Samuel Adler Davis, 91 years 10 months, of Pleasant Grove, Arkansas went to join his Heavenly Father Thursday, October 3, 2024. Adler was born December 1, 1932 in Pleasant Grove, Arkansas to Nathan Walker Davis and Mable Estes Blair.

Adler developed a fondness for music at a young age; which carried him from playing with his family and friends on the stage of the court square to the Bicentennial celebration and command performance by Queen Elizabeth of England, in Washington D.C.

Adler enjoyed playing basketball and baseball, which carried him into his lifelong devotion for the Arkansas Razorbacks and the St. Louis Cardinals.

He drew great pleasure from hunting and fishing with his son Brady and many family and friends.

After graduating Pleasant Grove High School, sweethearts Adler and Joy married on May 15, 1953. Upon enlistment in the Army they were stationed in Anchorage, Alaska where they welcomed their son, Gordon Brady; followed by four daughters, Robin Renee Rutledge (Tommy), Jean Marie Lawrence (Cecil), Sara Joy Bradshaw, and Julie Anna Ivy (Anthony).

His warm and caring spirit will be greatly missed by his entire family and a host of friends.
