Travis Blake Everett

Travis Blake Everett, known to all as Travis or Pawpaw, the man who could fix a carburetor as easily as he could reel in a stubborn bass, has left the garage for the last time. Born on December 1, 1961, in Lubbock, Texas, he embarked on his final road trip on May 16, 2025, in Kingsland, Texas,
His journey through life was marked by an unwavering commitment to his family, including his beloved wife, Monica, his brother Charles, sister Kellye and his brother Micheal who left the stage earlier, his sons Foster and Taylor, his daughters Amanda and Hayley. His playful spirit resonates in the laughter of his grandchildren, Waymon, Jaxton, Jessie, and Lorelei, who were the spark plugs of his life igniting joy with every visit.
His favorite pet, Thor, who was often found riding shotgun in Travis's truck or waiting patiently for the next fish to be reeled in, predeceased him and was likely waiting to greet him with a wagging tail on the other side.
Describing Travis is easy: handy, passionate, and friendly. He could fix anything except a bad haircut, and even then, he'd make you laugh about it. He was the kind of guy who could listen to a car's engine and tell you its life story. When he wasn't elbow-deep in a motor, Travis could be found with a fishing rod in hand, humming along to some good rock 'n' roll. Travis lived a life as full and vibrant as the gardens he tended. He was a man who could cultivate laughter in the driest of soils and who believed that a day without a chuckle was a day wasted. His departure leaves behind a world a little less bright, but the memories he created will continue to light up the lives of those who knew him. He was a staunch supporter of Trump and could often be found debating politics with anyone brave enough to challenge him.
As we bid farewell to Travis Blake Everett, let us honor his memory by living as he did-with hearts wide open, hands ready to help, and spirits unafraid to embark on the grand adventure of life. His story does not end here, for his influence will continue to ripple through the lives he touched, and his memory will be cherished forever.
So, let's not say goodbye to Travis. Instead, let's rev our engines, cast our lines, and crank up the volume on our favorite rock anthems. Let's live as he did-with kindness, humor, and a touch of mischief. After all, as Travis would say, "Life's too short to drive boring cars or fish in dull lakes."
We will be having a celebration of life for Travis Everett at Lakeside Heights Pavilion (down RR 2545) (follow signs for park 2) on Sunday June 8th between 1pm-3pm. We would like to invite all of you to join us as we celebrate the life of such a wonderful man.
