Raymond "Thane" Davis

Raymond "Thane" Davis was born September 17, 1973. He was given freedom from his earthly cares on January 2, 2010.

Thane had a great love of the outdoors. Whether it was camping, hiking or fishing you could find him there enjoying Montana's big sky country. One of his favorite places in the summer was jumping off the Corvallis Bridge and swimming in his beloved river.

His passion was hitching horse hair and Western arts. He loved old country music and Ford Mustangs-they were "his car".

Thane was a big teddy bear who had a heart of gold. He would give anyone that was down and out a second chance. When Thane came back to the valley after a long absence, he found not everyone was as forgiving as he was. The last year of his life was filled with ups and downs. Immense joys and deep, deep sorrows. He is now happy forever in the loving arms of his Savior Jesus Christ, who he knew without a doubt, would always forgive him.

Thane is survived by his grandparents, Alfred and Mary Haws; mother, Sue (Ken) Ireland; father, Ray Davis; sisters, Raylene (Chris) Wroble and Sherry Ireland; children, Sasha Nott, Kasey Smith, Dylan Davis and Geena Petermann.

Thane will be truly missed by his friends and family.
