J. Ervin Davis

John Ervin Davis, our beloved Husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather passed away Saturday, March 11, 2017 at the age of 90, surrounded by family.

He was the 8th child of William Lloyd and Martha White Davis and was born in Reese, Utah. He was educated in Weber county schools and continued to educate himself in numerous fields of knowledge.

Ervin married his sweetheart, VeLayne Bachman, on February 22, 1947. They recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

Ervin was employed in the heating and air conditioning business and was an excellent sheet metal craftsman. During this time, he also worked hard on the family farm, which was homesteaded by his grandfather, making improvements, raising cattle, crops and children. His favorite pastime was working the ground on his tractor and it was said of him that the farm ran through his veins like blood. His family was his richest blessing.

He is survived by his beloved wife and children: Eldon (Susan) Davis, Brent (Jody) Davis, Neil (Pat) Davis, Celia (Mike) Green and Russell (Tina) Davis, 21 grandchildren, 54 great grandchildren.

We will miss his life lessons, keen mind, friendship and guidance.
