Travis Cartwright, at 37 years old, passed away on January 31, 2019 at Banner University Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.
Travis was born on March 18, 1981 in Mesa, Arizona to Kevin and Judith (Herrington) Cartwright. He grew up in both Gilbert and Apache Junction Arizona. Travis worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator and Superintendent for Paveco Inc, Combs Construction and SWP Contracting. He was a hard worker and took great pride in everything he did whether it was professionally or personally.
Travis was such a good hearted, loving person and was always willing to help anyone who needed it, whether it was a stranger on the side of the road, or someone in his large circle of family and friends. He would always be there for you when you wanted or needed him to be. Often times, even if you did not know you needed him, he knew you did. Travis was adventurous and enjoyed many things including riding his motorcycle, going to the lake, going to concerts and more importantly, spending time with family. Family meant the world to Travis and anyone who knew him, could feel the love with just one look. The unconditional love he had for his wife and children was never-ending. He was a loving father, husband, son, uncle, brother, and friend that will be greatly missed by all.
His grandparents Carol Eugene Herrington, Ada Knuth, Joyce Marie Cartwright, and his Aunt Mary Pena, preceded Travis in death. Travis is survived by his wife, Ashley Cartwright, their two children, Alexander and Isabella, his grandparents Raymond Cartwright and Jean Knuth, his parents Kevin and Judith (Herrington) Cartwright, brother Casey (Tiffany) Cartwright, sister Mandi (Preston) Knaust, two nephews Mason Knaust and Oliver Cartwright, as well as many cousins, uncles and aunts.

I love you all so very much. My heart breaks every day that my cousin is gone. This isn’t how his story was supposed to end. This world needed more time with him.
Travis was much more to us than just our nephew. He grew up with our family and he was just like one of our sons. Whenever Travis, Casey, and Mandi got the chance, they were at our house having a blast just being total rascals outside. We will never, ever, forget you, Travis. We love you guys❤️❤️❤️
My condolences to Judy and Kevin and the family…
We loved our nephew, Travis so very much.. We were so happy when he found the love of his life, Ashley, and was blessed with two her two children who he loved as if they were his own. Only certain people are that way, Travis was one of them! And the love was returned to him! How much more can anyone ask for! That’s our Travis! I’m sure our Heavenly Father must have really needed him, must have had a special purpose for him to take him from us as we will all miss him greatly!
