Obituary: Davis, James Gerald

With much sadness we announce the passing of James Gerald Davis. Husband, Father, and respected member of our community. Jim passed on January 4th, 2025, after a courageous battle with RVCL. Born November 28th, 1954, in Philadelphia, Jim was known for his strong work ethic and devotion to his community. He is survived by Dale, wife of 42 years, and son Paul. A lifelong Philadelphia Eagles Fan, Jim bled green. During his time on Plymouth City Council and planning commission, he always gave his constituents a voice and believed that individuals could make a difference in city government. Jim earned an Engineering degree from Drexel. After moving to Minnesota in 1999 for a job at BAE Systems, Jim and family moved to Plymouth and never moved again. Jim was well respected by his colleagues for his "directness" and killer spread sheets.
