Marvin Davis Sr.

Today, Marvin Davis, Sr., the youngest child of Steve and Mary Davis, is honored. On February 2, 2023, Marvin was called home to his Lord and Savior. His purpose on this earth, which our Heavenly father had ordained, has been completed, and in faith, we sustain God has now granted him eternal life.

Marvin Davis, Sr. was born on October 2, 1927, in Hallsville, Texas. He received his formal education at Galilee School in Hallsville. In his early life, he married Lorene Davis McNeal. This union birthed twelve children. Later, Marvin moved to Dallas, Texas. Here, he began an over three‐decade career as a truck driver for Atrium Door.
