Monday, June 22, 2020

Gerald Joseph Davis, age 82, resident of Fort Scott, Kan., died Friday, June 19, 2020, at his home. He was born Nov. 21, 1937, in Farmington, Minn., the son of Lawrence Edward and Rose Louise Tutewohl Davis. He served in the U.S. Airforce and Airforce Reserve. He married Mary Kathleen Matney on June 17, 1961, in Albuquerque, N.M. His main hobby was his family; it was the most important thing to him. He taught his kids horseback riding, water skiing, fishing, construction, and cooking. His adage was work hard and play harder. After sending all the kids to college, his greatest accomplishment, he obtained his GED in 1994. Education was a top priority for him. He was a very generous man, compassionate, giving, and a loving father. He was always willing to help and put others needs before his own. He helped many in the community and supported those in need. Gerald never let his family down, made sure all were at church every Sunday and expected them to have high moral values. His optimistic and constantly positive attitude will be greatly missed. He leaves behind a great legacy. He was a member of V.F.W. Post No. 1165, Knights of Columbus, Local Watershed District No. 2, and Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church. He was a big supporter of Tri-Valley and a recipient of the Presidents Volunteer Service Award.
