Gary Wayne Davis

July 16, 1958 - April 15, 2019

Gary Wayne Davis, 60, passed away on April 15, 2019 peacefully in hospice care after a long battle of heart failure. A resident of Bexar County, Gary was born to Roberta and Robert Davis on July 16, 1958. He was a loving father to Lawren and Bruce Davis and devoted husband to Susan Davis.

Gary was a United States Navy Veteran of Desert Storm with his career on the U.S.S. Tripoli as a Fire Control Technician. He served in the navy for 5 years, receiving awards such as the National Defense Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and the Combat Action Ribbon.

After obtaining his Bachelors in Business Administration, Gary had a number of management positions and then decided to set a new course in his life by received training in the military. Later he joined the United States Postal Service as a Electronic Technician from 1996 to 2015.

As a member of the Helotes Independent Baptist church, Gary had a strong relationship with the Lord. He was a spiritual leader in his home as well as in the hospital, and was a good character witness. He is survived by his loving wife Susan and close family including; daughter Lawren and son Bruce, mother Roberta Davis and brothers Bill and David Davis, and mother and father-in-law Larry and Charlotte Lawrence. Even on his deathbed he held his beliefs in the Lord Jesus Christ true to the end.

On February 13, 2019, Gary was admitted to the Methodist Hospital in San Antonio for the last time. It was discovered that he had an infection in his blood and near his heart. After 5 surgeries and 2 months in the hospital, Gary decided to request hospice care to relieve his pain and suffering.

We would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Methodist for their sincere efforts and professional care that went above and beyond our expectations. They genuinely cared about Gary’s recovery and quality of life. Not only did they treat Gary like family but they included his wife and children in their care too.

Susan, Lawren and Bruce would not have made it this far without the prayers, thoughts and support of our friends and family. We appreciate the time you all have put in to care for us through this trying time.
