Gordon Davis Obituary
He is preceded in death by his parents Jessie and Sidney Davis, and brother Ronald Davis.
Gordon's childhood dream came true when he graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine where he learned the science and biology of animal medicine. He moved to Okotoks and helped to open a veterinary clinic, and practiced for 47 years.
Gordon was passionate about helping friends, especially while telling jokes from the back of a horse. He did not pass up an opportunity to sort and brand calves.
He enjoyed many things, including fishing, horseback riding, cowboy poetry, country music, woodworking, playing cards, reading family history, collecting books, and most importantly, his family.
A heartfelt thanks go to the nurses and doctors of Alberta Health Services, and to the friends and family who made his journey comfortable and joyful.
A celebration of Gordon's life will be held Wednesday, May 15, 2019 at

Many a good chats were had at Okotoks Shell and other areas around town. Gord was always happy and full of conversation.

I was fortunate to have visited cousin Gord, with my cousin Ed Davis, for several days prior to his passing. He was bright, funny and showed more concern for others than himself.
Gord loved the extended Davis family, and I remember the many hours Gord and his Uncle Ralph (my father) spent sitting by the fireplace, enjoying a rum & coke, and talking about the history of the Davis clan, as well as all of the characters and individuals from the original Davis homestead near Etzikom.
You'll be missed, buddy.

Gord will be missed. He stood as a kind and loving man, always ready to laugh and bring comfort. I will always remember the smile. Each time we met through the years, it seemed only yesterday separated the distances. The last time I saw Gord at a branding I said, We'll see you next year. His response, Let's keep our fingers crossed. I did not know there wouldn't be a next year. My heart goes out to the family. A really good guy left with much more to be done and an aching void left behind. Ron Clarke, WCVM 70
