Guy Lafayette Davis

Graveside Services for Mr. Guy Lafayette Davis, age 87 of Hoover, will be held on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at 12:00 P.M. at Jefferson Memorial Gardens with Bro. Larry Smith officiating.

Guy passed away on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at his home. Growing up in Margaret, Alabama, he worked for Norfolk Southern Railroad as a Switchman for many years before his retirement. He met Sandra, who quickly became his everything and the two were happily married for 53 years before her passing in 2012. Guy loved to watch college football, especially Alabama and NASCAR. His favorite pastime until his health wouldn’t allow it, was going to Buc-ee’s with his brother, Larry for a sandwich then heading to the Birmingham Racecourse to play with the machines. After Sandra’s passing, his cats Presley and Bandit, became the main focus of his life. Guy enjoyed spending time with his family and their visits, and was a former member of the United Transportation Union.

He is survived by his Children, Darryl Davis and Lori Myrick, his grandchildren, Drew Davis, Jeremy Crowe, Emilye Carder and Garrett Davis, several great-grandchildren, his brothers, Larry Davis and Ron Davis, his sisters, Sandra, Gloria (Bill) and Sally, and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his wife, best friend and loving mother, Sandra Jo Davis, his beloved son, Randy Davis, his brothers, Leon Davis and Danny Davis, and his parents, Lonnie and Marjorie Davis.

The family would like to extend a very special thank you to his sitters, Ruby, Gail and Rosie for their exceptional, loving care this past year.
