Donald Lynn Davis
November 14, 1942 - May 19, 2020
Don Davis passed away on May 19, 2020 with his wife Beth and
daughter Debbie by his side. He was born on 11/14/1942. He was raised and grew up
with his brother Bob and sister Jeanette (Sheets) in the early lemon grove days
of Upland. He often told great stories of life in the citrus groves and industry.
He worked for Fruehauf Trailers, Upland Lemon Growers Association, and then went
into partnership with his late son Don Jr., at Agricultural Chemicals Marketing.
Don had a passion for cars, building a 1923 T-Bucket Roadster
and a 1934 Ford. He was an avid NASCAR fan. He spent most of his weekends at home
with his family either in the garage woodworking or outside doing yard work. Don's
special gift for our family were the grandfather clocks, gun cabinets, bird houses,
cradles and toy boxes he built that will be passed on for generations. He was a
wonderful husband, a great father and a kind and patient man
Don is survived by his wife of 57 years, Beth and his daughter
Debbie Davis of Upland, CA and numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews and friends
that will miss Don's kindness and gentle nature.
