Travis Lee Black

Travis Lee Black, age 40, of Highfalls, passed away due to heart attack on Sunday evening January 5, 2025.

Born April 29, 1984, in Waco Texas but soon came home to North Carolina. He was the son of Lydia and David Conard and the late Robert L. Black.

After graduating from Pinecrest High School he served in the US Marine Corps. He trained as a tank recovery mechanic in the Marines which led to opportunities and employment in farm services.

Cattle farming became a hobby that turned into a business, Southern Grace Farms. He enjoyed learning about cattle production and providing grass feed beef. Work was a word he understood, and his business grew. He was recently voted in as the President of the Moore County Cattleman's Association for a second term.

He loved being around family and friends and was always on call. He frequently stopped to help stranded motorists, making new friends. He was a good all around loving and selfless man.

Travis is survived by his parents, Lydia and David Conard, Uncles Michael Williams (Dot), Scott Williams (Mary Catherine), Aunts Cynthia W. Leach, Melody W. Connor (Bruce), Lisa W. Alexander and many many cousins.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents Foster and Dorothy Williams and uncle Tony Connor.

The service will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 1:00 pm at Bensalem Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 2891 Bensalem Church Rd., Eagle Springs, NC, with a reception following in the church fellowship hall.
