From the time Brandon and I were first learning how to spell our names clear into collage we would spend countless hours by one another's side. It was during these moments I had the privilege to get to know my uncle Travis as if I was his very son. The time spent under his roof I noticed how personally involved he would be in what Brandon and I were experiencing as we were growing into men. I was over there all the time it seemed. I always remember seeing how loving he was to his wife, my aunt Helen. He loved singing with her while she would play the piano in the house. He loved sharing in the zeal for the Lord Brandon and I first had when we rededicated our lives to Christ. He would love driving us out to the record store to find good Christian music for all of us to listen to together. Music was his love and it became mine and Brandon's as well as we both would end up working together at a music store and later formed a Christian band together. Travis didn't have a love for earthly possessions or small talk about the weather or even politics for that matter. His focus was on the things above and spiritual matters that were eternal. Looking back at it now I know I know it was his example through the years that left an impression on Brandon and I to be bold for Christ and not care what others thought, said or even would do to us. I remember it was at his very house where Brandon and I would start sharing the gospel of the saving power of Christ with people from our collage. He was so excited to hear when one of those individuals who was a Satanist became a believer. Travis never stopped opening his door to people like that either. It wasn't until recent that I learned that all the way to his last days he would continue to open his home up to strangers in hopes to minister to them and provide what financial support he could. Many of us know how much Travis and I would debate so heavily on deep theological issues. I truly met my match when it came to someone who fervently held such rich passion and conviction. But one thing Travis always knew how to outdo me on was showing grace in the face of conflict. At the end of our debates I would even find myself a bit frustrated at how relaxed he was. It almost came across as a piest, mocking manner. But I knew better. I knew that was not him at all. Instead his heart was always so humble before men. In fact, he would open up and share with Brandon and I on multiple occasions some of the most demoralizing stories of himself in hopes we might would learn from his mistakes. The stories this man could tell, and with such passion. I would say he truly learned in life the importance and joy found in building relationships with his fellow man. We live in a time were we find ourselves surrounded and tempted to fall into a self-centered and anti-social way of life. Many are falling into fear. Fear to speak out against sin, afraid of social shaming or loosing ones job even. This is breaking down the very family unit and soulwinning environment God intended for us to have. So I will end this with a prayer. A prayer that we will always be in remembrance of how our beloved Travis flew in the face of that entrapment and fear. He went against the flow and rebelled against this world. That is what made him always stand out in a crowd and it's what will make him be dearly remembered and missed by us all. May we live with passion and purpose and may the peace of our heavenly Father rest in your hearts now and forevermore, Amen.

Travis was my Sunday school teacher years ago when I was in high school. The lessons that he taught have stuck with me over the years, but it was his genuinely kind and gentle spirit that have had even more of an impact on my life. I feel blessed to have known him. Our prayers are with Helen, Brandon, and Jayme. Scott, AnnMarie, and Josie Williams

Dear Trammell Family, My family and I wish to extend our greatest sympathy to you. Travis was a man of great integrity and always had a word of encouragement to offer. I will miss our Sunday visits in between services. I am so happy to have known him and will miss his mighty voice - especially, at Christmas. Much love to Helen, Jamye, and Brandon, Love, Kelley and Peyton Cobb
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
