Travis Bailey Obituary
Travis was born on October 26, 1936 to Eura D. Bailey and James A. Bailey in the Wolf Valley Community. After graduating from May High School, he joined the 'Plumbers, Pipefitters & Service Tech. Union' in 1955 and was a member for 70 years and was the owner of 'Brownwood Mechanical Contractors' for 44 yrs. Travis married Von Dell Dillard March 7, 1958 and they were married for 67 years.
Travis loved to hunt and fish in younger years and in his later years, enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids. He was an especially loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather and always had a smile on his face for everyone. Travis was a man of few words but was a great listener.

Travis will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him until we are all once again reunited in the Kingdom of Heaven.
