Weldon E. Davis, 76, of Oregon, OH passed away Wednesday morning, June 16, 2004 at the Toledo Hospital. He was born in Pontiac, MI on June 3, 1928 to Harley and Rose (Marsico) Davis. Weldon served in the US Navy from 1945-1949. On July 1, 1950, Weldon married Rosetta Petty. Two weeks later he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior. This life changing event shaped the next 54 years of his life. Weldon graduated from Bible College in 1958 and served as a minister at churches in Massachusetts, Illinois and Iowa. In 1966 he became a missionary to the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. In 1968 he moved to Oregon, OH where he served as the senior pastor at Grace Evangelical Church (New Harvest Church) for 27 years before retiring in 1995.
