Born with a twin, Barry Lynn, Gary Don Davis was the son of Alex Russell and Mary Frances Free Davis. He married Eva Sherline Gillespie Ellis on 3/18/1976. He was father to Terri Kay Ellis Davis, Gary Adam Davis and Alex William Davis.
Very dry-witted, Gary enjoyed life. He was tender-hearted, although wanting to appear as rough. You didn't fool us, Gary!
Gary was a Navy veteran, joining right after high school. He played football in high school along with his brother, Barry.
Gary was killed in an industrial accident at Lone Star Industries in Maryneal, just seven years after his twin's death.
We all still miss you, Gary. (Your sis-in-law, Janie)
