TR Woodward and Elvira
TR Woodward, 61, of Alpine passed away at his home with the “love of his life” Elvira, his dog, Friday, September 16, 2016.
Graveside memorial services are 11am Tuesday, September 27 in Elm Grove Cemetery, officiated by his cousin, Ernest L. Teague.
TR was born June 29, 1955 in Wiesbaden, Germany while his father was active Air Force. After graduating from Robert E. Lee High School in Midland in 1974 and attending Texas A&M University, TR worked as a draftsman with Dawson Geophysical and other oil companies in Midland and eventually found his dream vocation as a DJ, known by the names Kid or TR, for KBAT radio in Midland, where he resided growing up.
He retired to Alpine several years ago to be near family and continued researching and cataloging music, which became his life work and daily passion, building a library of notebooks and CDs that could fill a museum.
Survivors are his parents, Tommy and Katherine Woodward, originally from Alpine and recently moved from Midland to Alpine; two sisters, Ella Trumpfeller of College Station and Joyce Wood from Alpine; a very special niece, Ashleigh Occasso of Spring, Texas; and a very special “brother,” Mark A. Sanders.
May TR rest in peace now.
