Russell G Davies passed away, Wednesday, August 19, 2020, after a short illness and surrounded by those he loved most.

Russell was born December 16, 1943, to Frank and Winona Davies, in Duchesne, Utah. While he was quite young, the family relocated to Mapleton. As a youngster, Russell developed a love for all things with a motor and wheels. He bought, and was running, his first commercial truck at the young age of 15. He graduated from Springville High School and continued his education and graduated with his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University. While studying in Logan, Russell met and started dating the love of his life, Janet. They were married February 14, 1966, in the Salt Lake City Temple.

Soon after marriage, Russell started his own business, Davies Motor Company, for which he is known across the country, for his custom work. He had a work ethic that was unmatched. Russell and Janet made their home in Spanish Fork, Utah, and had 3 children. The only thing that he would miss work for was family, continuing with his grandchildren. He rarely missed an opportunity to attend a band concert, baseball game, or car shows, that the kids were involved in. Russell and Janet enjoyed traveling the country with a great group of friends.

Russell is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints having served in many positions, including Ward Clerk and in the Elders Quorum.

Russell was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Winona Davies; his brothers: Eugene, Verl, Lyle, and Kirk.

He is survived by loving wife, Janet; children: Ron (Nancy) of Spanish Fork, Wendy (Mike) Johnson of Provo, Brad (Angela) of Spanish Fork; 7 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson; and his 2 sisters: Mildred Haymond of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Audrey (Terry) Gavin of Lake Shore, Utah.
