Jefferson John Davis

Jefferson John Davis was born in The Dalles, OR, June 6th 1972, to Jerry and Peggy Davis. He was a sixth generation Oregonian.

Jeff graduated from The Dalles High School in 1990. He earned a BA degree in Education from Western Oregon Collage and a Masters degree in Education from George Fox University. He taught for 20 yeas in the Nampa, Idaho school system.

Known for his sense of humor, Jeff loved to make people laugh. In collage he performed at athletic events as “Wolfie” his school’s mascot. He introduced his children to Disneyland, Disneyworld, and Universal Studios. Marvel superheroes, Star Wars, and Harry Potter became family favorites.

A small inheritance in his 20’s allowed Jeff to travel. He explored London, saw the Queen, and celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin. Jeff took a temporary job crewing on the Spice Girl’s yacht as the means to attend Cannes Film Festival. Travel became a life-long interest. He zip-lined with his children in Washington State and Costa Rica. He had been planning a trip to Hawaii.

Jeff is survived by his children, Parker John Davis and Addison Joy Davis, his parents, brother George M. Davis (Heather) and sisters Cynthia L. Kliewer (Kyle) and Kara K. Davis. He is also survived by nephew Zain Hartsook, nieces Kaitlyn, Nicole, and Emily Kliewer. Additionally, Jeff leaves many loving cousins and friends. Jeff had been separated since October from his wife of 20 years, the former Melody Allegier. Divorce proceedings were pending.

Preceding Jeff in death were his grandparents, George and Eva Anderson Davis and Joseph and Cynthia Palmer Healy, his uncle Daniel J. Healy.
