Claude Davis Obituary
Dec 26, 2025
Angola, Indiana - Claude Edward Davis M.D., 99, of Angola, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 26, 2025, at his home.
Claude was born on June 14, 1926, in New Albany, Indiana to Claude O. and Eva Mae (Brown) Davis. He graduated from New Albany High School in 1944. He graduated from the University of Louisville in September of 1947 and received his Doctor of Medicine in 1951. Claude completed his internship at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana.

Claude was proud to serve in the United States Army during WWII and was a Purple Heart Recipient.
Claude was known to many as Doc Davis, an impeccable surgeon who saved the lives of many. He was a noble veteran, a witty and smart mechanic, and even a pilot. He found a talent and passion for all that he tried. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, a kind grandfather, a respected great grandfather and to most everyone he met the true definition of a good and honest man. Claude was constant and steady in every storm and was a source of wisdom and carried a quiet love.
