A celebration of life for Mackey Wayne Davis, born on November 25, 1946, in Gurdon, AR, passed away on November 21, 2006, after a courageous fight against cancer.
Mack grew up in Gurdon, Arkansas and graduated from Gurdon High School in 1964. He then went to college at Northeastern Oklahoma State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, before moving to Santa Barbara, California, and attended UCSB. While attending UCSB, Mack became interested in woodwork. As the arts and crafts industry grew, Mack became fully engaged in the the arts and crafts world. He started his own business that was to become his life's work, "Mack Davis Woodwork".
Mack met his future wife, Suzanne, in Santa Barbara, where they married in 1978. They moved to Auburn in 1989, where Mack continued his woodworking and Suzanne became a teacher at Ophir Elementary School. Mack loved traveling, hiking, spending time with his family and friends.
He is survived by his loving wife, Suzanne, his daughter's; Jessica Jagger and Colleen Davis, his son-in-law, Brian Jagger, and his grandchildren; Kayla and Lindsey Jagger.
Appreciation is extended to the family, friends, hospice and the community now and during his fight against cancer.
He left too soon and he will be missed by everyone whose life he touched. He will forever be in our hearts. Mack never met a stranger.
A celebration of Mack's life is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 9th, at The Gathering Place, 3137 Taylor Road, Loomis, CA.

Suzanne, Jessica and Brian, and Colleen,
We were so sorry to hear about Mack's illness and passing. You are all in our prayers. My words seem so inadequate. I wish there was something we could say or do to make it better, but I know there really isn't. Just know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the guest book, daddy left us too soon, and a legacy behind that will be carried on by my sister and I, and our mother. Thanks to everyone's prayers and amazing support. We are taking this day by day, and hour by hour, we miss him more every single day.

Suzanne,
My deepest sympathies. I wish I could say something more meaningful and more powerful than, I’m very sorry for your loss of your husband, and your husband’s loss of his life with you.
If there’s any small thing that I or other Ophir parents can do, to make your coming time easier, please let us know.
Even for adults, it is extremely hard to know what to say to support a griever. If your fifth-graders don’t express their support in the way that would feel best to you, please advise the parents, and we will gently educate them, hopefully, to both your benefit and theirs.
Mary Stockwell, Ann's mom
