Travis James

On November 30, 2024, at 1:10 pm at Carle Foundation Hospital, Champaign, IL our beloved son and brother Travis A James, passed this life surrounded by his family after a tragic accident.

Travis was a bright light who touched our lives with his unique perspective and unwavering love. Travis was a giving man, didn’t know a stranger, and had a heart of gold. His infectious laugh and smile could make anyone smile from giggidy giggidy to his Homer Simpson impression, doof. Halloween and Christmas were his favorite holidays. He loved Michael Myers and Freddy Kruger. His favorite past time was listening to George Thorogood on his portable CD player. He loved anything outside, comic books, video games, animals and helping people.

Travis loved his momma’s and his dad, and his big brother Matt was his hero.

Travis is survived and missed tremendously by his parents Edwin (Corina) Crane and Sue Stevens of Danville, IL. Also survived by his siblings, Tassie D Crane, Bethany (Shaun) Casey, Rachael James, Miranda James, Angel (Chris) Thoma, Matthew (Courtney) Crane and Joshua Crane. He was the best uncle to 8 nieces and 7 nephews, who adored him. Travis will also be missed by his best friends, Becky, Jessie, Hailey, Scott, Billie, Shawn, Uncle Terry Britt and former school teacher Ashley.

A Go-Fund Me has been established for final expenses.
