Gary E. Davis, age 79, of Bryan, Ohio, passed away on Monday, Sept. 29, 2025 at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Gary worked in shipping at Chase Brass and retired in 2009 with 37 years of service to the company. He was an avid NASCAR and racing fan. He enjoyed scenic drives with his wife, Joan.

Gary E. Davis was born on Sept. 6, 1946, in Edgerton, Ohio, the son of Robert B. and Bernetta Jane (Hudkins) Davis. Gary was a 1965 graduate of Bryan High School. He married Joan K. Stevens on Nov. 8, 1975, in Bryan and she survives.
Gary is also survived by his sons, Andy (Amber) Davis of West Unity and Art (Samantha) Davis of Amherst, Ohio; 12 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; sister, Valerie Welker of Bryan; and sister-in-law, Connie Davis of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was preceded in death by his parents; sons, Tony Davis and Gary Davis; daughter-in-law, Amber Davis; brothers, Robert (Jean) Davis, Jim (Kelly) Davis and Linden Davis.
