Larry Lee Davis, age 84, of Seymour, passed away on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Mr. Davis graduated from Columbus East High School in 1960. He began his career at Cummins Engine Co. on February 22, 1962, where he worked as a team leader until his retirement on June 1, 2002.
Larry had a great passion for riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He also enjoyed fishing, especially taking fishing trips to Minnesota with his father at his cabin. An avid outdoorsman, Larry loved hunting and proudly taking his Roadrunner to car shows. In addition, Larry was an enthusiast of shooting sports and archery, earning the title of Indiana State Archery Champion in 1978.
Larry was a member of the Moose Lodge, American Legion, and Diesel Workers Union. He had a happy disposition, as he was a "walking joke book" and always loved making people laugh.
Born on March 6, 1941, in Columbus, Larry was the son of Gerald A. and Norma L. (Neal) Davis, both of whom preceded him in death. On March 31, 1962, in Bartholomew County, he married Roberta Kay Clary, and she preceded him in death on April 16, 2005.
