Randall 'Randy' Lee Davis Obituary (1960

Randy Davis was called home at 7:44 the evening of March 6, 2023. He was 62 years old. He was born to Lee and Murline Davis, in Yakima, Washington, on May 21, 1960. Randy graduated from Wapato High School in 1978. He continued his education at YVCC, WSU, and CWU. He graduated from CWU with a bachelors degree in education in 1983. He later completed his masters in teaching. Randy met his wife, Carla while completing his September Experience Practicum at CWU. Randy married Carla Bell on August 4, 1984, and they made their home in East Valley. Randy spent much of his teaching career at East Valley School District, teaching at East Valley Central. Randy had a passion for teaching, both in the classroom and through other school activities. He believed every student could be successful and it was his mission to help them realize that goal. He was instrumental in bringing robotics and the salmon project to EVC. He never missed an opportunity to teach a science lesson. Over the years, Randy enjoyed coaching many sports, but 7th grade girls volleyball was his favorite. He took such joy in watching students just introduced to a new sport grow in their skills and confidence each season. Through these activities and his teaching, he established many lifelong relationships with both staff and students. Another of Randys passions was the family farm. He loved his cows and providing his children (and many others) with the experience of farming. Randy was a 4-H leader for many years and the beef superintendent at the West Valley Fair. This was one way he showed his support and pride in his children and their activities in 4-H. Randy loved to ride in the side-by-side to change water and feed the cows enjoying nature. It added to his enjoyment when family members or others would join him! Randy was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Many of his favorite memories were of hunting trips with family including his wife, sons, daughter-in-law, grandsons, brothers, sister, and many others he shared the love of hunting with. His number one item on his bucket list was to be able to hunt with his family for a complete hunting season. He was able to do that this fall before cancer limited his abilities to move freely. Randy is survived by his wife, Carla Davis (East Valley), his children, Justin and Natalie Davis (Wenatchee), Codey and Kayla Robinson (East Valley), Travis and Lauretta Walters (Reno, NV), Matt and Megan Schut (Wenatchee), six grandchildren, his siblings, Tom Davis (East Valley), Mike and Tracy Davis (Electric City), and Kimberly Lunning and Adam Hill (East Valley). Randy and Carlas doors were always open to friends, family, and strangers that became friends. Their home was always full of children, and they loved them like their own. When asked why, Randy would respond, "its our job to love" and love he did! A Celebration of Life will be held on April 22, 2023 (Earth Day for our Science Guy), at the Davis Farm, beginning at 1:00. There will be a simple service, followed by a time of celebration doing what Randy loved. Please come prepared to fish, hang out by the fire, and enjoy a day in nature with good food and friends. Feel free to dress casually, and dont forget to bring your fishing gear and a lawn chair. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family.
