There has been a terrible tragedy in Max and we
all are missing one fine young man who always had a smile for you. Travis
Wagner worked at the Max Farmers Elevator for approximately 12 years and you
could always count on him to help you get the big bags of cat or dog food into
your vehicle. He did this with his contagious smile!
Travis adored his little daughter Chesney, and
you knew if you asked him if he had a picture of her, he'd have one in his
billfold. Travis's brother worked as an intern at the McLean County Independent
one summer and with that contagious smile and twinkling eyes, Travis would ask
if you read his brother's article. Travis was so proud of him.
Esther Krebsbach and the late Lyle Krebsbach are
Travis's grandparents and they once ran the grocery store in Max. Esther lives in Garrison now, retired from
their grocery store!
Death has a powerful sting but all your memories
of Travis will ease the pain.
We all will miss you, Travis. Keep giving your
smile to others.
