Edward T. Davis
Born: June 22, 1956
Died: April 12, 2021
Edward T. Davis, of Lockport, IL and a native of Lemont, IL passed away April 12, 2021 at the age of 64, with his family at his side. Eddie was born on June 22, 1956. He was known for being a gentle soul, loved by many. He was one of a kind, one of the kindest and had a great sense of humor.
Eddie attended Lemont Township High School and was the President of his Senior Class, President of the National Honor Society and an officer in the High School Marching Band, where he played the trumpet. During his senior year, he was a 3-sport varsity athlete. Eddie's love for sports began at a young age. Whether it was playing football, basketball, baseball, golf, or bowling, he gave it his all. His home teams were Braves, Hornets, St. Cyril's Comets and LHS. In his later years he continued his passion and gave back to the community as coach at St. Cyril and Methodius and again with the birth of his son Ryan. He led teams through teaching and sharing his passion for sports whenever he could. While Ed was an avid lifelong Green Bay fan, we all tried not to hold that against him. Through the years, he took a lot of family harassing but always stayed true to his Green and Gold colors. Go Pack Go!
During Eddie's lifetime, he had several jobs. One of his first was working part-time for Leo, his brother-in-law, at Leo & Son's Carpet & Furniture Cleaning, a tradition that many family members have followed suit. Eddie also worked for the US Post Office as a mail carrier, at Reeds Automotive. More recently, Eddie worked with his son, Ryan, at Wehrli Imperial Installation in Downers Grove, IL.
One of Eddie's most precious recent claims to fame was being promoted to grandfather. As a very proud grandfather, Poppy will always be the apple of his eye.
Eddie is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Francine Davis; his siblings, Bonnie O'Rozco (Leo) Leonard and Carl Davis; and his great nephew, Brendan O'Rozco.
Eddie is survived by his sons, David Dewar of Oswego, IL, Ryan (Tera) Davis of Plainfield, IL and his beloved granddaughter, Poppy Davis; his sisters-in-law, Carmen and Dorothy Davis. He was a beloved uncle to Randy (Cindy) O'Rozco, David (Bev) O'Rozco, Joanne (Jim) Calme, Sabrina (Alexander) Denner, Lena (Frank) Motola ,Leonard (Kirsten) Davis, Lisa (Steve) Parker, Lori (Eric) Swanson, and numerous great nieces and great nephews. He was a dear friend to many.
