Walter Alvah Davis
Walter Alvah Davis, born October 23, 1942, passed away peacefully at his home in Wimberley, Tx on March 11, 2016.
Walt was born in Beaumont, Tx and spent most of his life in League City, Tx, graduating from Clear Creek High School in 1961 where both of his parents were on faculty. After attending college at Lamar University and serving in the United States Air Force, Walt began his career in the chemical industry, eventually retiring from LyondellBasell in La Porte, Tx in 2008.
After retirement, Walt and his wife moved to Wimberley in 2009, along with his beloved dog Sadie Fay. Walt enjoyed his years of retirement travelling, reading and spending time with his family, along with the occasional trip to the casino. He was an active member of the Sam Houston Corvette Club where he shared his love of Corvettes and speed with fellow enthusiasts.
Walt was preceded in death by his parents, B.E. and Hilda Davis and is survived by his wife Jill Carter, daughters Monika Davis and Jocelynn Dubcak, sister Carol Sue Shellenbarger, brothers Michael and Bert Davis, grandchildren Hunter, Madison, Julianna, Juliette and Jake, nieces Karyn Johnson and Erin Terjesen and nephew Kevin Casey.
A memorial service will be held March 17 at 2pm at Crowder Funeral Home in League City, followed by a gathering of family and friends at Red River Bar-B-Que and Grill, also in League City.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either The American Lung Association or the Wounded Warrior Project.
Laurie and I are saddened to hear of Walt’s passing. We enjoyed getting to know him through the Sam Houston Corvette Club and our road trip last summer to the Grand Canyon. He will truly be missed. Our prayers are with the entire family and hope that brings comfort to all.

Stephanie and I are extremely sadden on Walt’s passing and our prayers go out to all of Walt’s family. Walt and I where great friends and co workers at Lyondellbasell and legacy companies at the olefins facility at La Porte. Besides many funny stories we shared together , we also enjoyed some boating and beach time outside of work, many times we shared some coffee and talked over many issues facing our company and country, believe me Walt’s theories and spin was something to behold!
I am personally grateful Walt was in my life, it was my sincere honor having had the opportunity to have worked along side such and person and professional!
