Travis Flasschoen, Florence, KS—Travis Flasschoen, a beloved member of the Florence community, tragically passed away on June 20th, leaving behind a grieving family and community. Travis was a devoted husband to Sarah McAuley and a loving father to their 2-year-old son. His unexpected passing has left a significant void in the lives of those who knew him.
Travis, a disabled veteran who served his country with honor, was known for his strong work ethic and deep commitment to his family. For six years, he was an integral part of the Gill Fencing team, despite never being formally employed by the company. Jason Gill, a close friend, shared fond memories of Travis on Facebook, describing how Travis had initially offered to take away old fences for free, a gesture that turned into a long-lasting relationship with the team. "What he did with the thousands and thousands of feet of old fence we gave him, I’m still not sure of. I just know he was an incredibly hard working man who cared deeply for his family," Jason Gill wrote.
Travis’s passing has left his wife Sarah struggling to cover final expenses, as he did not have life insurance. To help alleviate the financial burden, Sarah has organized a GoFundMe campaign, aiming to raise $6,000. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Quentin Pendergrass, who donated $10,000, the fundraiser has already surpassed its goal, offering much-needed support to Sarah and their young son.
In his memory, friends and family have taken to social media to express their sorrow and support. Jeremy Sheffler, a childhood friend, shared, "We grew up together," highlighting the lifelong bond they shared. Jason Gill also urged others to contribute, saying, "If you don’t feel like you can donate, please share this post."
Travis Flasschoen’s legacy as a dedicated family man and a hard worker will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His passing is a profound loss, and the community stands with Sarah and their son during this incredibly difficult time.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Travis Flasschoen. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time of mourning.
