Orville Anthony Davis, age 40, passed away on December 26th, 2018 in Saint Charles, Missouri. He was born on March 24th, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica to parents Yvonne and Granville Davis. Orville attended Holy Trinity High School and St. Andrew Technical High School, where after leaving he became the coach for track and field in Kingston. He bonded with his siblings goofing off, playing pranks and just being himself. He was known to play tricks on his mother, turning those into jokes. He was also known as a free-willed person. Orville first came to Saint Charles, Missouri in 1999 to attend Lindenwood University on a track scholarship. He still holds All-time Indoor Top Ten school records for the indoor 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.99 seconds and the Pentathlon performance of 3,111 points. Orville was married on February 09, 2001 to Brenna Diane Grauberger in Saint Charles, Missouri.
Orville fiercely loved his wife and his family and believed his life motto “One Love” meant that you love your family eternally and unconditionally. His children’s favorite thing about their father was that they could always trust and talk with him about anything and gain his honest and almost predictive wisdom no matter the topic. They would stay up late together debating about topics big and small, and Orville basked in the togetherness with his beloved family. Orville was known for his “soapbox” speeches that could go on for hours. If it was a topic he was passionate about, you’d better be ready to take a seat and open your ears, because Orville was talking. Orville was versatile in his career, going from forklift operator to salesman and even tried his hand quite successfully at operating a tow truck. Orville did what needed to be done to support his family.
Orville was the ultimate goofball. He found the humor in everything with his characteristic wide white smile, a wiggle of his eyebrows and his two-beat giggle that his friends and family knew so well. One of the favorite quirks about Orville was that his greeting was always “Good Mornin’” no matter what time of day it was, and his children loved receiving random texts or phone calls from their father wishing them a good day or telling them “I love you.” Orville was known for his ability to nap anywhere, and an attempt to rouse him would result in the response “I was just resting my eyes.” He was an incurable Patriots fan, converted most of his children to Patriots fans and loved to throw out “The Brady Hand” (his impression of Tom Brady wearing all 5 Superbowl rings). Perhaps as a remnant of his athletic days, Orville always maintained his competitive nature as evidenced by his waking the entire neighborhood when he yelled “YAHTZEE!” or won a game of cards. Orville was incredibly proud to be a Jamaican, he was proud of his American citizenship, and he was proud of his athletic career. But most of all, he was proud of his family.
Orville is survived by his wife, Brenna Davis, children Luke Davis, Jordan Davis, Olivia Davis, Ethan Karras, Gabrial Davis and Jevon Davis; Parents Yvonne and Granville Davis; sisters Angela Davis-Johnson, Teisha Davis and Tefia Davis and brothers Mark Davis, Andrew Davis and Marvelous Davis. He is also survived by his parents-in-law Lowell Grauberger and Janice and Bill Dahl, and sister-in-law Liesel and husband Dustin Flansburg; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
