Davis family, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time. In the time that I knew Jim he was the first to give me a hard time and usually did it with a smile of some sort. Trent knew you for many years and I’m sure has many stories. We are thinking of your family and wish we could help celebrate the life that he lived.
