TRAVIS EUGENE BOLLIER, was born in Ireland, Texas, December 13, 1928 and entered the presence of heaven, January 28, 2006. He is survived by Zelma Wallace Bollier, his loving wife of 58 years.
He is also survived by his three daughters and their families, Gloria and Glen McClour, Shirley and Ernie Hall, Marilyn and Mark Nesbit; grandchildren Shannon (Kennon) Garms, Edward (Cindy) McClour; Trent Hall; great-grandchildren Preston McClour and Megan Garms; brothers, Allen, Bob, Bill, Wesley, Odell and Henry Bollier.
He was preceded in death by grandchildren, Matthew and Meredith Nesbit; parents, R.C. and Ida Overcash Bollier and brother, Jimmy Bollier. Travis was a man whose life exemplified hard, honest work and serving others. As the eldest of 8 brothers, much of his early life was spent working with his family in various farming endeavors in Texas. He was a United States Air Force veteran, serving from 1945 to 1949 receiving an honorable discharge.
Travis then served in the City of Dallas Fire Department for 25 years, retiring in January of 1979. The last 27 years have found him farming and ranching, selling real estate, and traveling with Zelma and their friends and family to interesting locations all over the United States. Travis loved being a part of the lives of his family. He and Zelma were always proud and supportive of their three daughters' accomplishments. His daughters were the apples of his eye, and though he might argue about being tied around their fingers, he knew it was true and loved them for it. He welcomed three sons-in-law into the family with open arms, and made them feel like his own sons. His grandchildren had a special place in his heart. He spent countless hours building play houses, repairing go-carts and attending sports, drill team and band events. He used his carpentry skills to make each of them special pieces of furniture that will remind them of him all of their lives. And he spent time with each of them, sharing his quiet wisdom about responsibility, happiness and life.
Travis also loved serving his God through the local church. He was baptized in 1966, and after many faithful years was ordained as a deacon in 1983. His special calling was using his talents in carpentry and construction to assist his local church. No matter where he and Zelma lived, the church they attended always knew that Travis could be counted on to pitch in wholeheartedly. Whether it was turning the heater on at 5:30 in the morning, replacing windows, or helping build pews for the sanctuary, Travis was the man you could count on. Even the neighbors knew and respected "Mr. Travis" for his servants heart They could set their clocks by his early morning walks And whether it was asking for help to build a work shed, or repairing the chain on a young person's bike, Mr. Travis was the man to see. He never saw the need to retire from serving anyone who needed a helping hand, a good meal, or a safe, quiet place to worship the Lord.
