Ward Member - Glen M Davis Obituary
Glenn Maxwell Davis
Sep 04, 1932 - Feb 27, 2016
Our beloved father, brother, uncle, and grandfather Glenn Maxwell Davis, age 83, passed away February 27th, 2016 at the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, UT from complications caused by multiple myeloma cancer.
Glenn was born September 4th, 1932 in Mohrland, Utah to LeRoy Payton Davis and Ruth Helen Rons. He grew up in the central Utah mining community of Hiawatha where he first developed his love of the great outdoors. He enjoyed sports, especially baseball, and was an avid fisherman, hunter, and camper throughout his life. After four years active duty in the US Navy (1951-1955), Glenn attended Utah State University graduating in 1960 with a degree in Biology. He went to work for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources where he was employed for 34 years as a fisheries biologist.
In 1967, Glenn married Dawn Joan Allred, a beautiful schoolteacher from Grantsville, UT who was working in Price. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake City temple in 1976. They made their home together in Granger (West Valley City) until Joan’s untimely death in 2005.
As a father, Glenn set an example of integrity and hard work. He provided financial support and emotional encouragement to his children as they pursued their interests—whether in music, sports, cosmetology training, higher education, or starting a business. He also transmitted a love of nature to the many Boy Scouts he mentored and to his family.
Upon retiring from the “Fish and Game,” Glenn spent much of his time camping, fishing, gardening, caring for his numerous fruit trees, canning peaches and tomatoes, and cooking special Dutch-oven dinners for the family. He maintained ties with several Hiawatha friends living in the Salt Lake City area and looked forward to regular breakfasts with them. He also served for five years as an ordinance worker in the Jordan River Temple.
Preceded in death by his wife Joan Allred Davis, his brother LeRoy Conrad Davis (killed in action, 1943) and his sisters Hazel Marie and Fern Stella. Survived by his sister Faun Cole of Douglas, WY, his brother Gary Davis of Albuquerque, NM; his four children Daniel, Timothy (Fumi), Anthony (Nicole), and Amanda; six grandchildren; one great-grandson; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 11:00 am at the LDS chapel located at 3150 W. Whitehall Dr. (3985 S.) in West Valley City, UT with a viewing 1 hour prior to services. Friends may attend an additional viewing Friday, March 4th from 6-8 pm at the McDougal Funeral Home (4330 Redwood Rd). Interment will take place at Valley View Memorial Park.
