Hal K. Davis passed away on March 8, 2023, at the age of 96 with his loving family by his side. Hal was born on January 15, 1927, to Guy L. and Margaret Davis in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hal graduated from Ogden High School where he met his future wife Betty Head.
After graduation, Hal enlisted with the U.S. Merchant Marines. During his time with the Merchant Marines, Hal bravely served in World War II and was on the ship of the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After his service was over, he returned to Utah and married the love of his life Betty on May 15, 1946. Hal and Betty celebrated over 70 years of marriage. They were blessed with 3 wonderful children: Kathy, Gary, and Brian.
From a young age, Hal began his work in the jewelry industry in Utah. In 1950, Hal and family moved to Boise to continue his work in the jewelry business. In 1966, Hal and Betty opened Hal Davis Jewelers. Hal founded the business on the principle of offering the finest, most unique designer pieces and treating every customer like family. Hal has lived by this principle and has instilled this in each of his employees for over 57 years.
Hal was an active member in the community and involved in many organizations. He was the President of the Ditch Safety Committee, Exalted Ruler and Board of Trustee of the Elks Lodge, and a member of the Boise Executive Association. He was also a huge supporter of Boise State Bronco Athletics. People who knew Hal referred to him as a true gentleman’s gentleman.
Hal is survived by his daughter Kathy Seim, son Brian Davis, two granddaughters Andrea Brekke (Jim), Jennifer Graves (Scott), and four great-grandchildren, Addison and Ryan Brekke, and Owen and Olivia Graves.
