Mr. Davis owned and operated Davis Garage and worked in the towing and auto repair industry for over 55 years.  In 1972, Mr. Davis purchased the Old Union Train Station.  Through his visionary preservation, the historic building remained in use for many years and housed Davis Garage. Mr. Davis served as the state and local president of Independent Garage Owners as well as the Towing and Recovery Association, receiving Lifetime Achievement Awards from both organizations.  He passed on his work ethic to his children and he never deviated from it, working even up to the day of his stroke in 2016.  He found great joy in being a grandfather and for a number of years, flying his small Cessna Skylane.  He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church and volunteered with Contact Ministries for more than a decade.
