Charles Everett Davis II

January 17, 1958 – May 10, 2025

Charles Everett “Chip” Davis II was born on January 17, 1958 to Charles and Ruth

Davis. The eldest of four children, he was a “chip off the ol’ block”—energetic, sharp-witted, and

strong-willed. Chip spent his childhood in Auburn, CA playing baseball with friends, helping out

in his family’s pool hall, and pushing all the boundaries. The family later relocated to Salem, OR

where Chip graduated from Sprague in 1976.

In 1978, Chip married Susan Mucha, and together they welcomed two daughters, Jessica

Brooke and Leslie Ann. In 1993, he married Dolly, and the family grew with the arrival of

Samantha Grace and Charles Everett Davis III. A proud father of four, Chip loved his children

deeply and considered them his life’s greatest accomplishment.

Baseball wasn’t just a pastime—it was a passion. Chip played in recreational leagues as a

young adult and later dedicated many years to the local little league while coaching and

supporting his youngest daughter, Sam, and son, Charlie.

Later in life, Chip returned to his roots as the manager of a local pool hall, where he was

known for his no-nonsense management style, quick humor, and welcoming presence—so long

as you played by the rules. In 2019, he retired to his personal paradise—his tree-lined home

backing up to a peaceful pond—where he lived with his wife, Barbara. In true Chip fashion, he

ran for public office in 2020 after recognizing the need for stronger senior representation.

Chip will be remembered for his sharp sense of humor, his gift for making others feel like

the most important person in the room, and his enduring love of aviators, Pepsi, and signature

classic white Nike “dad” shoes.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara; his children, Jessica, Leslie, Samantha, and Charles

III; fifteen grandchildren; his sister, Sheri; and his brothers, Scott and Jeff. He is reunited in

death with his parents, Charles and Ruth. His children loved him dearly and take great comfort in

knowing they will see him again in heaven.
