Son of Edward Franklin Davis and Bessie Ludy Bates Davis, Alex married Mary Frances Free on 10/27/1945. He was a good father to Gloria June, Barry Lynn and Gary Don (twins), Delbert Ray and Debbie Kay (twins) and Russell Allen.
Even though ill with emphysema for the majority of his life, Alex was a hard worker, never failing to provide for his family. He was also a loving son who watched after his mother until he was no longer able.
People in Sweetwater remember him as driving the delivery truck for Sweetwater Laundry. He was an avid Mustang football fan and loved western paperbacks.
We all miss you, Papaw.
