Robert "Bob" Davis, 79, of Klamath Falls, OR passed away on December 4, 2022. Bob leaves behind by his wife, Louise Bernardo; children Marlene (Sam) Murphy, Ken (Debora) Davis, Ted Davis, Alan (Astri) Bernardo, Christopher (Nicole) Bernardo; 11 grandchildren Heather, Carrie, Jennifer, Rachelle, Nicole, Raymond, Kylie, Katie, Kai, Madeline, Lauren; 2 great-grandsons; sisters Colleen (John) Childers, Deborah Grumbine, Janet (Mark) Grumbine and brother Doug (Jackie) Wiggins; his nieces and nephews; and the rest of his family and friends. 
He was born in Springfield, Missouri to Raymond and Wanda Davis. His dad passed away in WWII, when he was a baby, and was raised by his mother and stepfather Theodore Wiggins.
He graduated from Bishop Amat Memorial High School and attended Loyola Marymount University, before getting married at 21 and starting a family and raising a daughter and two sons. He was blessed 17 years ago to meet the love of his life and marry his wife, Louise, who brought him joy and happiness in his later years. They lived in Orange County, CA until 5 years ago, moving to Klamath Falls, OR.
Bob worked for several manufacturing companies before catching the entrepreneurial bug and started his own business representing manufacturers in the electronics industry in Southern California. In his "retirement" years, he was a school bus driver in California and Oregon.
While raising his children, he was involved in the local soccer club, as a board member, a coach and the biggest fan at soccer games. He also enjoyed boating, water skiing and teaching/pulling others on skis behind his boat. He was an avid reader and had a passion for riding motorcycles and traveling throughout the US as time allowed. Bob and Louise belonged to multiple motorcycle groups in California and joined a couple of motorcycle groups in Klamath Falls. He did not hesitate to participate in sharing his opinion and the finer parts of any debate.
He was predeceased by his parents, sister Dorothy and stepson Joey.
A memorial service and celebration of his life in Southern California will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at 11:00 am @ Calvary Chapel Beachside, 19400 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach, CA.
A celebration of his life in Oregon will be held on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at 11:00am @ Living Faith Fellowship, 4549 Homedale Rd., Klamath Falls, OR.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested to consider donating to the American Heart Association or any Cancer charity in his name.
