Obituary

On August 24, 2019 at 10:46 in the morning Henry Davis, Sr. received a call to begin the most adventurous and amazing journey he could have ever imagined. He answered, and to his amazement, the voice simply said, “it’s time, come on home!”

He grew up on a farm and worked as a construction worker most of his life, building major interstate highways and federal roadways, in several states and major cities. He enjoyed singing and playing guitar with a few local quartets, a great fan of boxing and wrestling (some friends call him “Hen Pin”). He often dreamed of becoming a professional fighter.
