Davis was such a champ. Always smiling and laughing and of course SCREAMING!!! I don't know how he didn't lose his voice he was always so loud and happy. I remember one time I was trying to take a picture with someone at church and Davis literally jumped into every single one of them and photobombed us. He had such a great sense of humor and just a love for life. Melissa and Heidi, it has been my absolute privelage to spend time with you Sunday nights at MS small group. I have learned so much from both of you. I am incredibly sorry for your loss, but I am so greatful for all of the amazing memories I have of Davis. Love you man
