Grady "Butch" Travis, age 92, of Smyrna, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2025,

Barbara Travis; brothers, Tony, Barney, Joe, Tim, and Johnny Travis; and a sister, Ruby Lovvorn.

He is survived by his children, Terri Stone, Sheryl Miller, Kay Wells, and Todd Travis; and his devoted
grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Jerry Travis; a sister, Flora Mai Gunnells; and a
host of other loving family and friends.

Mr. Travis was a proud veteran of the Korean War. A carpenter by trade, he was known for his skill
and hard work. He was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who deeply loved his family. An
