Mr. David W. Davis' Obituary
David Wayne Davis (Dave Walks-As-Bear) was a man of character, beloved by many. Born on March 9, 1957, in Muskegon, Michigan, to Mary Lee Berger and Herschel R. Davis, he was a Kispoko Shawnee Indian. In 1976, he married his best friend, Maureen Therese Halloran, and remained happily married until his passing on August 22, 2014. He graduated with degrees from Muskegon Community College (A.A.) and West Shore Community College (A.D.C.J.). Recent years were spent as the owner and operator of Environmental Wildland Patrol, a private game warden and security service, and as the author of mystery fiction. He served honorably in the United States Coast Guard Reserve for 21 years. He enjoyed nature, reading, old cars, country drives, and woodworking, but his greatest joys in life were being a husband and father. Survivors include his wife, Maureen; his son, David W. Davis II; daughters, Constance Davis, Cindy Beth (Caleb) Davis-Dykema, Rebecca Davis, and Sabryna Davis. A MEMORIAL SERVICE will be held on Wednesday, August 27, at 11:00am at Oak Crest Church of God, 1540 Leonard, Muskegon, with Mrs. Fran Threadgill and Pastor Robert Rogers officiating. Visitation with the family will be one hour prior. Memorial contributions can be made in David’s name to the Crystal Valley Care Fund, P.O. Box 451, Hart, MI 49420 or online at www.cffmc.org
