Travis Dale Melin, 41, of Ely, MN passed over to God on May 6, 2015 at St. Luke’s Hospice in Duluth.

 

Growing up in the woods of Hermantown, Travis loved nature and the outdoors. Through photography he knew he had a gift from God to express what he saw. Travis courageously took the road less travelled and followed his passion as a professional nature photographer. His art was amazing. His work was his prayer. An outpouring of love from the Duluth art community is a testament to his talent and artistic spirit.

 

Travis enjoyed campfires with friends, playing catch with his dogs Zoe and Cedar, and building Star Wars Lego sets with his son. He was a gentle man with a good heart. We loved Travis’s laugh and humor.

 

Travis is survived by parents Gary and Karen; brother Dustin (Holly); nephew Jake and niece Haley. Also his much loved family Christa and Ann and son Brooks, as well as partner Tracy, ‘step-daughter’ Carly, best friends Dan and Eric, and a very large and loving group of relatives.

 

A Celebration of Travis’s Life will be 11:00 am, Saturday, May 30 at Grace Lutheran Church in Hermantown. Services by Affordable Cremation & Burial, 218-491-7011, affordableduluth.com. Enjoy Travis’s art on his website, travismelinimages.com.
