He loved golf, Sudoku, playing games, being outdoors, fishing, being on the lake and being with family. He had a way of making everyone laugh even when we shouldn’t. His life was not perfect; he overcame a lot of obstacles and the ones he did not overcome, he wished he had. He was a larger than life strong man with lots of pride. He loved his wife and his children and grandchildren and the rest of his family and his friends the best he could. Don was preceded in death by his father, Franklin Davis and his mother Emily Davis; and his brother, John Davis. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Hass Davis; his son , Brant Davis and his wife Desiree Davis, and their children Ross and Carli; his daughter Elizabeth Davis Didlake and her husband Billy and their children Ben and Mason; his sister Nanci Perilloux and her husband Charles ( their children and grandchildren); and Darla Davis Maynard and her husband Bill ( their children and grandchildren); His nieces and nephews: Stacy Parks (Jeremy), Christie McMillan (Sean), Chris Davis (Caroline), Aimee Tschiffely (Chauncey), Patricia Vaughn (Eric) , Maygan Howard (Alex), Will Maynard, Matthew Maynard; and great nieces and nephews; step children: Tara Winchester (Danny).
