Blue was a native of 40 years to Gillette, he was born at CCMH on February 2, 1985, he sadly died 27 days shy of his 41st birthday. Blue was the youngest child growing up and both he and his older brother attended Rozet Elementary school then Twin Spruce and finally CCHS which is where he would graduate from in 2003.

Blue began working at the Gillette Hardee’s at 16, then on to Big Piney as a chain hand on a drilling rig, which set him on his path for the remainder of his life in various jobs in the petroleum industry. He spent a decade as a consultant for several different oil companies. With his last employment as a pumper for EMEP.

Blue’s true passion was turning wrenches, and he was quite good at it establishing a reputation of high quality and a knack for troubleshooting problems. In 2019, he established his LLC “Blue Davis Services: operating out of his garage in his spare time. If Blue wasn’t working or turning wrenches, he was with his family or friends either camping or just hanging out taking care of his children and their family pets.
