Bruce Allen Davis

Bruce Allen Davis, 76, of Youngstown, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 18, 2024, at St. Elizabeth Hospital, just 11 days after the passing of his beloved wife, Gwendolyn.

Bruce was passionate about sports, participating in various bowling and golf leagues, and he proudly held a third-degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon-Do. Known for his generous spirit, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Above all, Bruce cherished time with his family, finding joy in spoiling his grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Gwendolyn McMahan, whom he married on September 19, 1974. He is survived by his two sons, Mark A. (Nicole) Davis of Sint Maarten and Charles L. (Lacy) Davis of Austintown; five grandchildren, Lucas, Noelle, Tyler, Fiona, and Zachary; and his brother, Dale R. (Debbie) of Montana. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Patty Ann Davis.
