Dear Local 9 members:
In a letter posted yesterday, Local 9 told its members about the workplace death of a fellow mechanic at the San Francisco Maintenance Base. We have been in contact with the family and they granted permission to release his identity.
Steve Davis, a 39 year-old mechanic from Tracy, California, died as a result of a fall in the Dock 2 hangar. He leaves behind his wife, Lisa, 16 year-old daughter, Stephanie, and 14 year-old son, Brandon.
Steve hired on with United in December, 1989 and spent the last several years of his career as a mechanic in the SFOOV tool crib. Dock 7 OV mechanic and friend, Dan Lievsay, often car-pooled with Steve as they both commuted to and from Tracy.
Steve routinely took work calls on his cell phone before and after his shift and often walked into work from the parking lot engaged in a work-related cell phone call. He intently focused on getting the job done, helping get the airplane out.
Dan said that Steve was the consummate professional who took an intense interest in performing his job well. When a mechanic needed something special or out-of–the ordinary from the tool crib, OV mechanics knew to ask for Steve. “He was the go-to-guy for tools on midnight shift,†Dan remarked.
Memorial services for Steve Davis will be held at
4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 20 at Fry Memorial Chapel
550 Central Avenue, Tracy, CA 95376.
After the memorial, family, friends, and coworkers will gather at:
The Elks Lodge, 6400 W 11th Street, Tracy, CA 95304.
The family requests that donations and contributions for the children’s education be sent instead of flowers.
Contributions and/or condolence cards can be sent to the address below.
Lisa Davis and Family, 757 Hemingway Court, Tracy, CA 95376.
Checks can be made out to Lisa Davis
Dock 7 midnight shift mechanic Dan Lievsay will also collect contributions at work on behalf of the family.
AMFA Local 9 will be making a donation and providing flowers from the members of the Local.
The Company agreed to pay all funeral costs and provided positive space travel to the family’s out-of-state relatives.
Any questions may be directed to Dan Lievsay at 209-832-3376.
Sincerely,
Joseph Prisco
