Travis attended Osage Community Schools where he had just completed the 9th grade. Travis was also a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church where he was preparing for his confirmation in the coming year. You could always find Travis pages deep in a book. Reading took Travis on so many adventures and sometimes if he enjoyed the adventure enough, he would reread it several times. He also loved sketching and drawing. Travis got to experience his first pottery class this last year at school. Not only did he find art to be therapeutic, he was also learning how important music can be in our lives. Travis also loved to know the details on the things that interested him, and he was leaning towards working with wind turbines. Travis is survived by his mother, Nicole O’Malley of Orchard, and siblings, Autumn O’Malley of Iowa City, Mason O’Malley of Osage, Noah O’Malley of Osage, Kaegen O’Malley of Orchard, Isabelle O’Malley of Orchard, Charlie O’Malley of Orchard, Asher O’Malley of Orchard, and Roman O’Malley of Orchard. His grandparents Trent Linkenmeyer of Riceville and Anne Linkenmeyer of Osage. Several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Travis was also lucky enough to have so many chosen family members, also. Chuck and Teresa Knecht and their families, Ron and Marilyn Venz, and Malcom and Tera Schenker and their daughter Addison who have all came into Travis’ life by the power of adoption and they all loved him as their own. .

Travis was such a sweet boy with many friends including myself.. He always cared for the people he loved. I'm so sorry for the loss of his family, I know it has to be hard. Before I moved he'd always come up to me and talk to me. He had the brightest smile that could cheer up anyone in the room.

To Travis's family I am so sorry for your loss. He was my bus buddy for a long time I will never forget getting on the bus every morning to seeing he smile and say hey Lexy and listen to him go on and on about his new book he was into. He was my best friend and always knew how to cheer me up. I will always miss him and live every day in his memory and do everything to make him proud
