Texas Farrier John Herman Davlin Passes Away

John Herman Davlin passed away on November 30, 2024. He was 85.

Before he was a farrier, Davlin spent 20 years in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. A Korean War veteran, he served proudly while building a family with his wife Janice, with whom he spent 61 years before her passing in 2021.

Davlin spent most of his life in Texas. He was born in Easterly in 1939 and later settled in Lampasas where he built his farrier business.
