Douglas Davis Obituary
LIMA -- Douglas H. "Doug" Davis, age 81, went home to his Lord and Savior on Thursday, May 26, 2022, while surrounded by his loving family in Lima at his residence.
He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Janet "Jan" (Miller) Davis; his daughter Tamara Sue Rhoad; his son Douglas Carl Davis and was preceded in death by his daughter Carmen Renee Davis. Also surviving are his six grandchildren Kyle Rhoad, Jonathon (Kim) Rhoad, Carla Rhoad, Amanda Rhoad, Andrew (Krista) Rhoad and Kody (Hayla) Davis, as well as five great-grandchildren Emree, Elias, Ezra, Ella and Zion.
Doug was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

In life Doug thoroughly loved and enjoyed his family. Most days he could be found on the golf course or driving his Mustang, while listening to Southern Gospel music.
Doug's Christian faith and sharing his passion and love for the Lord with others was an essential part of his life. He founded "Harps & Strings", a musical instruments and singing group that ministered and performed for many nursing homes, events and churches.
