William Thomas Davis III's Obituary
In the early evening hours of November 7, 2015, William T. Davis, III transitioned peacefully after a long fought battle with cancer. Brenda, his loving wife and soul mate of more than 50 years was by his side.
Bill , as he was affectionately known, was born on November 6,, 1949 in Port Washington, NY to Sadie and William T. Davis, Jr. He was educated in Mineola, NY where he met and fell in love with Brenda Lloyd at a very young age. He worked in his father’s business for many years and then moved to California. He and Brenda were wed in 1993 and have resided in Oro Valley, AZ since that time.
Bill was loved for his good-heartedness, and was generous with both his time and talents. His skill, hard work and his pursuit of perfection made him an outstanding craftsman for over 40 years. Not only was he a perfectionist in his craft, Bill took that same pride in being a husband, son, son-in -law, big brother and brother-in-law ... as well as a wonderful friend and neighbor. With his warm, infectious smile he profoundly touched the lives of everyone he met. To know him was to love him!
Bill leaves to cherish his memory his beloved and devoted wife Brenda; his parents Sadie & William T. Davis, Jr.(Round Rock, TX) ; sister Barbara E. Davis (Round Rock, TX); brother Scott A. Davis (West Covina, CA); sister and brother-in-law Melissa & Craig Smith (Round Rock, TX) and nieces Lindsay M. Smith and Stacey E. Smith; nephews Michael D. Harris and Zachary D. Smith; great nieces LeDea T. Harris and Camille A. Smith; great nephews Malachi Harris and Tavion M. Wilson and a host of family and friends.
