On February 24, 2010 a faithful husband, loving father, amazing grandpa/great grandpa and great friend went to meet our Savior, Jesus Christ. Retired SSG Jesus L. Davila was born in San Antonio, TX on June 21, 1942 to Mr. Jose M. Davila and Mrs. Maria Lopez (both preceded in death). He has one younger brother, Adam Torres of San Antonio, TX. On August 16, 1969, he married the love of his life, Elena Valenzuela. He is survived by his 8 children, Jesse (Irene) Davila, Carmen Davila (preceded in death), Annette (Fred) Navarro, Nancy (Jose) Martinez, Richard Galindo, Michael (Melissa) Galindo, Cindy (James) Biggerstaff, Jesse Joe (Charity) Davila and Roger (Johanna) Davila. He raised their children to know and love the Lord with all their hearts. He has 27 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He served 29 yrs with the 149th Military Police Army Reserve unit, served 15+ yrs at Long Horn Cement plant, served 15 yrs as a NEISD school bus driver and the last several yrs as a janitorial service business owner. He was a devout follower of Jesus Christ and over the years has served in various Christian ministries, but he most loved welcoming people to MacArthur Park Church of Christ. He enjoyed watching the Longhorns, Texans and the Spurs. Although, the last several years had been difficult, you would always find him relying on God.
