Gary Davis Obituary
Mike was always one to stand out in a crowd. Not only because of the things he said or his eccentric outfits, but more often than not he would be remembered for his crazy hairstyles. He was a loving son and a devoted father, to both his daughter and his canine, best friend, Buddy. His favorite place to be was in the desert of Skull Valley, working on the land and interacting with all of his animals. Mike has passed away, unexpectedly, from injuries sustained in a tractor accident, while doing what he loved in the desert.
Mike was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Miriam and Gary Davis. Survived by his daughter, Ronda, his three sisters: Shauna, Brenda, Linda "Jo", as well as his
nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his younger brother, Ron.
A celebration of life event will be held for Mike, on Friday, March 16, 2018 from 6:30 - 9:30 PM, at Cactus and Tropicals located at 2735 S. 2000 E.
Stories and memories of Mike will be welcomed.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made at any Zions Bank, under his full legal name of Gary Michael Davis.
