Travis Earl Chestnutt, 67, of Rose Hill passed away peacefully on Monday, September 2, 2024, at Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

He was born on October 6, 1956, in Duplin County; the son of the late Edward and Eloise Register Chestnutt.

Travis attended Rose Hill Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church.

Surviving is the love of his life and wife of 48 years Faye Walker Chestnutt of the home; his son and daughter-in-law Brandon and Jennifer Chestnutt of Rose Hill; his grandbabies Emma Marie Chestnutt and Bryleigh Kate Chestnutt; mother-in-law, Mary Walker of Penderlea; sisters-in-law  Annette Walker of Penderlea and Betty Walker Sullivan and husband Virgil of Leland; his only niece Dawn McCumbee and her son Matthew of Wilmington; numerous extended family and friends that loved Travis dearly.

Travis was a devoted husband and caring father and grandfather.  He was a simple man who enjoyed the simplest things in life, but his greatest joy was his family, especially his grandbabies, Emma Marie and Bryleigh Kate, whom he worshipped.  Being a hard worker, Travis was a great provider for his family; always making sure they had what they needed.  Travis loved everyone he met. He loved his community, Rose Hill Volunteer Fire Department and his church family.  Travis was a fighter.  Throughout his life he suffered much but he never let the pain overtake him.  Travis will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
