Charles Wayne Davis was born January 8, 1939 in Safford, Arizona. He was the son of the late Julius Homer Charles Davis “JC” and the late Ruth Ratliff Davis. Dr. Davis or “Charlie” as he was known by the many who loved him was a man of many interests and talents. He graduated from medical school at the University of Tennessee in 1965 and served in the United States Public Health Service as LT Commander in Alderson West Virginia, New Orleans, LA, Long Island, NY, and Gallup, New Mexico. Dr. Davis then established an Orthopedic practice in Prescott, Arizona where he practiced until coming to Americus in 1993.

Dr. Davis returned to Americus and finished his career retiring in 2018 after 52 years of service in medicine. He enjoyed piloting his sailboat the Santana 21, flying in his airplane, fishing and classic cars. His favorite car was his 1957 Chevrolet convertible. During his retirement, He and Mary hit the road in his Winnebago Camper and traveled all over. Charlie will be missed by many, as he had such a love for his patients, family and friends.
