Bascom was born in Shamrock, Texas on April 5, 1949, to Mary Louise (Brawley) and Wesley Brooks Sims.  He graduated from Tascosa High School and Amarillo College.  He married the love of his life, Debbie Benton, in 1972 and they were married 51 wonderful years.  They loved to travel and watch football where they hardly ever rooted for the same team.  He was a big Alabama football fan and loved to get phone calls to harass his nieces and nephews with the Alabama fight song as his ringtone. Bascom worked for Walmart for 30 years where he retired as District Manager and was respected by many colleagues. He loved to play golf and enjoyed spending time with his golfing buddies. Most recently, he started attending the men’s bible study group from Paramount and he loved reading and studying his bible. Bascom was an only child but immediately acquired numerous sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews when he married Debbie.  He was a Rock for Peggy, Kathe, Kim, Ethan, and Hogan and will be missed beyond measure. Bascom was known to be reserved and quiet at times, but that mind was churning and soon he would play a joke or scare somebody just for a laugh.

Here’s to you Woody—ROLL TIDE!

He was preceded in death by his mother; father; aunts, Pearl Johnson, Marie Reeves; and uncles, Van Brawley, Jack Brawley, Pete Brawley, and Leonard Brawley.

He is survived by Debbie, his devoted wife; Sophie Grace, their four-legged fur baby; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
