Kenneth Davie

CHAFFEE, Mo. -- Kenneth A. Davie, 73, of Chaffee passed away Monday, May 9, 2022, at the Life Care Center of Cape Girardeau.

He was born April 8, 1949, in Cape Girardeau to Alvin and Margaret Cook Davie. On Aug. 9, 1975, he was united in marriage to Deborah Siebert in Chaffee and to this union three children were born.

Kenneth was a veteran of the United States Army, serving in the Vietnam War from March 26, 1969, until Oct. 30, 1970.

He worked for Buzzi Unicem USA for 41 years.

Kenneth was a member of the Oran (Missouri) Knights of Columbus, VFW Post 3838 and the St. Ambrose Men's Club.

He was a self-proclaimed "jack of all trades and expert of none." He spent his free time on the golf course with friends and family, winning money at the black jack table, enjoying time with his grandchildren, and visits to the beach. He never met a stranger, and his presence will be missed by many.

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Deborah; three children, Gretchen Davie of Denver, Colorado; Nichole (Jonathan) MacLellan of Des Peres, Missouri; and Alex (Kristin Wolff) Davie of St. Louis; and six grandchildren, Ella, Anna, Jonathan, Addison, Roland and Greta MacLellan.

He is also survived by three brothers, Larry G. (Angela) Davie of Cape Girardeau, John R. (Patricia) Davie of Cape Girardeau and Robert L. Davie of Fruitland; and a sister, Judith A. (Don) Mika of Kansas City, Missouri.

Besides his parents, Kenneth was preceded in death by a brother, Stephen M. Davie.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Chaffee.

Eucharistic celebration will be at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Chaffee with the Rev. Joseph Kelly officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Ambrose School or the Glioblastoma Foundation in memory of Kenneth Davie. Envelopes will be provided at the funeral home.
