TRAVIS WAYLON S

Travis Waylon Schley, 44, of Cuero, Texas, passed away on July 10, 2025, in De-Witt County. A devoted husband, proud father, hardworking provider, and loyal friend, Travis lived a life rooted in faith, family, and the land he loved.
Born on November 24, 1980, in Cuero to Bobby and Bonnie Schley, Travis was raised with strong values and a deep appreciation for honest labor and rural life. He graduated from Cuero High School and then earned his Associate's Degree from Navarro Junior College. Travis built a respected career as a meter technician with Gulf Coast Measuring Services. He was the proud owner of Weser Ag Service. Known throughout the region for his exceptional fence-building skills, Travis was in high demand— not only for the quality of his work, but for the character and integrity he brought to every job.
On August 9, 2008, Travis married the love of his life, Kristen Adamek, in Yoakum, Texas. Together, they built a beautiful life centered around their greatest blessings— their two sons, Tucker Waylon and Cooper James. Whether hunting, fishing, working cattle, or building fence with his boys by his side, Travis cherished every moment with them. He found joy and purpose in teaching them the values he held most dear: loyalty, humility, respect, and a steadfast work ethic.
Travis was a very active and proud member of the Meyersville Knights of Columbus and loved to cook for their meetings and events.
Travis will be remembered as a man of few words but great wisdom— steady in his beliefs, firm in his convictions, and unwavering in his love for his family. His legacy lives on in Tucker and Cooper and in the countless lives he touched through his friendship, faith, and quiet leadership.
He is survived by his wife, Kristen Adamek Schley; sons, Tucker and Cooper Schley; parents, Bobby and Bonnie Schley of Cuero; in-laws, Ronald and Maurine Adamek of Yoakum; sister, Sheila Ohrt (Tommy); brother, B. Schley (Denise); aunts, JoNell Martin and Pam Long; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Elwood and Lucille Gisler, and Carl and Hilda Schley.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. with a rosary by Deacon Dennis Kutach to begin at 5:30 PM at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Meyersville, Texas, where Travis and his family were faithful members. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, also at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church with Father Richard Bediako and Father Jacob Mendoza officiating.
Pallbearers include Neal Moritz, Shawn Diebel, John Braden, Kris Kifer, Clint Ohrt, Josh Pohler, Kenneth Schley, John Sager and Matt Knippa.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to an education fund for Tucker and Cooper Schley at Crossroads Bank in Yoakum, Texas.
Though his time with us was far too short, Travis leaves behind a legacy of love, honor, and quiet strength. He will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
