Melvin Davis

Melvin Davis, 68, of Cumming, GA passed away July 19, 2022. Mr. Davis was born in Atlanta, GA to the late Marvin and Montine Davis. Melvin had a larger-than-life personality and was a Jack of all trades. He had the Midas touch and could fix anything from automobiles to home repair. Melvin really enjoyed tinkering around working on cars. He was an avid NASCAR fan, he was a Bill Elliott fan in his early years, and was a Chase Elliott fan in his later years. Melvin loved his family, especially his grandchildren. He had a unique bond and relationship with each of his grandchildren and instilled many of the Davis traits to each of them. His dog, Finn, was his pride and joy. The bond between them was unbreakable. Mr. Davis was preceded in death by his sister, Margina Davis.

He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Donna Davis; daughter and son in-law, Amber and Eugene Smith; grandchildren, Corbin, Dylan, Livy; sisters, Maureen Brooks, Melinda Champaign, Marcille Payne; brother, Mike Davis; several nieces, nephews and extended family members.
