John was born October 5, 1936, to Lloyd Ernest and Sara Margaret (Morris) Davis in Norwood, CO. He spent his childhood in Norwood and graduated from Norwood High School in 1954. As a teenager he worked in the Locker for his father and on the Horace Joseph Ranch. John began his 35 year life career with the Colorado State Highway Department as a summer hire-on in Norwood, CO. During his career he lived in Eagle, Gunnison, and Montrose, finally settling in Olathe. He taught his children many things, including good work ethic, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, digging post holes etc. He would butcher deer and elk for friends (with his kid's help), on the barter system... he would get a quarter of the meat for butchering, so the family always had good meat for the table. Later he started raising chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigs and cattle, so his family was well fed. He participated in Boy Scout 50 mile hikes with his sons, was active in the local Rod and Gun Club where everyone learned good shooting skills. He would take the family out to cut a Christmas tree, and everyone would eat c-rations for lunch. (Per John's children) "He would take us kids hunting for rabbits, and when we were ready to head back, he would pick a kid and ask him to lead the way back to the truck. We were usually successful because he taught us to watch our back trail. It served two purposes... first to let us see what the trail back to the truck looked like, and second mule deer will sometimes get out of their bed and circle around behind you to return to their beds." John shot competitive pistol, taught hunter safety, was a member of Montrose Elk's #1053 for many years, and in later years became a member and Past Master of several Masonic Lodges, Norwood #111, Telluride #56, Delta #62, Olathe #157, and was a member of Black Hawk #11. He had the opportunity to announce rodeos several years. John helped many people over his life, was known for his quick wit, and sense of humor even in failing health. John was previously married to Linda Marie Swartz and of this union were four children. John later married Linda Joyce Scott from Cedaredge, CO. John was a devoted and loving husband, father, doting grandfather, and recently great-grandfather. John is survived by his wife, Linda J.; sons, Larry (Nancy); Kirk (Winnie); Scott, and daughter, Charlotte-Char (Michael); grandchildren, Alissa, Sienna, Adam, and Emma, and great-grandson, William James; brother, Wayne and sister, Norma.
