Tyrone

Davis

Tyrone Davis, 73, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on June 18, 1952, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Tyrone moved to Toledo in 1966. He graduated from Jesup W. Scott High School in 1971 and began his working career his senior year with Gladieux Food Service. Shortly after graduating, he started at Champion Spark Plugs, where he remained a dedicated worker until the company closed. He then joined Johnson Controls in 1989, where he worked until his retirement.

Tyrone was a man full of life, love, and personality. He was funny, charismatic, and always knew how to light up a room. He played softball and basketball, enjoyed bowling, and had a true talent for working with his hands—whether it was fixing up cars or building things from scratch. He loved fishing, shooting pool, bike riding with his granddaughters, and spending time at the raceway betting on horse races. He also enjoyed watching golf and tennis matches on tv and was a die hard Cleveland Browns fan.

Tyrone is survived by his devoted wife of 54 years, Selena Davis; his children, Jermaine and Monica Davis; his granddaughters, Jasmyn and Asia Davis; his brother, Lee Pembrook; his uncle, Ted Daugherty; special niece and nephew, Oleen and Richard Clinton; and his best friend of many years, Marlin Cortland. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will carry his memory with them always.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Evelyn Weatherly; his stepfather, Juan; his siblings Betty Lyons, Barbara Clinton-Lucas, and Ronnie Davis; his aunts, Mildred, Anna Mae, Bernice, Shirley, Catherine, and Gladys Marie; and his uncles Donald, Edward, and Will.

Tyrone lived a full and vibrant life. He worked hard, loved deeply, and laughed often. His spirit will live on in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.
