Joe Davila, IV

He was the first born to Joe Davila III and Blanche Panatex Davila. He was affectionately known as “JoJo”, “YoYo” to his mother, relatives, and close friends. Joe started working with his dad and the family business, AAA Glass while in high school. Following graduation from South San High School class of 1974 he went to work full time with the family.

Joe eventually ran his own glass shop on Military Dr. for many years. He was an avid bowler, having almost gone professional. Interestingly, he wrote right-handed and bowled and shot pool left-handed. Joe had a keen passion for music, quoting movie lines and dancing. He enjoyed going to Fiesta events, Las Vegas, and New Orleans.

Joe was a hard worker, a dedicated family man and had a heart of gold. He always put his children and family before himself.

He was preceded in death by his father, Joe Davila III.

Joe is survived by his three children, Nickolas Louis Valdez (Margie Vasquez), Melissa Blanche Davila (Carlos Angueira), and Joe Louis Davila V (Dayana Galindo); their mother, O’Linda King; grandchildren, Trinity Faith Valdez, Serenity Hope Valdez, baby Chevy Tex Davila and baby Cole Bexar Davila Angueira (arrived, Thursday, Aug 3, 2023); mother, Blanche Panatex Davila; siblings, Richard Davila, Margie Davila and Rudy Davila; companions, Teri Davila and Betty Manzello; numerous nieces and nephews, extended family and many, many close friends.

The family asks those attending to wear green and blue, as these were the colors which brought out the hazel and green in Joe’s eyes.
