Billy Wayne Davis

Billy Wayne Davis

On January 25, 2022, God called one of his greatest home. Billy Wayne Davis was born June 22, 1939, in Clanton Alabama and died surrounded by the people that loved him the most, his wife and two daughters in Ponderosa Nursing home in Dekalb, Tx. 

How to describe Bill Davis takes a lot of words and emotion. He was a man of few words unless he had a good story to tell, but more importantly were his many acts of kindness that he bestowed unselfishly. He was an extraordinaire of all things handy. He could replace an engine, an air conditioning unit -  even things like restoring old tractors and homes. He was a master craftsman of labor but a soul craftsman of love. He was born to Lonzie Davis and Mary Frances Hill in dismal means, raised in an orphanage until he left for the Army at 16.  He grew into a man that not only loved the world but wanted to change it.  He went to the army at a young age. In his service to the United States Government, he served in intelligence where he acquired the skill that would provide for his family for years to come. He was an artist, a musician, and a humanitarian. He loved his family above all else. 

He is proceeded in death by his mother: Mary Francis Hill, his father Lonzie Davis, brother Robert Davis and granddaughter Maci Stevens along with other brothers, sisters, and friends.
