Philip Davis Obituary
Known as Scott, he was born in Houston on May 19, 1954, to Phil and Joyce S. Davis. He attended Houston public schools, received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Houston in 1976 and a Medical Doctorate from Texas A&M College of Medicine in 1985.Dr. Davis was certified in Internal Medicine and practiced in Bryan/College Station for about 15 years. He later served at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco and then at the Mexia State Supported Living Center.
Scott was a caring, compassionate, hard-working man who would go the extra mile to make those around him feel loved. In his free time, he enjoyed a humble life and activities involving gardening, automobile restoration, livestock, fishing, and building anything he put his mind to. His humor, easygoing personality, and joyful spirit will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his wife, Denise; two sons, Philip and Charlie; his parents; two brothers, Roger and Mark; and a sister, Diane.
The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff of Hillcrest Hospital.
In lieu of floral arrangements, memorials may be directed to the American Heart Association, Mexia State Supported Living Center Volunteer Council, or a charity of your choice.

I can't believe it's been 9 years since you've been gone. I am so glad that my daughter knew you and that you showed her the love and care that you became known for sharing as a doctor. I witnessed you (ok.. heard you) doing assessments of patients in the ER at Hillcrest when I worked there with you. What I heard was the most detailed and caring assessment I have ever heard and it made me proud to say, "That's my Uncle Scott!"
I miss you and Dad and watching you both dance and continue to play tricks on each other, even as 50 year old men.
Your niece,
Kelli

Compassion and controversy constitute the essence of good medicine. Scott embraced the former and never shied from the latter. I am proud to be his colleague.
