John Davie, 86, passed away on September 10, 2015. John was a hardworking man who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Early in life, he was a farmer which led to one of his favorite pastimes, driving his tractors. He loved to watch his grandkids in their sporting events and scientific endeavors. A favorite memory is of him is cooking breakfast. John liked to travel and go on cruises. He was an elder in his church.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jane. They met and married in Scotland where each was born. In 1954, they came to the United States where they raised their loving family, while building their family business for over four decades.
He is also survived by two sons, John R. (Vicki) of Little Rock and Alexander Scott (Melanie) of Hot Springs; two daughters, Jan Margaret Davie of Maumelle and Kimberly Davie Spencer (Charles) of Dallas; six grandchildren: John Andrew Davie, Adrianne Davie Smith, Catherine Alexa Davie, Camille Lynn Davie, Gavin Gregory Spencer, and Samantha Nicole Spencer; two great-grandchildren, Harper Nadine Davie and John Andrew Davie, Jr.; two brothers, Gavin Davie and Hugh Davie, both of Scotland; and a special white poodle named Piper (who understands Scottish accents).
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Rita McVicar and Margaret Davie of Scotland; and brothers, Sandy Alexander Shanks Davie of Canada and William Davie of Scotland.

Jean and family. I just happened upon John's obituary and was so saddened. So many memories of him at St. Andrews. ALWAYS spoke to me even as a little kid and always warm and friendly. Please know we are thinking of you all.

What a wonderful man! I considered John as one of my "extra" grandparents while growing up in St. Andrews. I loved the accent and visiting with him. And, I always respected and appreciated his time and care for our church families. To all of you, Jean, John, Jan... I pray everyone will feel God's grace and peace in this time of sorrow.
