"There are those who never lend a hand, those who do so when asked, and a very few like Travis, who extended his before you could even think to ask. Much like his beloved mother, Travis tried to make life better for those around him. He did this in many ways and I'm certain everyone has their own stories. He made my life better by simply being around. I only knew him for five years, but I enjoyed every minute we shared. He was a mixture of southern charm, keen intelligence, and a loving heart. He was curious, driven, and funny. I see it all in the picture on this site and in the memories I will keep of him. I think he'd be touched by the outpouring of love that's been expressed not only here, but in so many other places and between so many people. I think he'd also be slightly embarrassed by it. He gave of himself so freely and with no expectations of anything in return. Now we all want to thank him, to try to pay back some of the happiness he gave to us. He'd probably shrug that off, tell us it was okay, that it was his pleasure. He'd be wrong, though. It was ours. "
In loving memory of
Travis Coulter
February 4, 1976 - December 16, 2017
MADISON/LITTLE ROCK- Travis Michael Coulter, 41, of Little Rock Arkansas, passed away December 15, 2017. He was the son of Wayman Coulter, deceased, and is survived by his mother, Tracy Schroepfer, his uncles Terry (Connie) and Ted Schroepfer (Teresa), his cousins Matt, Chris, Tim, Tiffany and Tori, and many loving friends.
Travis was a gifted young man both professionally and personally. He was the proud owner of his own successful business Tailor Made Promotions. He loved the hands-on work the business required, as well as the interactions with his customers and workers. Travis was very intelligent and sought to absorb as much information about anything and everything. He loved technology, music, documentaries, trying new foods and traveling. Most importantly, though, Travis was generous, kind, and caring, and loyal to those he loved. He was gifted at building and maintaining relationships, as evidenced by the many lifelong friendships he had. He always looked out for others, particularly when he knew they were struggling. Travis loved his mother deeply and that love was returned a hundred fold. For the many, many people who loved him, the world will be a sadder place.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
A memorial service will be held at 10 am on December 26, 2017 at the Little Rock Funeral Home, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Please share your memories of Travis.

"You were an unstoppable force in my life from the moment we met when you walked into my apartment like you owned the place and sat down to declare that we were going to be friends. We became so much more than that. From that night forward, most nights you could be found sitting on my couch and it wasn't long until we began telling everyone we were siblings. It was true, in our hearts if not our biology and our shared birthday and close proximity led to so many amazing memories. I remember how sad I was when you left for New York but that led directly to the most amazing birthday week we ever had when we visited you in New Orleans. I will cherish the memories of that trip for the rest of my life. We had some tough times and I am so grateful we got through them. I am so very proud of all you have accomplished these last few years and so heartbroken that Jaxon will never meet you. I know how excited you were for Tim and I. I already miss you terribly and so wish I could hug you one last time. I love you so much brother. Rest in love, Shannon "
