Jamie Ray Travis

Jamie Ray Travis, age 54, of Knoxville, TN passed away Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.  

Jamie was a member of New Victory Baptist Church, 923 W Baxter Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37921.  He was a loving and devoted husband, a proud and caring father and a cherished Pappy whose heart knew no limits.  He loved deeply and freely and everything he did in life was guided by his desire to care for others.  Family meant everything to him and he showed that love not only through his words, but through his actions each and every day.  He never met a stranger.  He was always lighting up the room with his presence, smile and laughter.  While his kindness defined him, he was never afraid to speak his mind or stand firm in his beliefs, always expressing himself with honesty and conviction.  His presence brought warmth, laughter and strength to those around him and his legacy of love, loyalty and authenticity will live on in the lives he touched.  He had so many hobbies throughout his life from building cars, trucks, racing rc cars, riding side by sides, going to car shows, gardening and going on vacations with his wife, kids and grandkids.  Jamie loved life and the family, friends and co-workers that were in his life.  He will be deeply missed but always loved by many.
