Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Michael W. Davis
US Army Corporal.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Just heard/read about Mike's story on television and online. I never knew him but as a fellow solider (albeit Canadian), the common experience of loss is one that's heartbreaking and sadly all too familiar. Taryns story is equally powerful but in the positive. This family deserves all the best.

Michael, I know your parents, Warner and Sonya and sister, Jessica. We were neighbors in State College, PA. Your dad was such a wonderful role model for my son, as was your mother for my daughter. They were wonderful friends & neighbors of ours. My daughter, Dawn, babysat for your big sister, Jessica. I remember that at Christmas time your parents gave us gifts. I was a single mom doing the best I could, but never expected those beautiful presents. Your mother was so beautiful and your dad very handsome!! We were so fortunate to know such very good people. We never knew you or Natalie, because your family had moved before you two were born. I would love to find your parents again. I sincerely thank you for your service to our country and for our freedom because of your sacrifices. Rest in peace in God's arms. May He bless and comfort your family and look after you forever. God bless you Michael.

He is truly my personel hero and when I look back to our WA days I remember that skinny little boy with the big smile. God bless Mikey, my hero, those who serve, and their families who continue to carry the torch. Taryn, you are setting a great example to ensure the memories live on. Kaye Sass, Tampa FL

In a little over two months, it will be two years since you left. I just wanted to stop by and let you know that your sacrifice has not been forgotten, and neither has that of Taryn. I still think about the two of you every day. Your love is definitely still something special, and the things she has done the past few years are amazing. I'm sure you're proud of her, as everyone is of both of you. Thanks again for serving.

Mikey, your birthday has come around again, as it will every year and your family will always celebrate the day you blessed our family. I miss you so much and how you always gave me a hard time for being so "old". Look, you are now 24. Did you get my balloon that I sent you, as I did last year. Oh, Mikey, you should see little Mikey and how much he lookes like you did as a baby. I hope he grows up to look just like you, awkard phase and all. I miss you more than words can say. Love your big sister, Jess

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Michael, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Michael, our beautiful Michael. Once again I am thinking of you and how much we all miss you. I'm crying again as if your passing was yesterday. Will I ever stop crying. I wish I could turn back the clocks, spend another day with you just talking and laughing, give you one more hug and tell you how proud we are to have you as our son. I know you are with us and that you see we are doing our best to get Taryn through this. We all love you so much. Tobi

Michael, although we never met I know you are up there smiling with my husband and watching down on Taryn and I. You both are probably laughing at how funny our telephone conversations are sometimes. I know you were a great man and I thank you for the sacrifice you made. Im sure we will all meet in Heaven, its too bad we all couldnt have been together on earth. Until then, watch over us and Rest in Peace. You are greatly missed, and always remembered.

Mikey, as your 23rd birthday has come and gone, your family still grieves for you. We are so proud of you and your loss has left a giant hole in all of our lives. This absence of you is a continual reminder of your sacrifice. Mikey, the memories we all have of you are filled with such love and admiration. We hope that you can see us all and are surrounding us with your love. Visit us often in our dreams, for there you are perfect and with us again. Your beaming smile and bright eyes are dulled forever, but not in our hearts or memories. We all miss and love you so dearly. Love, your big sister, Jess

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Our prayers go out to his young wife and as a long-time family friend, my heart cries for Warner, Sonia, and the girls losing their only son and brother. If you all read this please call me.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

I would like to "THANK YOU" for doing the job you did and continue to do even if it is in HEAVEN. Protecting us here in the USA and now showing us what an ANGEL truly is above are only a few of the many things you and your brothers/sisters that have gone before you have done and your brothers/sisters here on earth continue to do. I want to THANK YOU FOR THAT.
To Michael's Family:
May Michael's memories carry you far but may his rays of sunshine find there way around you to give you warmth and knowledge that Michael is around YOU ALL no matter where you are. Thank you for sharing Michael with all of us here in the USA.

As your best friend I am at a loss for words. I love you and wish that this tradegy would have never crossed your path. Michael was a wonderful huspand, friend, and person.You and him were a perfect match. Life is sometimes unexplainable and difficult to fathom. I love you and I love him for you. God will give you the strengh that you need to deal with your loss. You will never be the same, Michael will always be with you. I love you and am here for you even though I have not been through what you are having to go through.You are a wonderful person and you were amazing and supportive at all times to Michael. I always wondered how you could always be there for him and constantly send him care packages and letters and emails. You are an exaample to all military and wifes in general of how to support and encourage their huspands. You have been strong and brave and I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Only God can understand why. We are proud of your sacrifice to a greatful nation. May we stand together and carry his light into the world.
". . . It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry-
I am not there... I did not die...

Growing up as a military brat, I ended up in Poulsbo, WA. There I met a wonderful family-
Jess and I were in the same grade and I was a constant fixture at the Davis family home. I remember playing tetherball in the backyard with Natalie and Mikey and getting so mad that 6 years younger, Mikey always beating me! I remember growing up and missing them so much once they moved away (such is the life in a military town) Our families have remained friends for the last 16 years and upon hearing the news about my surrogate little brother Mikey, I was devastated. My prayers and thoughts go out to the entire Davis family, and to his lovely wife, who I never got the chance to meet, but was highly thought of by Mikey's sisters and Mom.
Everyone goes through their own stages of grief, and I feel for the families. Please know that I am so proud of Mikey and what he fought for. He was truly someone to be admired and I honor and cherish his memory. I pray for his fellow soldiers and their safety, and hold dear in my heart that he died trying to help other people. That is so selfless and so like him.
Godspeed Mikey! Until we see eachother again...

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Davis family, friends, and loved ones. I have a brother over there with the 10th Mtn. Div., and I can only imagine what you are going through. All I can say is accept the support of the people around you. Lean on them, and they, along with God, will help you get through this horrible time. My family and I will be praying for you all, and all of the troops that are still over there fighting for us.

Dearest Taryn and Family,
I met you briefly at the boys Ft. Leonardwood graduation - I am BJ's Mom. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you and the great loss I know BJ and his buddies feel. As a mother of two soliders, I can only imagine the loss you are feeling. You have made the ultimate sacrafice. Michael is a hero and I know he is watching over you and all his buddies still over there. May you find strength and peace. You are all in my thoughts 24/7.
With deepest sympathy
