John Rodney Davis, better known as JR, was born January 24, 1944 in Piqua, Ohio to John L. and Ermal Davis. He transitioned from this life peacefully in his sleep the morning of Wednesday, July 24, 2019 at the young age of 75.
JR met and married Jo Ellen Blanke Davis in Ohio in 1967. After losing one child days after birth and having a healthy second child, they moved from Ohio to New Bern, North Carolina in 1982.
He touched many lives throughout his lifetime and even though he was gruff, deep down he was a gentle and caring soul. He was preceded in death by his parents, John L. and Ermal Davis, his wife, Jo Ellen Blanke Davis, his son, Brian Davis, and his two sisters Dixie McGonagle and Sandie Leas. He is survived by his son, Philip A. Davis, and wife Tami, of New Bern, NC, his grandson Andrew J. Davis (A.J.), and numerous nieces and nephews.
