He was a business owner and operated the Thurber BP (Sohio) in Columbus for many years. An avid football fan, Dan’s favorite teams were the OSU Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns. He enjoyed boating. Above all, his family meant the world to him and his dog, Buddy, was his favorite person in the world.

He is survived by three children, Christopher Davis, Beth (Shane) Tuggle, and Anne Davis; grandchildren, Deven (Meghan) Davis, Joseph Quinn, and Jacqulyn Kitts; and great-grandchildren, Eli Liston, Addison Davis, and Emma Davis.

At his request, there will be no service observed. The family will have a celebration of the lives of Dan and Teri at a later date.
