Bill "Beef"
Traxler
Jan 22, 1953 — Feb 28, 2023
Bill "Beef" Traxler, 70, of Farmersville, Texas went to be with his Lord and Savior on February 28, 2023. Bill was born to Kathryn and Arthur Traxler on January 22, 1953 in Allegan, Michigan. He attended school there until moving to Texas in his twenties. Bill spent most of his time as a jack of all trades and a true Mr. Fix it. He was never known to read a set of directions; he just knew how it worked and could build or repair just about anything. The majority of his time working in Texas was at Saint Paul Medical Center as the Building Engineer in Dallas Texas until 1989. He then owned and operated On-Trax Auto works in Wilmer, Texas until 2003 when he sold the business. He then worked as a handyman remodeling homes, building decks and outdoor kitchens, just about any jobs to keep his hands busy until official retirement in 2021. His smile, presence and delivery of the greatest dad brother jokes will be missed greatly. His "you rang" phone greeting will be missed by all. Bill is survived by: Daughter, Kathy Hamilton and husband Derek Mayfield. Their children: Samantha and husband JD, Garrett, and Wyatt and their grandchildren Harlee and Jaydee. Son in Law Tim and wife Megan Rainey, his children Colt Rainey and wife Hailey, and their children, Aubrey and Gunner. Ashley Rainey and husband Andrew Villarreal, and their child Amison. Daughter, Margaret Corn and husband Dustin Scoggins. Their children: Cassidy Brentise, Micha Corn, and KC Corn and spouse James Burch. And their daughter, Charlotte James Burch. Sister, Sandra Traxler, and her children, Crisa Williams and husband Larry and Robert Traxler. Her grandchildren Jessica Jones and husband Kevin Brewster, Brittany Jones and Trey Williams. Her great grandchildren, JaiMarie Brewster, Kyndall Brewster, and Jace. Sister, Kathryn Mason her children Amy Traxler, and Brian and Jessica Cooper, Her grandchildren Kyra and Donovan Allison Neice, Tiffany Lantz and her children, Raymond, Mason and Ryder. Nephew, Chad Traxler, and his children, Beau and Paige. Bill is preceded in death by his daughter, Billie Jo Rainey; parents, Kathryn and Arthur; and brothers, Allen Traxler and Frederick Traxler. A family led memorial service will be held on Friday, March 3, 2023, at 1:00 pm at the Top Rail Cowboy Church located at 262 Horseman's Rd Greenville, TX 75401. No Visitation Friday, March 3, 2023
