Gwynne D. Davis passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 28, 2021 after a brief illness.  He was a life long resident of Oxon Hill, MD until five years ago when he moved to Crownsville, MD.  

Gwynne was born to Percy and Margaret Davis on August 27, 1931 in Washington, DC.  He was the youngest of ten children.

Gwynne was proud of his time in the Marine Corp after graduating from Anacostia High School.  After the Marines, he worked at the Clothes Mart clothing store in Marlow Heights, MD.
