After graduating high school in 1949, Ed migrated to the oilfields of west Texas. He began his career in the oil industry as a poor-boy rig mechanic and ended by leaving his family and employees strong work ethics. As a no-nonsense employer, he always believed in work first and foremost.
Ed married his wife, Johnnye, in 1960. Between the two of them they were blessed with eight children, 12 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. Ed especially enjoyed being surrounded by the little ones in the later years of his life. Mr. Davis was recognized and respected by countless business associates, employees and friends.
Ed experienced various health problems in the last 10 years of his life including a heart transplant and a kidney transplant. Yet, he stayed behind his desk as often as possible and loved every minute of it. His greatest desire was to pass his strong work ethics on to his family and was proud to see his efforts grow through his children and grandchildren.

Granny Alice was a homemaker. She was everyone’s “Granny,” whomever met her, she adopted. She loved her children and grandchildren. She took great pride in being a mother and grandmother. She was a great confidant. Everyone could talk to Granny about anything. She loved to dance and had a great sense of humor. She was young at heart. She loved knowing everything that was going on with the young people, she could relate to people of all ages. She was a kind, sympathetic woman that was very dependable. We will miss her greatly, but we have comfort that she is running and dancing through flower covered fields. She is with her parents that she dearly loved. Granny also loved God; John 11:25-26 says “He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all.” So we are excited that we will see her again.
