MONTESANO, Wash. — Air Force Staff Sgt. Timothy P. Davis, who grew up here, has been killed in the Oruzgan province of Afghanistan as the result of injuries received from an improvised explosive device.

His death was announced by the Department of Defense.

The Daily World reported Air Force personnel delivered the news of Davis’ death to his mother, Sally Sheldon, at her home in Aberdeen on Friday. Davis’ father, Mike Davis, lives in Ocean Shores. Davis grew up in Montesano.

Davis had just turned 28 and would have been married for five years next month. He met his wife, Meagan, while training at Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane. The couple had a 1-year-old son, Timmy Jr.

Meagan Smith told The Daily World by telephone from Spokane on Friday, “My breath has just been taken away. I am still in shock.”
