Frank Weston Davis

June 1, 1946 – January 21, 2026

I expect to pass through this world but once; therefore, any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show anyone, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.

An Amazing Life

Frank Weston Davis, an Army veteran with 22 years and 4 months of service, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and mentor, peacefully entered eternal rest on January 21, 2026, at the age of 79. Frank shared 60 loving years of marriage with his devoted wife, Edith. Together, they built a strong foundation rooted in love and family. He was a proud and dedicated father to his children and a loving grandfather whose grandchildren were a constant source of joy and pride.

Frank honorably served his country in the United States Army. His military service reflected a life of discipline, dedication, and integrity—principles he carried with him long after his service ended.

After retiring, Frank continued to serve his community as a ROTC instructor for 20 years, mentoring students and shaping the next generation of leaders. Through his guidance, encouragement, and leadership, he positively impacted countless young lives and instilled in them the values of discipline, responsibility, and service.

In his personal time, Frank was active and hardworking, running his own lawn care business, while also enjoying gardening, growing vegetables, and spending peaceful days fishing with his friend and former student James Brandon. These activities reflected his patience, love for nature, and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.
