Travis Austin
Bestwick
May 29, 1983 — Jun 22, 2008
Kenosha- Travis Austin Bestwick, 25, passed away on Sunday, June 22, 2008 at 8:08 am in Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred early Sunday morning in Kenosha. Travis was born on May 29, 1983 in Baraboo, WI to Rick Bestwick and Nanci Hulchiy. He lived most of his life in Lake County, Illinois until moving to Kenosha 5 years ago. Travis was employed as an extremely knowledgeable customer service specialist for Argus Wireless in Zion, IL. Travis definitely lived life to the fullest. He was a fanatic about riding motorcycles, four-wheelers and snowmobiles – though his deepest passion was for racing his "Green Machine" car. Above all, Travis was happiest when in the surroundings of his family and friends. He loved to spend time with his "Princess" Arianna and his "little buddy" Jordynn. Surviving are his parents, Rick and Nanci Bestwick of Kenosha; sister, Shawna Bestwick; niece, Arianna; nephew, Jordynn; aunts, Judy (Michael) Guzoldo, Diane (Robert) Motyka, Marybeth (Michael) Madry, Kileen (Louie) Koutromanos and Peggy (Scott) Smith; uncles, Stewart (Marjorie) Bestwick, Jack (Verna) Bestwick, David (Lyla) Orrico; Michael, William and John Hulchiy; and the love of his life, Dana Neises. Travis is further survived by many other aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends too numerous to mention by name. Travis was preceded in death by his grandparents, Michael Hulchiy, Dorothy Hulchiy, Lester Bestwick, Charles Orrico, Lorraine Orrico-Pattee and Bill Pattee; uncle, Robert Hulchiy; and very dear cousin, Michael Madry. Funeral services will be held in the funeral home on Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 7:30 pm with Rev. Jeffrey M. Thielen officiating. Visitation will be on Thursday from 4-7:30 pm. All are invited to return to the funeral home on Friday beginning at 1:30 pm for the procession that will leave for Sunset Ridge Memorial Park at 2:00 pm. A heartfelt note of thanks to all the first responders of Kenosha Police and Fire; Flight-For-Life; and Froedtert Hospital for trying to save our beloved Travis. May God bless all of you!
