Kevin D. Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 12, 2005.
When his soldiers returned from a mission, Kevin Davis always made sure they had something hot to eat. "He was an example of what a noncommissioned officer should be," said his roommate in Iraq, Staff Sgt. Jessie Scharder. "His nature was to take care of people." Davis, 40, of Lebanon, Ore., was killed April 8 after his Humvee was hit by a roadside bomb in Hawijah, Iraq. He was based in Redmond, Ore. Davis, a 14-year veteran of the National Guard, worked at a juvenile detention center and was a reserve officer with the Lebanon Police Department. He wanted to become a full-time officer when he returned from Iraq. The father of three loved helping children and was an avid fisherman and softball player who spent much of his spare time studying the Bible. His wife, Robbin Davis, said almost every photo she received of her husband was of him with Iraqi children. He was fulfilled by his efforts in Iraq to help build a school. "I got a letter home that said, `Now I know what this is about. Now I know why I'm here,'" she said.

To the family and friends of Kevin.
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Kevin, but he is my hero.

As the Army Chaplain said as we all stood in solemn attention, "SSG Davis is man of broad stature - broad shoulders, a broad smile, and a broad heart..." What beautiful and uplifting words from his daughter Laurynn as she looks forward to seeing her BROAD SOUL of a Dad once again. Kevin Davis continues to lead us to victory!

As I gathered around people that I truly call brothers in a beautiful park in a small town called Lebanon. None of us could believe a year had passed since that crazy day... So much was said around that circle with never a word spoken. A glance, a nod, and hugs.
If you know Kevin, you know if he had to pick a seat that day, he would have picked that one.
Sgt. Stuart and I will tell ya, the eggs were really bad that day!
We miss you brother,

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Hi everyone-
I am Staff Sgt. Kevin Davis's daughter... wow have the past two years past... but the way I look at it, is that God has reason for everything, and God needed my dad, but we will once see him again. We need to play it day by day... even though we all miss him so much.. he was a great Dad and still is!! He lives among all of us, and as I said we will see him again.

In Remembrance of this Fine Young Soldier, Staff Sgt. Kevin D. Davis, with so much gratitude for his Courage, Dedication and Many Years of Service not only to our Country and for Freedom, but for his unselfish public service in his community.

May Kevin, rest safely in God's Care and know that he is a True American hero, that shall Never Be Forgotten.

There will Never Be Enough Ways, to Humbly Thank these Young Heroes, for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.

"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."
Revelations 21:4


May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Remembers Kevin's sacrifice.
I am So Deeply Sorry for your loss.

Man, old memories coming back. Served in Beirut and Central America from 81-85. When the chips are down, look up at the sky. There is a higher power. Life is too fragile and complicated to have just evolved. Stay strong. You will meet him again ;)
