Mark Davis, 69, of Salem, passed away at his home on Tuesday March 17th, 2026. He was born in Centralia to Oliver and Carol (Tate) Davis on June 10th, 1956.

Mark was a hardworking man, shown by working at Egyptian Concrete (County Materials) for almost 40 years. He loved going fishing and rooting on the St. Louis Cardinals. After retiring, he loved taking care of his mower and doing lawn care. He was a very sweet and simple man that was very family oriented, especially toward his two grandchildren that he adored.
