STEPHEN (STEVE) LEWIS DAVIS

1958-2018

Steve passed peacefully on Sunday, August 26, 2018. Born in Houston, TX, Steve was the son of Stanley and Lucille Davis. After earning an electrical engineering degree at the University of Houston, Steve worked at Texas Instruments for nine years. Along with two other engineers, he left TI and founded Davis, Nussrallah, & Associates, which designed custom computer chips. Steve became sole owner as the company changed to DEI, then later to Oasix. Eventually, Oasix was sold to TI, and Steve retired, devoting himself to friends and family, earning his pilot’s license, and travelling extensively.

Steve enjoyed Astros baseball, college sports, and arts performances. He was generous in many ways to several organizations, including working diligently to develop and construct Austin’s Long Center, serving as chairman of the Austin Lyric Opera, and sponsoring many University of Houston athletes.

Steve was preceded in death by his older son, Adam; and younger brother, Randy. He is survived by wife of 47 years, Sherry Lynn (Hunter) Davis; son, Andrew Davisson and daughter-in-law William; brother, Stanley and his wife Sandee; nephews and nieces, Tim, Doug, Jenna, Amy, Samantha, Lacie; and many great-nieces and greatnephews.
