Roger L. Davis' Obituary
Mr. Roger L. Davis, age 80, of Grand Haven passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2024. He was born September 12, 1943, in San Francisco, CA. On July 16, 1994, he married Pat Lowe in the desert of Borrego Springs, CA.
Roger served his country in the US Air Force as a Staff Weather Officer (SWO) at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. He graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. He enjoyed long term employment with several companies including American Seating, and ODL,Inc where he finished his career as West Coast Operations manager in San Marcos, CA. What made his eyes light up was to hear about his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids lives. He was very interested in the smallest of details. He would be your biggest encourager and cheer you on. He and his wife took great joy in finding the perfect gift for each family member, spoiling us during the holidays. And not to forget, Roger and his best Bud, Bruce Liefer, founded the “Stupid Talk Boyz Club” which took place weekly at Clover Bar. He was an avid collector of many things and loved spending his summer Saturdays at car shows including support for Cars for Cancer each year.
He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Pat; his three children: Lisa (John) Prominski, Mike (Amy) Davis, Matt (Brenda) Davis; nine grandchildren: Cory (Kayla) Prominski, Colin (Kaitlyn) Prominski, Carson (Ryann) Prominski, Luke, and Blake Davis, Kennedi (Adam) Javed, AJ (Fiancée, Danielle) Davis, Baron, and Nylah Davis; siblings: Linda (Tom) Boven, Kathy Sugar, and Steve Siewert; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Siewert; and sister, Sue Fierros.
