He was born September 23, 1934 in Roane County and was a member of Fellowship Baptist Church in Lenoir City.

He was a tireless worker and spent a long retirement caring for his family, church and maintaining the Davis family farm.  This legacy of work and service will never be forgotten.  Preceded in death by his loving wife, Betty Don Davis McNabb; great-grandson, Tyson Porcella; parents, W.E. McNabb & Eliza Jane Allen McNabb; three brothers & four sisters; several special nephews and nieces who treated him as a brother.
