Charles Gregory "Greg" Davis

Charles Gregory “Greg” Davis, age 72, of Canton, Georgia, passed away on August 27, 2025. Greg was preceded in death by his beloved parents, William “Billy” Davis and Betty Owens Davis. He is survived by his devoted wife, Sandra Carrio Oates Davis; his children, Matthew Oates (Brian Winslow), Patrick Oates, and Carrie Baker (Jeff); his cherished grandchildren, Jacob, Carly, River, and Charlie; his brother, Glenn Davis (Karen); and many loving in-laws, nieces, and nephews. A faithful member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Greg lived a life rooted in service, education, and community. He graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science in industrial engineering, later earning a Master of Business Administration from the University of South Alabama. Greg worked for Scott Paper Company (acquired by Kimberly-Clark) for most of his career. He also served his country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserves. Greg was a proud brother of the Bill George Beta Psi Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity at Georgia Tech, and at the time of his passing, was serving as President of the Beta Psi Foundation, a role he held proudly and an organization that held deep personal meaning. The Foundation provides leadership training for all Sigma Chi brothers and awards scholarships to deserving applicants. He was also an active member of the Knights of Columbus and a passionate supporter of Georgia Tech athletics. A lifelong golfer and longtime member of Woodmont Country Club, Greg was happiest on the golf course or working in the yard. Born in Augusta, Georgia, he proudly attended the Masters Tournament at Augusta National for more than 60 years. In retirement, Greg found great fulfillment in substitute teaching at Cambridge High School, especially in the Math Department. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, planning family gatherings, cheering on Georgia Tech football and basketball, and, most of all, watching his grandchildren excel in their sports. Greg loved deeply, lived fully, and will be missed beyond measure. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 15, 2025, at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 535 Rucker Road, Alpharetta, GA 30004.
