Although it was a long time ago during our high school days, I've never forgotten what a great friend you are to everyone you meet. May God be with your family through their devastating loss. I am a better person for having known you. I'll always remember you smiling on that baseball field! RIP Jay, or as I knew you in high school "Jamie".

Hello Mr.Davis, remember me, it's Roosevelt Cotton? I will never forget you or your kindness; thanks for helping me get a foot in the door with the STLMSBL. I'm a little teary and in shock because I just saw you barely even a month ago when I congratulated you and your team for this past 1st place season. I'm proud to have had the chance to meet and play with you. I never told you this; however, you and your 1st place team always pushed me all season long to want to play better and I was a blackbird. I looked at you as a mentor, thank you Mr. Jay and I will continue to put my all into the game and try to be a positive role model/mentor like I learned from you. R.I.P w/love!!

Jay was a special person. He was good-hearted, patient, kind and he had a peaceful nature. I always looked forward to talking to Jay on any subject in the few years I worked with him at Boeing. I was so deeply sorry to hear of your great loss. I will miss Jay and I will never forget him. I am the better for having known him.

Although Jay will be missed by many, his passion for life (and baseball) has been passed on to his boys. He will live forever in the hearts of all that knew him. God bless Jessica and give her the strength to make it through this difficult time.

Jay,
What you brought to the table for baseball in the St. Louis area is unmatched. I remember when Chris Schrick brought you to our Lake Saint Louis MSBL team and I new you were a special player. Not just your skills and knowledge on the diamond, but your demeanor as well on and off the field. I remember when you formed the Spikes and what you have done with that group of men tells a lot about you. You were a great leader who was well respected and people just liked to be associated with you. You were always successful at whatever it was you did and we all admired that. You were a great husband and father to your boys and a very proud of them. Whether it was with Lake Saint Louis, the Perfectos, the Renegades Fall Classic trip, or the opportunity to get to play for the Spikes, it was always a joy. I thank you my friend for that opportunity. Jay, you are 'baseball' as we know it whether your passion for playing, managing, or your love for the Cardinals. You will always be remembered and are a true Hall of Famer in all of our hearts. Prayers go out to the Davis family in this time of mourning. You are in a better place, and we will meet up again 'buddy'. God bless.

Jay was a great friend and one of the most amazing people I have ever met. It's so sad to have lost Jay so soon. Jessica, not sure if you remember me but Jay made my life in tough time much better and he was always willing to give me a great advise, I just wish I had the time to tell him how much I apreciated everything he did for me. In this tough time I can just say that we can all feel happy to have been in so many ways part of Jay's life. Love you Jay forever! Thanks buddy for all the great memories. I know you are in a great place.

Jay,
As odd as this sounds I agree with Steves' sentiment, a book or one sentence can never fully show what a truly great man you were.
Personally I still can not thank you enough for allowing me to find my love of baseball again, had it not been for you open invitation to play for the spikes 7 years ago I would have long forgotten the game.
You allowed all of the spikes to become family, enjoying ups and downs, trials and tribulations with both our games on the field and helping all of us off the field in one way or another.
It is because of this bond you created, that we will find the strength to continue on even though you have left us. We will all never forget you and will always be everlastingly grateful to have had you in our lives as both a manager, teammate and friend.
The profound amount of love you put into your personal life as well as the game of baseball will never be duplicated by any one of us. As a team and your friends, we will strive to reach that bar you set in the clouds, together as one, and make you smile behind those aviator sunglasses one more time.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jay on the baseball field. As an umpire I always appreciated Jay's willingness to be civil even when things didn't go his way. He is and will always be a shining example of how to conduct yourself in a team sport. Our prayers for your family and friends, we are so sorry for your loss.

Jay and I crossed paths for just a brief moment in 2009, while teaming up to dominate the MSBL Fall Classic in Jupiter, FL. His impact in terms of enthusiasm, love of the game, and love of his peers left a mark that will not soon fade. As a result, I started up my own travel team to provide the players in my league the same experiences, while continuing to team up with the Spikes as frequently as possible. Baseball players in my area have Jay to thank for the benefits they have now, even though most never knew him at all. That is how far his reach was. It's hard to imagine anyone filling his Spikes with the same touch, but given the group of quality guys he teamed together on an annual basis, his legacy will move forward one way or another. I feel deeply saddened for Jessica, the boys, and anyone who has put on the Spikes uniform, but I feel blessed to have done it myself, as well. Thank you Jay. You made me feel like an immediate part of your baseball family, and allowed me to make lifelong friends because of it.

Jay (or often known as "Cooper's Dad" to my daughters) had a personality that drew people towards him. He was easy-going, full of life, and considerate. He was the epitome of what I hope my son will one day grow to be: loving husband, dedicated father, and sincere friend. He will be greatly missed.

Jay - I'm sure neither of us miss that 3 ft cubicle we used to share, but I have and always will miss the "Hey, Buddy" and smile I got every day. I know everyone else will too. Rest in peace, friend. To Jessica and the boys, "great guy" is an understatement, to say the least, but you have one looking out for you forever. On behalf of Jen and I, our deepest sympathy and we will be thinking of you are saying a prayer.

Jay,
I am so thankful for the time that I had to know you. Your love for your family, your passion for the game of baseball , and your calming manner throughout daily life will always be an inspiration! When I first started playing for the Spikes in 2004, I was immediately hooked. The way you ran the team and the atmosphere you provided was nothing like I had ever seen. You talked about the 'Spikes Family', and that is so true, we are a big family! You are like a brother to me, and I will miss you so much, and I will always remember you!
Jess, Ben, and Cooper, I am deeply saddened and sorry for your loss. I will always remember the way Jay loved you guys! He is a great man, not soon to be forgotten.
Amie Kars

Jay, knowing you has been an honor and a privilege. I will always remember you with a smile on your face, giving unlimited time to your family, friends, and team. Thank you for being such a great friend to Jon, and for welcoming both of us into the Spikes family. You have meant so much to us; I hope you know how much we love you. We are heartbroken. We miss you so much and we always will.
Jessica, Ben, and Cooper, we are so sorry for everything that you have lost. We will always be here for you and we will always be your friends.

Jessica, Ben, Cooper and the rest of Jay's extended family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to all as you mourn the loss of a great husband, father, son, brother and friend. It has been my honor to know Jay for many years. His ability to make others feel welcome was unmatched, and his love for the best parts of life was infectious. I was fortunate to go on many road trips with Jay over the years. As much as it pains me to think of his passing, at least I have the solace of knowing he left us while enjoying life to its fullest. In my mind Jay is on an extended road trip playing the sport he loved with all those present who have passed before us. And he'll be there to welcome us whenever we arrive with a jovial smile, handshake or hug on a warm spring summer day. Until then Jay we'll think of you as we enjoy those moments you always made so special.

Jay, I will always be thankful for the opportunity you gave me to play for you. The passion and love you had for the game is unquestionable. The commitment, sacrifice, and legacy you leave behind will serve as a model to follow, especially for those like me who had the privilege and honor to have known you. Jessica, Ben, and Cooper my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Rest in peace my friend, we will miss you greatly.

Jessica, Ben, and Cooper:
On behalf of Sharon, Colin, and myself, I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you. Jay was, without question, an outstanding, generous, fun-loving person who always placed others' needs ahead of his. Sharon and I have had the joy of watching our son play baseball for many years, but I don't think Colin truly loved baseball until he met Jay and played for the Spikes. The Spikes clearly mirror their founder. It's a great organization with a great group of guys. Jay, we will miss you, but our family knows you will be doing your best to look after us, as you always did as a great friend, husband, and father.

Hey Buddy. I remember the 1st time we met in 2005. I was there trying to get a few of your teammates and yourself to play baseball with me in Florida that fall. I remember you gave me the look over and a few seconds later you took the field. At that point I knew I wanted to play for you. I remember down in Florida after our tournament was over and we were shaking hands you told me that I could play for you any day. I didn't realize what I was in for. I thought I would be signing up to just play baseball I didn't realize that I was becoming part of a family. I have learned so much from you and I instill that in the athletes I coach today. Jay I will always thank you for taking a chance on a chubby kid that no others would. The encouragement and the faith you had in me I just can't explain to people how you influenced me. I hope when I am called home you take another chance on me and I get to play the game we so loved together again. I'll miss you buddy. To Jessica, Ben, Cooper and the Davis family I am so sorry for the loss. Your family is in our Prayers “They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.” ~ Williams Penn

Jay,
I was so fortunate to have been able to meet you and spend time with you and your family, and I want to thank you for welcoming me to the Spikes 2 ½ years ago with open arms. I have never met a group a guys that cared about others as much as our team does, and that is a reflection on you. As long as I live I will never forget the summer of 2011 when we won the Spikes Tournament, and after the game my 4 year old son was so excited about the trophy that you walked up to him and said you can have it Buddy! Thank You for all the memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It was an honor to play with/for you for the STL Spikes and against you later while I was with the Printers. I will always remember you as a man with great integrity for life and the game of baseball. You will live forever in the lives you have touched and I will see you on the field of dreams in heaven someday. I think your team is going to be very stacked up there!

My heartfelt condolances to all of the Davis family. Although it has been many years since I have seen anyone in the Davis family, I have a lot of fond memories from the time Jay spent playing baseball for my dad with American National. Jay's name woiuld always come up when talking about "the best of the best" over the 30 years my dad coached. Reading these posts reaffirms why my dad always thought so highly of Jay. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Jay was one of the best coaches I ever played for and one of the best men I've had the priviledge to get to know. I will always remember my summer of 2010 playing with Jay and the spikes as the single greatest summer of baseball I have ever been lucky enough to have. Thank you Jay for welcoming me with open arms, you were a great man and you will be remembered forever as such.

Jay, for the last four years you have given me the opportunity to be part of something very special in the St. Louis Spikes. A winning team is always something special. But the group of guys that you introduced me to and that I have got to know will be part of my life forever. Not only will they be a part of my life forever, you will also be with me forever. In the short time that I have know you, you have shown me so much. I just hope that I am able to affect as many lives in my lifetime as I have seen you affect in the short time that I have known you. Buddy, you will be missed but never forgotten. It really doesn't get better than you as a teammate, coach, and friend.

Jay, I could write a book or one sentence and in no way could I possibly sum up your singular greatness as a person, father, husband, teammate, mentor, and friend. The last 11 years, compared to the first 20 have been my best and its no coincidence that it started at an All-Star game at C&H in 2002 when Schrick introduced us. It's been the best ever since. I miss you so much man. Impossible to forget you. I want to thank you for everything...just everything. You are the GOAT my brother, unanimous choice for the HOF. My family and I express our deepest love and prayers for your entire family. Jay, I love you brother.
