Travis Eugene McBurnett

McBURNETT, Travis Eugene, 33, of Rome, GA passed away on Monday, February 20, 2017. A native of Marietta, he attended Sprayberry High School and Cobb Adult Education. He loved all of nature and shared his mother’s love of horses and their care. He loved to work with his hands and his interest varied from artwork and tattooing to welding, landscaping, construction, automotive and mechanical work to fishing, camping and canoeing to football and body building. His true love and heart was time spent with his children. Although his life was short, he put a lot of living into a short amount of time. Like many young men, he made his mistakes, but he was quick with an “I’m sorry.” He was a grateful son and friend to many. We miss you already. Good bye, Trav.

He is preceded in death by his father, Wm Paul McBurnett. He is survived by his mother, Genie Wilkerson Eplin; step father, Don W. Eplin; son, Tristin James McBurnett; daughter, Brianna Joyce McBurnett; brother, Ryan Paul McBurnett; nieces, Kalyn “Rylee” McBurnett and Sara Isabella McBurnett.
