William Travis Brewer, age 85, of Russellville, passed away on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at his residence.
Travis was a humble man, not arrogant or prideful. He was always willing to give a helping hand when needed. He loved sweet tea, gardening, and trips with his family. Travis was a quiet man but his laughter was contagious. He was a loving husband to Myra, wonderful Christian example to his two daughters, two granddaughters, and great-grandson.
James 4:10 “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.” Travis Brewer was lifted up on Wednesday and when he heard our Lord say “enter in thy good and faithful servant.” There was his daughter, Saloane, with open arms welcoming him as well.
