George B. Davis

George B. Davis, USMC (Ret.), age 63, of New Braunfels, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2026. He was born May 4, 1962, in Roswell, New Mexico, to the late Charlie and Annie Mae (Bowman) Davis. From an early age, George loved sports, which sparked a lifelong appreciation for teamwork, competition, and mentorship.

George graduated from Roswell High School in 1981 and went on to attend the New Mexico Military Institute. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and retired after 24 years of service. During his time in the military, he completed multiple deployments, including service in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Throughout his career, George exemplified a strong sense of duty, leadership, and unwavering commitment to those he served alongside.

Following his retirement from the Marine Corps, George and his family settled in San Antonio, Texas, where they lived for several years before eventually relocating to Appleton, Wisconsin. While in Appleton, he proudly served as a school bus driver for Lamers Bus Lines. George was deeply loved and respected by “his kids” and he took great pride in safely transporting them to and from school each day while forming meaningful connections with the families he served.

In his free time, George volunteered as a youth coach with Appleton West Youth, dedicating his time to baseball, basketball, and football. He was a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan and proud shareholder, attending games at Lambeau Field whenever possible and never missing a televised game.

He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Suzanne (Shorey) Davis; his children, Jordan Penny (Keaton) and Trevor Davis; his grandchildren, Jace Penny and Reece Penny; his brothers, Charles Davis (Sylvia) and Kevin Davis; and his sister, Susann Davis. He is also survived by many beloved in-laws, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charlie and Annie Mae Davis, his sister, Nancy Davis and his fellow Marines who did not make it home, those he never forgot.

George will be remembered for his service, his generosity, and his ability to listen—always making others feel heard and valued.

“Semper Fi and Go Pack Go.”

Graveside services and interment with military honors will be held Friday, May 1, 2026, at 1:15 p.m. at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.
