Hugh C. Davis went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, January 25, 2013.  He passed away peacefully in his family's presence in Fort Worth.
Hugh was born Wednesday, May 4, 1927 in Forney, TexasX to James and Leona (Wiser) Davis. He married Joyce Pilkinton on April 29, 1950. He surrendered his life to the ministry in his early 1920s and pastored his first church in Wolfe City, Texas.  Shortly thereafter, God called him to move to Pottsboro to pastor Georgetown Baptist Church where he remained for over 35 years before his retirement. He loved his church and his ministry was his life. He was blessed to have many talents that he used throughout his many years at Georgetown. He was a carpenter before he was called to the ministry, and with a group of church members, physically built much of the Georgetown Baptist Church buildings as the church grew under his pastorship.
He was a wonderful husband and father. He was blessed with two children, Philip and Susan. Later in life, he had three grandchildren whom he adored. He gave his life to his family and will be greatly missed. He did much in a way with little; he could fix any car or household problem. He effectively wore rose-colored glasses; there was little in life that he considered a problem.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his wife Joyce on April 9, 2006; brothers Roy Davis, Gordon Davis, James Davis, Kenneth Davis and sister Lois Nash.
He is survived by his son Phil Davis & wife, Gayla, Davis of Corinth, Texas; daughter Susan Davis & husband, Brent Clark, of Ft Worth, Texas; brother Horace Davis of Garland, Texas; sister Ione Stroble of Rockwall, Texas; 3 grandchildren, Christopher Clark, Sarah Clark and Meghan Clark; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In the last couple of months before he died, he spoke of how glorious heaven would be. He is in the presence of his Lord.
