Roger Davis Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Roger Wayne Davis, 87, passed away on Monday, October 27, 2025 at Firesteel Health and Rehab. Funeral services will be at 1:00 PM Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at Storla Lutheran Church, 24307 393rd Ave, Letcher, SD 57359. Visitation will begin one hour prior. Family burial will be in Trinity Lutheran Cemetery.

Roger was born on October 13, 1938 in Mitchell, SD to Jose and Audrey (Callison) Davis. Roger attended country school near Storla and high school in Mt. Vernon where he excelled in track and made life-long friends. He served with the National Guard from 1959 until 1964 and married JoAnn Peterson in Mitchell on December 14, 1963.

Roger spent much of his life farming, working with crops and cattle, and serving the Belford Township and Storla Lutheran Church. He wasn't a hunter but looked forward to pheasant season when the farm would be full of friends and family to enjoy his favorite things: visiting and playing Pinochle. Roger also loved sporting events, particularly watching the local teams, and attending all the kids' games. Roger enjoyed spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife, JoAnn, children; Chad (Annette) Davis, Heath (Jeanine) Davis, Calla (Jamie) Fischer, Sean (Marcie) Davis, grandchildren; Kayla, Brandon, Kenzie, Bentley, Hayes, and one sister, Marialyce (Jerry) Lenocker along with several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Lynn Davis.
