Berkeley Lowell “Pat” Davis, age 85, died at his sweetheart Ellen Garver’s house in Walla Walla, Wash- ington, on the 19th of January 2016, when he lost his battle to cancer. Born March 17th, 1930, in Walla Walla, Washington, to Berkeley Anthony and Mildred Rogers Davis, he graduated from Pendleton High School and later enlisted in the United States Air Force where he achieved rank of Second Lieu- Davis tenant. Upon returning home, B.L. attended Oregon State College where he was a member of the rowing and football team. With his father having a sudden heart attack, B.L. was forced to return home to take over the family Ranch in Adams, Oregon. On August 24, 1952, B.L. married his high school love Marlene Lieuallen. To this union, three children were born: Susan Marlene Davis, Berkeley Francis Davis, and Roger Lieuallen Davis. They made their home on the family ranch in Adams, Oregon. It was at this time B.L. started to build the family legacy, continuing to purchase land and grow the family business. In 1957 he incorporated the business into what is known today as B.L. Davis Ranch Inc. B.L. farmed and managed a vast amount of land and cattle over the years of which he gained recognition and several prestigious awards from the Umatilla County Wheat Growers Association and the Soil and Water Conservation District. B.L. was a pioneer in the farming industry, leading the way to stop soil erosion with such techniques as no-till farming and using combine stripper headers. B.L. combined livestock operations from FDOYLQJWR¿QLVKIHHGLQJZLWK the production of grain and new crop varieties. In later years, B.L. procured the title of acting president of Rogers Walla Walla Canning Company, assuming responsibility for the business that his grand- father L.L. Rogers created in 1935. B.L. remained presi- dent, overseeing operations through the business transi- tion to Rogers of Walla Walla until 1987, when he sold the business to American Fine Foods. With the desire to expand B.L. Davis Ranch Inc., and no land available for sale in the area in 1970, B.L. purchased DVLJQL¿FDQWDPRXQWRIODQG in Union County. In the early 1990s, B.L. purchased two Case Interna- tional Harvester dealerships, one in Walla Walla and one in La Grande, which he ran successfully for the next 12 years. B.L. always had a passion for rodeo and roping. He spent many hours roping in his arena at the ranch. He competed in PRCA Rodeos in team roping as well as steer roping. One of his favorite rodeos was the Pendleton Round-Up, where he served two terms on the board of directors. In his later years, he enjoyed traveling the senior circuit, roping with old friends. He roped up until 2012 at age 81. B.L. enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life that included football, snow- mobile racing, skiing, roping, KXQWLQJ DQG À\LQJ +H ZDV an honorary lifetime member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and in later years a member of the National Senior Pro-Rodeo Association. He was also a member of the Northwest Quarter Horse Association. B.L. was an avid helicopter pilot and a member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association.
