Travis Kimbrough-Sanders

Travis Kimbrough-Sanders was a Denver man whose life touched family, friends and neighbors before it ended far too soon. Identified by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner as 34 years old at the time of his death on September 22, 2015, Travis’s public record is limited, but what is clear is that he was a member of the Five Points/Cole neighborhood community where he lived and spent time.

Public reporting from the days after his passing notes that Travis was one of two adult men who died after gunfire at a neighborhood gas station and car wash near 35th Avenue and Downing Street. Beyond those facts, local reporting observed that Travis did not leave a large online footprint, and so many of the personal details that make a life distinct—work, hobbies, close family relationships, and daily routines—are not widely recorded in public sources.

That scarcity of public information does not lessen the reality of the life that was lost. Even when documentary traces are few, every person carries memories, relationships and small acts of care that matter to those who loved them. For Travis, those who knew him in Denver would carry stories, images and private remembrances that public records do not capture.

This page honors Travis by acknowledging him as a person first: a 34-year-old neighbor and human being whose life had meaning beyond what was reported in the news. If you knew Travis and would like to add a memory, photo or detail that respectfully celebrates who he was, consider contributing those to a family-authorized memorial so his fuller story can be preserved for those who loved him.

References speak to verified facts—his name, age, and the date he died—while also reflecting the limits of what is publicly available. This remembrance is written with care and restraint to keep the focus on Travis’s humanity rather than the circumstances of his death.
