Holmes Mercer Davis' Obituary
Holmes Mercer Davis, age 82, of Huntersville died peacefully on October 10, 2020 at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center. Mercer was born on April 18, 1938 in Norfolk, VA to the late Joseph and Margaret Davis. He worked as a Senior Executive V.P. in the Banking Industry, then for First Union, which is now Wells Fargo. He’d proudly served his country in the U.S.A.F.
His beloved wife Dorothy Mixon Davis preceded him in death and Mercer joined her on what would have been their 62nd anniversary. No doubt reunited at the Rainbow Bridge with all of their precious dogs and cats to greet them. Bop-Bop as he was affectionately known, was an avid car enthusiast and loved taking RV trips all across the United States. He was not one to be idle; heaven help St. Peter.
Survivors include his son, Tom Davis and wife Maria of Denver, CO; daughter, Elizabeth Anderson of Cornelius; brothers, Joseph Davis, Jr. and Richard Davis; sister, Margaret Rogis and 4 grandchildren, Davis Anderson, Sydney Davis, Reid Anderson and Brooks Anderson.
A private service will be held at Lake Forest Church. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Levine Dickson Hospice House at 11900 Vanstory Drive, Huntersville, NC 28078.
James Funeral Home of Huntersville is serving the family. www.jamesfuneralhomeLKN.com
