Gerald "Dwain" Davis

Gerald “Dwain” Davis, 66, of Waterloo, IL, passed away on June 11, 2022 at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in O’Fallon, IL. He was born in Red Bud, IL on July 31, 1955 to Bobby and Geraldine, nee Muertz, Davis, and they precede him in death.

Gerald went by his middle name, Dwain, and worked as a laborer in construction. Dwain was a member of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Laborers Local 196, and the Maeystown Sportsman’s Club. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing and spending time outdoors. He could be called a nemophilist—someone who is fond of the forest scenery—as he could often be found in the wooded area around his home, feeding wild animals and watching them go about their day.

Preceding Dwain in death are his parents and grandparents, as well as his son, Mark Davis, and brother, Ron Davis.

Surviving Dwain is his wife, Connie Fenton, his children, Michael (Taylor) Davis and Rachel (Jeff) Schult, siblings, Barbara (Henry Schlotman) Esker, Steve (Brenda) Davis, Donna Davis, Roger (Rebecca) Davis, James (Aggie) Davis, Julie (Vance) Powell, and Gary Davis, his grandchildren, Mark and Thomas Palmer, Jackson, Molly, and Benjamin Davis, Kayla (Bobby) Hill, and his great-grandchildren, Adriana, Cameryn, and Jackson Hill, in addition to many nieces, nephews and great friends.

Per his wishes, Dwain will be cremated and a celebration of life will be held Friday, June 17, 2022 at the Maeystown Sportsman Club, 4309 Baum Road, Fults, IL 62244, starting at 4pm.

Hoffen Funeral Home is assisting the family.
