He was born to Ted and Rhita Napier in Atlanta, Ga on November 29, 1983. His family returned to Oregon when he was a young child and he attended Sisters schools starting in kindergarten and graduating from Sisters High School in 2002. Travis loved spending time at the family beach shack and his love of the ocean led him to a career as a professional seaman. He trained for two years at Tongue Point in Astoria to obtain his certifications. He aspired to be a first mate and was working on his sea- time hours to achieve this. Travis9 passions in life were music, travel and lit- erature. He lived his life through these passions. At a young age he discovered the guitar and was a naturally gifted guitarist. His high school years were spent playing in garage bands, the school9s Americana Project and jazz band. In addition to playing music he also enjoyed attending con- certs and discovering new artists. He traveled at any opportunity that arose, vis- iting numerous countries in both Europe and South America as well as Hong Kong and Guatemala, where he intended on spending some of his time off. Some of his travels also included cherished fish- ing trips with his dad to Alaska, another pastime he enjoyed. Since childhood Travis was a voracious reader; it would be rare to find him without several books at hand. In recent years, Mylon Lee Buck, M.D., died peacefully at home in Redmond on March 1. He was 88 years old. The first child born to John and Othel McAdams Buck in Arbyrd, Missouri, on August 17, 1932, Dr. Buck graduated from high school in Leachville, Arkansas, where he excelled academically and physically, playing center on the basketball team and winning medals as a discus thrower and shot-putter on the track team. He attended undergraduate school at the University of Missouri, Columbia, where he contin- ued to excel in track and field. He then attended Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Missouri, obtaining his M.D. in 1958. Dr. Buck came to Eugene for his internship at Sacred Heart Hospital, after which, in 1962, he built the Fairfield Medical Clinic in the Bethel District of Eugene, where he established a practice along with his brother Dr. David Buck and others. Later, when the specialty of family medicine was recognized in Oregon, Dr. Buck passed that examination. Dr. Buck also he became an uncle and reveled in this new role, always bringing his niece and nephew books so they would grow up sharing his love of reading. Travis is survived by his mother, Rhita; sister, Stephanie Aguirre; brother- in-law, Joppe Aguirre; his niece and nephew, Aviana and Mateo; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will forever miss his humor, enthusiasm, and compassion.
