James Travis Trammell, age 70, went home to be with his Lord and savior on February 1, 2021.
James Travis Trammell was born on September 30, 1950 in Fort Worth, TX to his parents James and Doris Trammell. He was the 1st of 5 children and was always teased by his siblings to be the favorite.
Travis, as he was known to be by friends and family, had the gift of music. He had such a powerful singing voice that was filled with such passion and conviction that you were often moved to tears and would get chills all over. Many remember him singing in a group that sang at Christmas time for over 30 years and would say “it’s not Christmas until I hear them sing ‘I Have Seen the Light’”. We rejoice that he has joined the heavenly angel’s choir and has seen the light. He is praising his Savior and fellowshipping with those who have gone before him, including his father who passed in July of 2020.
Travis retired from Lockheed in 2014 after 27 years. Upon retirement, he threw himself into truly doing what he loved, spending time with his family. His most favorite pastimes were spending time with “his people”, talking of his Lord, and listening to music.
He was the best son, husband, brother, father, and grandfather anyone could ever hope to have. He was someone who loved everyone just as they were and accepted them in an unconditional way that he rarely met a stranger. His legacy is unmatched and will be tough to follow, but those he touched in life will remember it and we hope will pass it on. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his father, James; his uncle, Orlando; and aunt, Vonnie; and many others he cherished in his life.
Travis is survived by his wife, Helen Trammell; son, Brandon Trammell and his wife, Michelle; and daughter, Jamye Trammell; mother, Doris Trammell; sister, Donella Swartz and her husband, Steve; brother, Doyle Trammell and his wife, Cindy; sisters Danna Curtis and her husband, Derick, and Denise and her husband, Ted; three grandchildren Stephen, Sarah, and Seth; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews he loved very much.
Walk straight into the arms of your Savior and He will say, “well done good and faithful servant, well done.”
