David Davis Obituary

Visit the William Slater II Funeral Service website to view the full obituary.

David passed away peacefully watching the sunset over the pond in his backyard surrounded by his wife and his daughters. David has gone to be with God, his parents, his father-in-law, and his dog, Buster.

As his initials would predict, David was the ultimate D.A.D. giving the best life to his two daughters and being the father figure for many nieces and nephews. David married the love of his life, Kelly, and spent 32 years being her prince charming.

David dedicated 32 years at UPS. After retiring from UPS, he spent the past 12 years at South Hills Country Club becoming one of the member’s favorite employees. He took pride in caring for his family and hosting parties at his home to share memories with his family and close friends.

David loved animals and rescued many cats and dogs from the streets of Mt Washington, Scott Township, and the Humane Society. He also cared deeply for the animals in his backyard and often fed apples to the neighborhood deer. The deer of Scott Township say they still miss him to this day.  

David was survived by his wife Kelly Davis; daughters Chelsea (Michael) Chizewick and Caitlin Davis (Bailey Underwood). Son of the late Patrick and Elizabeth Davis. Loving bother to Ralph (Denise) Davis, Patrick (Debra) Davis, Judy (Bill) Rotthoff, Edward Davis and Anna (Paul) Squilla. Son in Law to Jody and the late David McElhinny, Brother-in-Law to Bonnie McElhinny, Maureen (Fred) Minard and the late Dave McElhinny. Revered Uncle to many nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his fur baby Gracie. The family would like to extend a special thank you to AHN Cancer Institute in Robinson and AHN Hospice Service for all the special care that was given to him.
