Travais Galbraith Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Travis Stephen Archie Galbraith, who drowned in the Willow River. He was born on, May 18, 1981 and died on May 18, 2024, his 43rd birthday. He will be missed more than he could ever have imagined.
Travis was born in Smithers BC to Randy Galbraith and Doreen Fowler, and grew up mostly in Smithers, Houston, and Prince George. While living in Prince George, he met Sharon Neufeld in February 2004. They married, four years later, on May 3, 2008. Two very special sons were born to them—Gabriel, who is now 18, and Ryder who is 14.
Travis began his MMA career in 2001 and fought until 2010. During those 9 years he fought 28 times, losing only 7 times. At one point he held two Canadian titles in two different weight classes simultaneously —the Middleweight Champion and Light Heavyweight Champion.
In 2005, he (and Sharon) moved to Edmonton so that he could pursue his training under full sponsorship. His trainer was Shara Vigeant and his sponsor was Ken Hesse’s company BHD Tubular in Edmonton. Both Gabriel and Ryder, were born in Edmonton.
He received his coveted black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in March of 2018 under Professor Kyle Cardinal. At the time of his passing, he had already received his second-degree black belt.
Even while he was training and travelling for his fighting career, he supported himself and his family with carpentry which he started when he was 18 years old. He went on to operate his own company in Edmonton from 2009-2016 called Midnight Ryder Contracting. He had a passion for building and became sought after because his work was second-to-none.
In 2016, he and his family moved back to Prince George where he continued self-employment as a framer, and, at times, worked for a few different framing companies, although he did like to work alone.
In 2017, he started taking an interest in hunting. After only two years in this new pursuit, it seemed he had almost mastered it, with success hunting bison, elk, moose, deer, bear and even mountain goat. Not one season went by that he did not fill at least one of his tags. His passion for hunting turned into a long-range shooting hobby as well, and even with this, he worked diligently to become the best. He could shoot 1000 yards with precision.
Upon being urged by friends, he started his own Jiu-Jitsu school called «Galbraith Jiu-Jitsu» in 2018. This was a passion of his and he wanted to pass on everything he knew to better the lives of others.
He was loved and appreciated by many, though he struggled to understand why others looked up to him so much. The respect he earned may well be attributed to his generosity, humor and passion for excellence in whatever he did.
Travis will be deeply missed by his wife Sharon, his sons, Gabriel and Ryder, his father Randy Galbraith, his mother Doreen Fowler, his brother Jody Fowler, his nephew Lukas Galbraith, and many members of Sharon’s family. (He was predeceased by his brother Matthew Galbraith on Jan 27, 2024.)
A “Celebration of Life” will be held at the Prince George Civic Centre on Friday, June 21, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Refreshments to follow.
