Mr. Norman Lane Travis

Norman Lane Travis, 67 passed peacefully with dignity and grace into the Kingdom of Heaven on February 2, 2018 in Sherman, TX. He was a loving husband, father, bother, and friend to all he encountered and was loved by many. Norman was a CFO for Plyler Construction for nearly 30 years. He served as a Deacon for 10 years at First Baptist Church of Whitewright, TX. Norman enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, and relaxing at the lake.

He loved Jesus, his family, friends and his church.
