Max Davis' Obituary
Max Davis, 83 of Centerville passed away Sunday, June 21, 2015 at Mercy Medical Center in Centerville. Max was born at home, near Moulton, to Lloyd & Velta (Ransom) Davis on March 7, 1932. He was the 8th of 10 children. Max received his education from Centerville High School. Max faithfully served his country in the Army. He had a true passion for farming and worked his entire life on the farm until his health would no longer allow. He enjoyed working with his hands and could build or fix anything around the farm. Max's ability to engineer equipment offered him many opportunities to take jobs outside the home place, but the farm continually kept him at home. He also enjoyed water skiing, motorcycle riding and time with his family. Survivors include his siblings, Doris Wilson of Moravia, Vera White of Winterset, Iowa, Lucille Byrd (Frank) of Moulton, Iowa and his brother Leland Davis (Cora) of Moulton, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his parents and five siblings: Lois Fox, Leora Whisler, Eileen Fowler, Donald Davis and Roland Davis.
