God gives good gifts… and on February 27, 1933 he blessed Frank
Travick and Ada Boyd Travick with a bouncing baby boy and they
named him James.

James grew up in the Greenwood Community and received his education
in the Chambers County School System. He confessed Christ at an early
age and joined Greenwood Baptist Church in Lanett, Alabama where he
served for many years as an ordained Deacon. Later, he united with Mt.
Nebo Baptist Church in Cusseta, Alabama.

He was an industrious person and worked many years for West Point
Pepperell Mills and as a very skilled auto mechanic. His hobbies included
fishing, hunting, watching sports, playing checkers, and singing.

He was preceded in death by: his parents, Frank Travick and Ada Travick;
his beloved wife of 60 plus years, Missouri Reese Travis; a son, Norbert
E. Travis; grandson, Jarvis Travis; great-grandsons, D’Martino Travis
and Quay Banks; six brothers, four sisters, six brothers-in-law, and two
sisters-in-law.

After a brief illness, God called him to receive his eternal reward on
Tuesday, January 30, 2024.

He leaves to cherish precious memories: his loving and devoted son, Jarvis
Keith (Dorothy) Travis, Lanett, AL; daughters, Sheila Lovelace, Stone
Mountain, GA, Joanne (Calvin) Williams, West Point, GA and Patricia
Crump, Opelika, AL; a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and
