JAMES DAVIES Obituary

JAMES DAVID DAVIES James David Davies, 82, Lenexa, KS passed away Feb. 19, 2018 at the Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. Visitation will be 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27, at Crossroads Christian Church, 5855 Renner Road, Shawnee, KS. Memorial service at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 1, in the Treetop Room, Southridge Tower, Lakeview Village 14001 W. 92nd St., Lenexa, KS. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions go to either Lakeview Village Foundation or Crossroads Christian Church. He was a former member and homeowner of Lake Quivira before moving to Lakeview Village. He was an avid golfer, reader, and tech "wizard." He loved traveling anywhere around the world and to all 50 states. Jim was born Sept. 9, 1935 in Pueblo, CO, to Herbert and Judith Davies. He was a 1953 graduate of Colorado Springs High School. Jim attended the University of Colorado, where he earned his BSEE in 1969. He was a veteran of the US Army. On April 15, 1961, Jim married Joan McLean of Lake Quivira, KS at the Shawnee Methodist Church, Shawnee, KS. Frequently called the Web Professor, Jim's career history included "low" and high tech sales and marketing jobs in Colorado, Houston, TX, Chicago, IL, Silicon Valley, CA, and Lake Quivira, KS. His love of teaching at DeAnza and West Valley CA Community Colleges was only surpassed by his volunteer computer assistance for Lakeview Village residents. Jim was preceded in death by his parents and son, John Thomas Davies in 1981. Survivors include his wife, Joan; two sons, Jim Davies, II, Tecumseh, KS and Mark (Anne) Davies, Colorado Springs, CO.

Was shocked to see this on the board at LQ today. So many great memories of Jim and his ever-present and infectious smile. I'm sure he's lighting up Heaven in his special way and starting a CU Buff club among the angels. So sorry, Joan.
