Brett Alan Travis, 58, of Paducah, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Baptist Health Hospital in Paducah.

Brett was a graduate of Crittenden County High School, Class of 1985. Brett was a faithful man who loved the Lord with all his heart; he was born again in 1999 and is a member of Heartland Church in Paducah.
Brett spent 40 years selling cars, combining his gift for conversation with his appreciation for classic automobiles. He loved his Seay Motors family, where he was a sales manager for many years. He especially loved his boss, Larry Joe Seay, who took him to Nashville to his appointments and not only provided financially, but he was also a true friend to Brett.
