Obituary of Chris Davis

Chris Davis, 59, of Dike, TX, passed away October 17, 2019, after a courageous battle with cancer, at home, surrounded by family. He was born January 25, 1960 in Corpus Christi, TX to Duane and Anne Davis. He married the love of his life, Jajan Adair, May 24, 1985 in Corpus Christi.

 

Chris was a 1978 graduate of Mary Carroll High in Corpus Christi and a 1983 graduate of East Texas State University. Chris spent the entirety of his adult life managing and running the day-to-day operations of Adair Beefmasters with his wife, Jajan. He was a veterinary pharmaceuticals salesman for a number of years and is currently a territory manager for Bridon- USA.

 

Chris understood what mattered in life, treating others with respect and kindness. This showed in the way he did his job, but more importantly in the way he raised his kids. He chose his work to ensure he had the time to coach his kids’ teams, serve with them on mission work, and instill in them the priorities that made him great.

 

Chris was a member of First United Methodist Church, Sulphur Springs and the Discoverers Sunday School Class.
