James F. Davis of Sun City, Arizona died on January 26, 2013, at the age of 72 years. Jim was born June 9, 1940, to Frank and Della (Martin) Davis in rural Harrison County, Iowa. He attended country school and graduated from Woodbine High School in 1958. Jim married Janet Park in 1960 and the couple had three children. Jim lived and worked in Omaha and Woodbine, where he attended the First Christian Church, was a volunteer fireman and during the early 1970s owned Jim's Standard Service. After selling the station, Jim worked in the paint industry and eventually moved to Denver, Colorado in 1985, and retired to Sun City, Arizona in 2011.

Jim loved horses, gardening and growing vegetables, camping and RVing, and going to concerts and listening to music. Jim also loved watching sports, especially baseball. In 2007, he realized a lifelong dream when he attended a World Series game at Coors Field in Denver. Although Jim moved from Woodbine, he enjoyed staying in touch with high school friends and hearing the news about his hometown.
