Mr. Davis was born in 1941 in Washington, DC to Caroline and Dorland Davis. His upbringing in the nation's capital gave him a lifelong passion for politics and public service.

After graduating with a BA from Cornell University, he served three years in the US Army, rising to the rank of captain. In 1966-67 he was assigned to Vietnam as a forward observer for the Fifth Artillery of the First Infantry Division.
He earned a PhD from Johns Hopkins in 1971, and subsequently joined the faculty of Rutgers University, the Cornell University and the University of Wyoming. He also worked for the federal government at the EPA and Library of Congress Congressional Research Service. During the Carter Administration he held a political appointment at the Department of Interior. In 2009 he served asa Fulbright Professor at Nanjing University in China.
David was a long-time resident of Old Orchard where he ran and bicycled almost daily in Ottawa park. He was a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, where he sang in the choir, and a former coach for the Toledo Youth Soccer Association.
He is survived by his two children, Gregory and Jillian, and his sister, Constance Dillman.
Funeral services were held on Friday, May 3, 2019 at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Internment at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Lansing, Michigan. Tributes in David's memory may be directed to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 2770 Central Ave., Toledo, Ohio, 43606.
