Those family members who passed away previously; Floyd Davis; mother, Julia Allen Davis; step-mother, Hattie Allen Davis; brother, Alvin “Bunt” Davis; and sisters, Maxine “Boots” Davis Arango, and Betty Davis Young. Dad was born in the Prospect area of Blount County, May 10, 1922. He loved all sports, lettered in football his junior and senior years at Everett High School and was selected to the All East Tennessee team. Upon graduation from Everett in 1942 he refused an invitation to try out at the University of Georgia, instead deciding to play for the Fighting Scots football team of Maryville College. In September 1942, Dad enlisted in the U.S. Army and entered active duty in June 1943.

Decorations include the following: World War II Victory Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two bronze stars, and the Philippine Liberation Ribbon with one bronze star. Returning home as a WWII veteran, Dad completed a 2 year program at Knoxville Business College. This led to a 40 year career in the grocery business with Harley, Walt, and Bill Lyons. Throughout those 40 years he was a positive influence in the lives of numerous young people who worked for him as well as the community as a whole, having an instrumental role in coordinating the Lyons IGA sponsorship of the Eagleton Little League Dodgers. Dad leaves behind many who will miss him greatly, including his wife of 64 years, Lois Deane Davis; sisters, Mary Ruth Ball, Almeda “Pink” Helton, and Rhea Evelyn Patterson; sons and daughters-in-law, Alan and Donna Davis, Scott and Ann Davis, and Kent and Gloria Davis; daughters and sons-in-law, Mike and Yvonne Davis Outler, and Jon and Stacey Davis Nordquist; grandchildren, Ami Davis, Jon Davis, Emily Davis Cherry, wife of Steve Cherry, Allison Keller Reagan, wife of Jake Reagan, Megan Keller Brown, wife of Anthony Brown, Shane Davis, Brad Davis, Abby Davis, Sarah Nordquist and Katherine Nordquist; great-grandchildren, Hunter Brown, Jackson Cherry, and Lily Reagan.
