MAC DAVIS Obituary

MAC DAVIS Claude McClayton "Mac" Davis Jr., 66, of Henderson, passed away Sept. 8, 2012 from natural causes. He is survived by his son, Clayton M. Davis of Texas; daughter, Emily J. Davis-York of New York; brother, Charles M. Davis of Pocatello, Idaho; and sister, Bettye L. Roberts of Las Vegas. Mac was born in Sheffield, Ala. and grew up in Henderson. He attended Basic High School and was a graduate of Idaho State University, majoring in architecture. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and horseback riding. He was a true cowboy at heart and always felt he was born 100 years too late, but his true passion was restoring vintage automobiles. He will be missed by all those who knew and loved him. Memorial services will be announced at a later date.
