On October 2, 2010, the Lord called Gregory A. Davis home to heaven. Tragic and unexpected, his death occurred just four days after his 47th birthday. Born on September 28, 1963, in St. Louis, Missouri, he is the eldest son of Terry Lee Davis and Margie Brewer Paulk. Greg honorably served his country for six years in the United States Army as a heavy wheeled vehicle mechanic. He worked for nine years with the American Foods Group as a forklift mechanic/maintenance mechanic. Greg also worked several years with Schneider National as an over-the-road driver and a driver instructor.
He was a very hard working man who was deeply devoted to Linda and their two sons. Greg always asked for more work so that he could take good care of his family. They were his number one priority, and he fiercely defended and protected them. Greg cherished Linda and their two sons. He loved having home cooked meals with his family, going to the movies, watching football, and working on cars. Greg was content with quiet nights at home, knowing that his family was safe and sound.
He leaves behind the love of his life, Linda (Lopez) Davis, and their two sons, Nicholas and Gregory Davis, Jr., all of Green Bay. He is further survived by father and step mother, Terry and Charlotte Davis of St. Louis, Missouri; mother and step-father, Margie and Clyde D. Paulk M.D. of Sheridan; two sisters, Robin Watson, and Dawn Johnson, both of Sheridan; one brother, Zachary Davis, St. Charles, MO; a step sister, Beth Dobbins of Little Rock and many nieces and nephews.
Greg was preceded in death by his grandparents.
