More detail on this person: On September 5,
2013 my brother and fellow Army Aviator Daniel J.
Davies, 62, passed away at Fairfield Medical
Center in Lancaster, Ohio. He had been ill for
more than a year but never stopped the fight and
enjoyed life to the fullest. To those of us who
knew Dan would have expected nothing less. As a
fellow aviator in the Ohio National Guard the two
of us flew together a lot. Some referred to us as
the dynamic duo. To me he was one of the finest
pilots I had ever flown with and I trusted him as
no other. In the Ohio Guard Dan made many
friends and each has a special story about an
adventure they had experienced with him. Yes,
there was never a dull minute around him and the
silence in his absence is so very noticeable.
He was born October 24, 1950 in Columbus Ohio to
the late, Robert and Marilyn (Timmons) Davies. Dan
and I went to Ohio University together and were in
business together for many years manufacturing
homes made with Structural Insulated Panels. In
fact we were the early pioneers of that industry
and have the arrows in our backs to prove it. Dan
served in the US Army during Vietnam and in the
Army National Guard retiring as a CW4 after 34
years of service. He finished his career working
for the State of Ohio. Daniel will be missed by
family, friends and colleagues who have had the
pleasure to be associated with him during his
lifetime. Daniel is survived by his wife Peggy
Davies, daughters, Danielle (Brent) Siders and
Carrie Rhonemus; sisters, Cathy (Richard)
Hockenberry and MaryAnn (Richard) Starner;
brothers, Robert Davies and Kenny (Dee) Davies;
grandchildren, Emilee Siders, Layne, Kalley and
Leah Rhonemus.
