Obituary of Arthur Edward Davis

Arthur Edward Davis September 3, 1936-May 30, 2020 Arthur joined his Lord Jesus and family members before him after a long battle with cancer. He is preceded by his wife, Carrie Davis, his father and mother, Orson & Roma Lawrence, brother Raymond Davis and his son Raymond Davis Jr. Family remaining is his brother Lynn Davis & wife Myrna, sister Leora Bennett and brother-in-law Charles Bennett. Several nieces and nephews, that he not only helped raise, but often took them places for vacation and enjoyment of this country. Arthur proudly served twenty years in the US Navy most in the submarine service. He was affectionately nicknamed Grumpy by his fellow sailors for his luck at winning at poker and dice. He spent about ten years with Global Marine traveling all over the world working on drilling rigs with his mechanical skills. The last 32 years he was an assistant A&E teacher at Miramar College in San Diego, California. He retired in January 2020. Art was an avid NASCAR fan. He owned several Corvettes and his last car was a 2018 Camaro, for his 81st birthday. Although Art lived most of his life in San Diego, California, since his wife died in 2006, he spent a lot of his time off in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He considered it his second home. Due to his declining health, his sister moved him here with the Bennett family the first of May to take what care of him they could. Arthur will not only be missed by his long time friends from childhood, his service comrades and fellow gambler-bingo players, but mostly by his family known as a loving brother, uncle and friend to all. Bon voyage Art. It’s smooth sailing from here on. You will be missed. Graveside services will be held at 10:30 am on September 3, 2020 at Memorial Gardens in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
