A Passion for Life
Born in LaGrange, Georgia, Artis was the beloved son of Annie P.

He walked his journey with God, finding strength in his beliefs and sharing that faith with others.  Artis truly believed in education and self-improvement, after he graduated from Wadley High School, he attained degrees from Southern Union State Community College and West Georgia Technical College.

He thrived in roles that allowed him to solve problems, mentor others, and contribute meaningfully. His colleagues remember him as a steady hand, a reliable leader, and a man who took pride in doing things right.  Artis was a man of many talents and passions.

A Legacy of Faith and Strength
Artis began his heavenly journey on Saturday morning, March 15, 2025.  He was preceded in death by his father, Calvin Trammell, Sr. and several uncles and aunts.  Friends and family will remember Artis not just for his skills, but for his laughter, his wisdom, and the way he could fix anything—not just with his hands, but with his heart. He had an uncanny ability to listen, to offer advice without judgment, and to be there when it mattered most. His impact was felt not just in what he built, but in the lives he touched.
