Travis Lee Elliott passed away on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at the age of 85. He was born
on August 3, 1939 in Voca, Texas to Leroy and Lora (Tuckness) Elliott. He married Jo
Retta Kincaid on December 19, 1958. The couple moved to Snyder in 1965 where Travis
worked for McDonald Welding and Jack Greene Welding. He opened his own
business, Elliott’s Welding, in 1975 and operated it until his retirement in 2005. Travis
loved taking his family, especially his grandchildren camping at Garner State Park each
summer. His grandchildren were the light of his life. He was so proud of all of their
accomplishments throughout their various activities and sports. PaPa was their biggest
fan.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of almost 67 years, Jo Retta; daughter
Rhonda Elliott Dacus of Snyder; son Ricky Elliott and wife Effie of Snyder; granddaughter
Kendra Groves of Snyder; grandsons Bryson Elliott of Roscoe and Austin Elliott of Abilene;
great-grandson Kyler Groves of Snyder; sisters Juanita Goff of Colorado City and Coleta
Squiers of Ingram; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers Charles Elliott and Delmo Elliott; and
sister Maeola Elliott Ramsey.
Travis was a great man who loved helping others in times of need. He was loved by so
many and will be missed tremendously, but his legacy will live on in each life that he
touched.
