieces and one nephew: Kaitlyn Hawkins, Brecka Hawkins, and Taylor Allan; his grandmother, Aleda Coates; and his prized hunting dog, Doc (Doc Holiday).

Travis was an avid, self-taught outdoorsman. He loved hiking, flyfishing, camping, and hunting with Doc. He also played one mean air guitar.

Travis tied his own fishing flies, and was very proud of his craftsmanship on his Sow Bug. He knew one day he would catch Walter, the one that got away. We'll try and catch Walter for you, Travy.

His love for the mountains took him from one heaven to another. He spent many hours in a tree stand looking for the perfect elk. He was able to call in the elk using just his voice.

Travis was most comfortable and at peace when he was in the outdoors, especially when he was on Mount Loafer and in Packard Canyon.

Travis was welcomed home by his Grandpa Coates. We know they are boxing together, right now!

Although Travis always felt small in stature, he was a spiritual giant, and larger than life to his family. We love you, Trav! You are always in our hearts.

Hey Trav . . . "Grab your MacDaddy and let's fish on."

A viewing will be held Tuesday, December 30th, from 6-8 p.m., at Berg Mortuary in Provo, 185 E. Center Street. Funeral services will be held Wed., December 31st, at 11 a.m., at the Grandview South 17th Ward Chapel, 1122 Grand Avenue, Provo. There will also be a viewing an hour prior to the funeral services.
