Travis passed away Thursday, November 21, 2024 with Martha by his side. He was born on March 1, 1951 at Mother Frances Hospital, in Tyler. Travis grew up in Chapel Hill and attended Chapel Hill ISD. He began his career with Texas Power & Light, in 1970, at the age of 19. That same year, he met Martha F. Rocha and they married on the day he received his first paycheck and spent fifty-four amazing years together. Travis worked for TP&L for 47 years. He retired from Oncor Electric at the age of 65.

Travis was preceded in death by his father, D.T. Davidson and mother, Veda Davidson; sister, Sue Mayo and his beloved dog, Bogie.

He is survived by his loving wife, Martha; daughter, Cherie Davidson-Ford, son-in law Ryan Ford of Troup; son, Casey E. Davidson, daughter in-law Chylon Davidson of Palestine; grandchildren, Lawson T. Barker, Mason A. Barker, Caroline Davidson, Clara Davidson; step-grandchildren, Cole and Reese Ford, and his dog, Rex "Bubba" Davidson.

Travis loved golf, fishing, playing cards, dominos or just about any game that would give him a reason to enjoy his family and friends. His passion was grilling out in his back yard and he could not wait for someone to come over to try out his fabulous meals, and share a drink with him.

His family was always his top priority. He built his family home in Elmwood, Texas where he raised his kids. They enjoyed campouts, raised quarter horses and had many trail rides with family and friends.

Honorary Pallbearers will be GW Colvin, Steve Freeman, Gary Moody, Mike Wade and Archie Warren.
