No cause of death was listed. Visitation will take place on Tuesday (Oct. 11) at 6PM at Marshville's Morgan & Son Funeral Home, with the funeral coming the following day. On Sunday (Oct. 16) Travis is scheduled to be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He was announced as the class of 2016 (along with Charlie Daniels and Fred Foster) in March.
