Ronald Russel Davis was born on November 24, 1953 in Madison, TN to Marion and Christine Davis. He was an entrepreneur and jack of all trades, he worked flipping houses doing most of the work himself. Ron had a generous heart, and never failed to pick up his tools and help those who needed help.

When Ron wasn’t working, which wasn’t often, he loved spending time with his friends and family. He enjoyed spending time in Gatlinburg during family reunions.
