The Life Reflections

of

Travis Don Buffington

Travis Don Buffington was born on April 28, 1954 in Rockwall, Texas to the parentage of John and Lottie Dee (McAlister) Buffington. 

Travis received his formal education at Bourn Ave School here in Rockwall, Texas.  

He accepted Christ as his Savior and united at Lake’s Chapel Church of God In Christ under the leadership of Elder George Lakes in Rockwall, Texas. He later united with Davis Chapel Church of God In Christ under the leadership of Elder Alvin Reeves in the city of Garland, Texas. 

Travis worked as a common laborer, working  different jobs here and there until he became disabled causing him not to work. 

He is preceded in death by his parents John and Lottie Buffington, two brothers; Lee Samuel, Charles, and one sister; Ethel Craig. 

He leaves to cherish his memory two sisters; Helen (George) Nix of Rowlett, TX, Virginia Wooten of Rockwall, TX, one aunt; Earline (Willie) Landrum of Los Angeles, CA, a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.  

The angels gathered near your bed 

So very close to you, 

For they knew the pain and suffering 

You were going through, 

We thought about so many things 

So we held so tightly to your hand 

Oh how we wished that you were strong 

And happy once again. 

But your eyes were looking homeward 

To that place beyond the sky, 

 Where Jesus was there waiting 

It was time to say good-bye. 

We struggled with our selfish thoughts 

For we wanted you to stay. 

So we could laugh and talk again 

Like we did just yesterday. 

But Jesus knew the answer 

And we knew he loved you so. 

So we gave to you life’s greatest gift. 

The gift of letting go.
