Although, I only met Jack a few times, I enjoyed visiting with him. May God bless the Davis family and may God remind you that this is not a “goodbye”, but a “see you again” moment.
“Who we are is God’s gift to us…who we become is our gift to God”. Our prayers and thoughts are with Ann and family. What a gift Jack was to God and all who shared his life.
Thoughts amd wonderful memories.
Dennis and Sandy Deutsch
Dear Ann,
Our hearts are with you at this time and in days ahead. We are blessed to have known you and Jack. You are such dear people. I know there is rejoicing in heaven upon his arrival. Psalm 116;15 tells us this. Jack was a good man, a godly man, and a fun loving man. You two have contributed so much to your church, SS class, friends, etc, etc.
Love and prayers to you,
Gerald and Maxine
Working with and knowing Jack for many years was a pleasure. Jack knew and loved the Lord. We have lost a good friend and he will be missed.
Precious Ann, Your Jack was a quiet servant — a man who loved people but hated attention. But he had no reserve about being public in his love for the Lord and in his love for you. My mother always smiled when she talked about “that rascal Jack Davis.” He is probably already making her giggle. He was a treasure.
Ann, may God be with you in this difficult time. I know that Jack is in a better place, and smiling down upon us, free from pain and with his Lord. I am here for you, just let me know if you anything, and I’ll be there. You and all of the Davis family are in my thoughts, and prayers. Randy
Ann,
I am so sorry to hear of Jacks passing and he will be missed. He was the first friend we met when Cathy & I moved in back in 96.
If there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to come over.

Ann, I’m so sorry to hear about Jack’s passing. He really stood out in our neighborhood as a wonderful volunteer. Never thought twice about lending me his truck on several occasions. He volunteered for the neighborhood association with a smile and a humorous anecdote. I will miss seeing him at our functions, but hope that you can find comfort and peace through your faith and in the presence of your friends and family.
Jack was what I have always called a miracle man–not a performer of miracles but an excisting miracle. He has survived so many problems that others have not survived. He has always been my inspiration and picture of a life will lived. He is kind, loving, and unselfish, and his spirit will always live among us. I only hope that we can live up to the example that he has set for us.
Ann, I am so sorry to hear about Jack, but know he is with The Lord, and his worries and cares are behind him. I am so glad The Lord gave you this last year of preparation, but know it is still difficult. I will miss my conversations with Jack when I am out walking my dogs, now hope I will see you. Daunn Brim
Jack and Ann Davis are 2 very special people in my life and the lives of our dental team members. They are one of a kind and special to us in so many ways. We always look forward to visiting with them and having them around us. They are such a loving couple and an example of what a wonderful marriage creates.
Jack was a dear man and friend. He fought some hard battles with dignity. He brought joy to so many and we will miss him beyond measure. I am with my aging parents today to help my father with my ailing mother but my heart, prayers, and spirit are with the family and, especially, sweet Ann, You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
