Donnie was a loving husband, married to his high school sweetheart, Debbie Denson Davis, for an incredible fifty years.

Donnie was a proud grandfather to his four grandchildren, Christopher Davis Jr. (Nicki), McKenzie Davis, Lyla Walker, and Davis Walker. He is survived by three brothers, Jim (Dot), Bob, and Gary.

After retiring from a thirty-year career with the DeKalb County Water Department, Donnie enjoyed his well-deserved leisure time. He and Debbie embarked on numerous adventures, traveling and cherishing moments with their children, grandchildren, and dear friends at their waterfront home. Donnie's dedication to his hobbies was evident through his twenty-year Braves season ticket holder status, fifteen-year Georgia Tech football season ticket holder and alumni association donor position, and his fifty-year membership in the Sons of the American Legion and the Sons of the Confederacy. He also found solace in boating, fishing, and golf.

Donnie will forever be remembered as a lively and compassionate soul. He had an innate ability to make friends with anyone he met and was always willing to lend a helping hand. His warm smile and caring nature touched the lives of many.
