Bobby Carroll Davis was born January 1, 1933, in Bainbridge, GA, the son of Colton & Leah Brock Davis. He was a graduate of Mt.

Bobby was active in the Decatur County Farm Bureau, serving as director and president. He also served as chairman of the American Farm Bureau Swine Committee. He and his wife attended the inaugural ball for Governor George Busbee.

Bobby loved time spent outdoors, especially walking through the woods and exploring nature.

Davis; his children, Mark & Susan Davis, Alan & Lynn Davis, and Suzanne & Terry Phillips; his grandchildren, Curtis & Kim, Audrey, and Colton & Erica; and his great-grandchildren, Will, Klay, Grant, Brock, and Connor.
