Where Heritage and Life are celebrated.

Robert Michael “Bob” Davis

January 12, 1944 – April 9, 2023

Bob Davis’ love of life didn’t come to an end with his death. He passed away on April 9, 2023, at the age of 79 after a courageous health battle and is survived by loved ones and friends who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

A Purple Heart decorated Vietnam veteran, Bob was a proud Marine who demonstrated to the world that there is no better friend and no worse enemy than a US Marine. Bob was fortunate to fall in love and marry twice and was fiercely proud of his children, Meghan Davis Mack and Robert (Bobby) Davis, Jr. He was a natural mentor to numerous young people, many who shared that he was like a father figure.

Following a career in telecommunications, Bob was able to pursue his dream job, custom home building and remodeling. He created housing masterpieces for many delighted clients and took immense pride in his work. Boating and fishing were his hobby passions, and he always found peace and tranquility on the water. His favorite quote was “When the winds of change blow, adjust your sails” and all his life’s endeavors reflected that philosophy.

Bob is survived by his wife Ruthy, daughter Meghan, son in law Mike, grandchildren Davis, Cate, and Hugh, son Bobby, brother Tom, sisters Dolly and Mart and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Family will be welcoming visitors on Friday, April 14th at 4pm followed by a brief service at 5pm at the Rausch Funeral Home, P.A., 20 American Lane, Lusby, MD 20657. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Wounded Warrior Project in Bob’s name.

    My most sincere condolences to the whole family. I knew Bob through one of my college besties, Meghan. I spent so many good times with Meghan, Bob, Ruthy and many other friends. Memories of Jimmy Buffet (painting on pencil thin moustaches), sailing (singing the National Anthem as loud as we could), Chrisfield island, etc. It was Bob who taught me how to take a mental picture of something so that it stayed forever in your memory. Bob and Ruthy welcomed all of us into their home, took good care of us and showed us a good time, every time. Prayers for the whole family and excellent memories of this man.

    Wishing the best for the Davis family to endure his passing. His life and impact will be missed by many of us, but oh what memories! He certainly lived life to the fullest. My life was definitely changed. Some of the best times in my life were spent at his and Ruthy’s gatherings. He had a great love of friends, family and country.

    A most totally dependable friend. A more ambitious hard worker I haven’t known. We sure did have a lot of good times together and he’ll be dearly missed by all.

    Bonnie and I met Bob and Ruthy in 1995 when we started looking for waterfront land to build a future retirement home. Ruthy found us a perfect place, just three doors from them in Park Chesapeake. Over the next 28 years we became best friends and Bob built us a wonderful home which we lived in for more than 10 years. During that time the four of us went sailing on numerous occasions and on several vacations together to BVI, Key West, Crisfield and other places. We also became “best crab buddies” with Ruthy and consumed enormous quantities at their place and ours. Rest in peace Bob; you will always be a special friend.

    Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to the Davis Family. Bob loved life and he shared his passion for sailing with us. Bob showed us what it is like to be a friend, father, husband, and patriot! Words can’t express how proud we are to call him friend. We salute Bob in heaven. He was such a good friend over the years, and shared many fond memories. We will forever keep Bob in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. Our deepest sympathies to all. Much love, and “until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hands”.
