Obituary for Joseph Paul Sheliet Davis Jr.
Joseph S. Davis
2/12/1955 – 3/20/2021
Joseph S. Davis Jr was born on February 12, 1955 in Billings, Montana and passed away peacefully at his home on March 20, 2021.
Joe grew up in Billings, Montana, Queen Anne Hill, Seattle, and Boulder City, Nevada. He graduated from Southern Nevada Vocational and Technical School in 1973 and later worked for the City of Las Vegas Public Works, Timberline Roofing in Pocatello, Idaho and then settled on South Whidbey in 1981.
On Whidbey, Joe worked as a welder at Nichols Bothers Boatbuilders, at Whidbey Tire and Auto as a mechanic and at Whidbey Parks and Recreation. Joe built amazing tables from wood burls and enjoyed fishing with his brothers for years. He could catch a fish with a string and a safety pin. Joe retired in 2016 to spend his remaining years at home with “the love of my life.”
Joe and Ginny were married in 1997 and enjoyed their years with family and friends, camping, playing cards, socializing, and lovingly spending time with their grandchildren as they grew up.
Joe is survived by his wife Virginia Davis; his sisters Kathleen Brakebush, Theresa Villella, Jamie Glein; his brothers Scott Penny and Glenn Penny; and his grandchildren Angelica Janda, Samantha Huben, and Tyler Heggenes.
No funeral service will be held as Joe’s wish is that you rather spend that time with those you love.
