Roland E. Davis, 67, of Taylors Island passed away peacefully Thursday, October 23, 2014 at the home of his caregiver in Cambridge.
Born in Baltimore on January 18, 1947, he was a son of the late Katherine Elizabeth Grewe and William Charles Davis.
As a young boy growing up in Baltimore, Roland was always fascinated with the railroads. After school he would ride his bike down to the tracks to watch the trains. Roland went to work with CSX as soon as he was old enough and was a Trackman for over 40 years.
Roland enjoyed the outdoors. He found his second home on Taylors Island. Roland and his mother moved to the area from Baltimore. The sunset across the tranquil water and the peacefulness of the country was like heaven to Roland.
Surviving is his son Edward and wife Sheri of Texas; a brother Charles and wife Gail of Florida; grandchildren Kimberly Davis and Ryan Davis; caregiver and special friend Denise Fletcher of Cambridge.
Preceding him in death besides his parents was his wife Donna and son John Richard Davis.
