October 20, 1932 - March 2, 2023
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Davis in Vernon, B.C. Predeceased by his parents IT (Buck) & Muriel Davis & stepmom Edith Davis, brother Tom Davis & sister Lila Owen and in April 2011-his wife (our Mother) Teresa (Terry) Davis. Survived by his 6 children, Debbie (Kelly) Kellogg (Edmonton), Donna Davis (Courtenay), Dan Davis (Hixon), Judy Doyle (Prince George), Don (Yvonne) Davis (Prince George) and Daryl (Ella) Davis (Vernon) plus too many grandchildren to name.
Our father was born in Vernon, B.C. and moved to Vancouver as a teenager looking for work. He joined the Canadian Air Force in December 1952 as an Air Frame Technician & later became a Radar Technician. In 1954, while stationed in North Bay, Ont he met his future wife (our Mother). In the military, we were stationed all across Canada and our parents finally made the decision to retire in 1976 while stationed at Baldy Hughes, just outside Prince George where most of the family lives today. After leaving the military life behind him, our father worked for a couple of years at B.C. Gov't Liquor stores and then he and Mom decided to move back to Vernon to be close to his family.
Our Father was known for his love of military life which included the Avro Arrow/CF 100 Canuck.
The family would like to thank Dr. Mori as well as the staff at Creekside Landing Long Term Care Home where he spent the last 5 months of his life, after suffering a stroke. We can't forget his coffee & doughnut buddy-Earl Skerritt who was especially dear to him in his final months.
By his request there was no service and any donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
