I worked for Msg. Davis while in Iraq we went out on missions together, this was something we never expected but feared. I could tell right away he was a good man who always put himself in others' shoes.

Mr.Davis was the most enthusiastic, inspirational motivator I have ever met in my life. He pushed me in running as well as Diana and the entire running team. He will be missed. He is one of those gifts from God that make people want to live and strive to do their best.
God Bless the whole family in your time of need and know that you are greatly loved.
