On Monday, April 27th, our friend and coworker Travis Knudson suffered a sudden heart attack on his way to a job site here in Panama City Beach. His helper rushed him to the ER, and he was later life-flighted to Fort Walton Beach for urgent care.

Travis is in his 30s and, like many hardworking people, does not have health insurance. He has already been dealing with ongoing back issues and medical expenses over the past few months, and this unexpected emergency has only added to that burden.

Travis is one of our installers and a valued part of our local flooring community. He is known for being kind, reliable, and someone who genuinely connects with everyone he meets—customers and coworkers alike. If you’ve met him, you know how much people appreciate him.

He doesn’t have much family nearby other than his brother Tyler, so we’re coming together as a community to support him during this difficult time.

We are raising funds to help cover his medical bills and living expenses while he focuses on recovery. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Thank you for supporting Travis and helping him get back on his feet.
