Ronald David Davis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

AUSTIN -- Ronald David Davis passed away on Thursday, June 4th, 2020, at the age of 78. He was born on December 25, 1941, in San Antonio, Texas to Leon and Ida Davis. He was the oldest of three sons and is preceded in death by his parents and brother Norman Davis of Quebec, Canada. Ron followed in his father’s footsteps from an early age, working in the jewelry store where his father was the manager, to becoming a manager himself, to finally owning his own business -- Ron Davis Jewelers from 1987 to 2012. Ron would light up at the family dinner table talking about the latest engagement ring being created for a young couple, proposal stories, and watches being passed down through generations. He was a natural salesman, in part because he loved people and loved helping make them happy. He will always be remembered for his warm smile, hearty laugh, and quick wit. And his love of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Since March 2019 until he was hospitalized shortly before his death, he was a contented resident of Arden Courts of Austin Memory Care. Special thanks to Nurses Odessa and Lindsay, Chef Keith, Caregivers Nick and Griselda, Executive Director Cassandra, and Care Advisor Seana for your Texas-sized hearts and the generosity of your selfless service every single day! Before that, the staff of The Clairmont Independent Living, particularly Susan & Joanne, helped keep him safe and well-fed. His family is so grateful to all who looked after him and cared for him like family. He is survived by his brother Daryl Davis of Dallas, Texas; daughter Katherine Davis White and her husband Kurtis White of Austin, Texas; as well as his former wife of 34 years, Anita Davis, also of Austin, Texas.
