Britton Davis Obituary
Britton Evan Davis, 61, of Provo, Utah died of pancreatic cancer on December 4, 2014, passing peacefully in his home while surrounded by his family. He was born to Donald Evan and Clara Janice Davis in Flagstaff, Arizona on November 8, 1953. Britton will forever be remembered for his love of the Savior, his family, and music.
Britton served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Japan Kobe Mission. He married Christine Lee Hansen for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on August 23, 1977. He served faithfully in the Church throughout his life and especially loved working with the youth and in the Provo Temple. He dearly loved Jesus Christ. His consistent, lifelong example of faith, obedience, and service leaves a legacy that inspires family and friends.

He was involved with the Utah Valley Youth Symphony for nearly 40 years, serving as Conductor, Artistic Director, and member of the Board of Directors. He also performed with the Utah Valley Symphony as timpanist for 20 years. The impact of his musical career has benefited his family, the community, and thousands of students. His influence will be felt for generations.
Britton is survived by his wife, Christine and their four children: Devin (Jill) Davis, Melissa (Joel) Staheli, Brian (Lauren) Davis, and Carrie (Taft) Johnson. He and Christine have 10 beautiful grandchildren, all of whom had a special bond with their Grandpa.

To the Davis Family,
My name is Paul Raffensparger. I was a string bass player in Mr. Davis' orchestra while I was in Junior High at Canyon View.
I was deeply saddened to find out that he had passed away.
I will forever be grateful for his service and amazing example to me. His lessons of music and of life will forever stay with me. He influenced my life on so many different levels. His life lessons will forever make a difference in my life and those of my family to come.
My condolences and eternal gratitude for allowing him to be a part of my life forever.

Christine,
I had no idea about Britton's cancer and was shocked to hear about his passing. Britton (Mr. Davis) made such an impact on my life and who I have become. I treasure his love and patience with me in Junior High and in Youth Symphony. I am so sad to hear of your loss. Please know of my deep love for both of you. You made such a difference in my life. I love you both.
