Dr. Travis James (Jim) Bledsoe, 63, died at home in Pensacola, FL on February 2, 2026. Jim was born September 1, 1962, in Pensacola, FL. He graduated from Tate High School in 1980. Jim was an army veteran who proudly served his country. He received his doctor's degree in holistic medicine and for many years, practiced holistic medicine in Pensacola and owned his own business.

Jim was a faithful member at Hillcrest Baptist Church where he served as Chairman of the Mission Leadership Team. As a faithful greeter, Jim took his role seriously. He was the first face many saw when they entered Hillcrest on Sunday morning, always lending a helping hand to the elderly and giving high-fives to all the children that passed through his door.

Jim was an avid world traveler and loved sharing with others about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At Hillcrest, Jim had led and served on teams for many mission trips in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America. He also served as the U.S. Representative for Word of Life Ecuador Ministries.

A Celebration of Life for Jim will be planned at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Word of Life Ministries, Ecuador or missions at Hillcrest Baptist Church.
