Born on April 28, 1920, to the late Grover and Annie Gwynn Davis, and was married for 67 years to the late Vivian Nabors Davis who passed away in 2006. My Dad served in World War II and was stationed in Japan. He worked close to 50 years in textiles and retired from Deering Milliken. He was of the Baptist faith; and before his decline in health, he attended First Baptist Church in Haw River. My Dad was a gentle man who loved his family. He loved to work in his garden and to hunt and fish. He got such pleasure sitting in a fishing boat with his fishing line in the water. He was a great family man who took over providing for his mom and sisters in his early teens after the death of his father. He worked hard and provided us with a wonderful home. He is survived by his daughter, Patricia (Patsy) Davis Rohrer; grandchildren, Rich Rohrer and wife Tammy, Joey Rohrer and wife Vicki, Kevin Rohrer and wife Carey; great-grandchildren, Amber, Jordan, Wesley, Drew, Payce, and Koen; great great-grandchildren Kenzie, Natalie and Sopphia. He is also survived by many special nephews, nieces, and brothers and sisters in law. Beside his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his son, Floyd Keith Davis; his sisters, Alice Hellams, Olivia Craig, and Mary Davis. A graveside service will be held at Forest Lawn Cemetery on Monday, February 20, 2017 at 11:00 am. The family will receive friends at the cemetery immediately following the graveside service. The family would like to give the staff at White Oaks of Burlington and Hospice of Alamance/Caswell a special "Thanks" for the care and comfort they gave Daddy in his last weeks of life.
