Travis Connolly Obituary

Travis Connolly WEST ASHLEY - Travis Robert Connolly, 41, of West Ashley, SC, passed away unexpectedly on August 20, 2025. A beloved son, brother, and friend, Travis will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, Dennis Connolly and Evelyn (Bill) Owens; his brother, Jason (Jessica) Connolly; and many cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Robert and Barbara Connolly (paternal), E.P. and Jane Vereen, and Jackie Boulware (maternal), all of whom he remembered with deep love and affection. Travis had a deep love for the water and animals, but his most cherished companion was his beloved dog, Summer, who brought him constant joy. From a young age, he found joy in being outdoors - whether surfing at the beach, fishing from a boat, or spending time with animals. His entrepreneurial spirit was evident early on, starting with mowing lawns for spending money and continuing with weekend landscaping work alongside his full-time job. Travis was always building something, often pouring his energy into small businesses and most recently, his own venture, Travis Connolly - Natural Gas and Propane Services. Travis' memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, and in the many lives he touched with his kindness, creativity, and love for life. A memorial service to honor Travis's life will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Carolina Memorial Gardens, 7113 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM, followed by a memorial service at 11:00 AM, with burial to follow.
