The deepest sympathy I extend to the family of Curtis "Big Mello Davis".
I met Curtis many years ago through his mother Liz whom I worked with. We talked about our children and what not and when she told me her son was in the entertainment business I inquired even more about Curtis because I had once been heavily in the entertainment business and still a musician. Curtis was always busy of course and on the go, working on making things happen but sometimes when he was in the area of my salon, visiting at the record store next door checking on the business of his music he would stop in and talk a while with me. His career was very young at this point and he was always optimistic and had a smile on his face, also of course he was about the business of putting a smile on everyone around him's face. However brief each time I spoke with him or saw him sometimes dashing in and out at his mom's he was always happy.
The news of his homecoming came by way of my son to me and it was most startling. Liz and Tammy I embrace you and encourage you to know that you will see him again. To his wife and children remember that God will always make a way and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay strong all of you and be blessed. Liz please call me if you just need to talk or if there is anything that I can do to aid in your time of bereavement. (713) 440-9709 or (713) 676-9241

I first knew him by Curtis. Tammy and Curtis was so close to me that we considered ourselves cousins. We grew up in Almeda Plaza and went from Petersen to Dowling and Madison together. My mom made a batman cake for one of Curtis' birthdays and he loved it so that he would still talk about that cake 5 years later. When his first album came out he was so happy he was giving away free copies. I asked him how do you expect to make money if you're giving the album away, he thought about it and asked me for $10.
My heart dropped when I heard he was gone, the light that shined so bright for so long is gone. He touched so many, so deeply that he will live on, through his children, friends, family and music.
I love and miss you Curtis.....

To the family of Curtis Davis. He will be truly missed by my family and friends. He was an inspiration to me when I was growing up in Almeda Plaza. I will always remember the good times. From concert to concert to the time he and baldhead made a tape at my house. My deepest sympathies go out to your family and his wife and kids.

Tammy,
My many blessings are with you and your sons. You have my deepest condolences. I remember all the crazy ways Curtis would always make the gang laugh (me, Greg, Tammy(Cali)and Charlie) back in the day. One thing about it, he most definitely have the angels in stitches in heaven. God did bless you with two little men to carry Curtis' name and to take care of you like Curtis use to say he was going to do when he made it BIG. If you ever need a place to escape, DC is waiting on you girl.
Love ya,
Donna and my lil one Mykaiah

Curtis, I'll miss you dearly. You gave me the rap name of "Lez Mone" nearly 13 years ago and many, many people know me only as such.
A true friend in deed. I framed your obiturary, picture and the rose from the casket today, I'll hang it on my wall.
I went to the scene where this all happened and left you a flower - after, I went to visit your Mother again for the first time in a long time. She is well considering.
I am thankful that I had the opportunity to be your friend. your friendship was truly a blessing from GOD. I'll miss you dearly.
Tammi (wife) and kids if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to call - I know that Curtis would do the same for me.
May God Bless You All

My deepest condolences to the Davis family. Curtis was a great friend to all who knew him. He was the first person to ever support me when it was my first time on stage, performing in front of a crowd. He even beatboxed for me as well as gave encouraging words. Even though he is no longer with us, those that knew him can still hear him in our hearts.

To the Davis Family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you. This is a great loss. At this time you feel a big loss and your heart hurts deeply. Time will heal all wounds. Now you feel that it will hurt forever. I just recently loss my Father on June 3, 2002. I feel a deep loss and I would like to shre a poem that I found.
Sleep, little brother, far from pain.
Water smooths out in the river
As memory calms the chaos
You left behind. Rest easy Daddy,
Your babies are older than you ever were.
Even the stain will fade
When none are left to remember
The calls for help you never made.
After burning, blackberry, bushes
Struggle up through ash, and love, resilient,
Blooms in all seasons, even for you
Who suffered and could not tell what was right
As you hurled yourself, suddenly
Spiraling upward to darkness or light.

To A Beautiful Person (Tammy)
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose... your heart.
Face it friend, He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears,
and light for the way.

Mello-
I haven't seen you in awhile, and I hate to think I won't see you for a while longer. I know you are in Heaven now because the love of your friends sent you there. I passed the spot where you left us and just to see the love from the hood made me feel good. Never a bad thing to say about anyone, you were a gem. My best memory is of you, me and my cousin Shelly in Surside, when "Sprinke Me" came out and we were cruisin' in my Jeep and you "Sprinkled" everybody. that still brings a smile to me. I think i still have your hat you left in my Jeep. if not, I still have your love in my heart. Peace, Love, blessin's...hope to see you in Heaven.

I first met Curtis in 1979 when we played football for the Brentwood Dolphins in Hiram Clark, and after our first day of practice, I instantly knew I had made a friend for life and he gave me a nick name that he still called me by after 23 years "Horse". I am unshamed to say that I was biased when listening to him perform, I was a huge supporter of his I took his first album international even before he did, as I was stationed in Japan at the time.The first album to the last was special to me because, I did'nt know Jay-Z or DMX but I knew Big Mello aka Curtis Davis and his struggle to get where he did and I was a witness to God's work in progress through this young man our hearts are heavy our eyes are filled with tears, Tammie,Andy,and Chad I know your burden is heavy but stay strong. I will miss Curtis but I will visit him in my mind. May God Bless and Keep all of the Davis family and friends.

To the Family of Curtis Davis,
I would like to extend my condolences. In times like these, it's perfectly normal to question God. But remember that we all have an appointed time here on earth. When it's time,God calls us home. Just find comfort in knowing that God plucked one of his flowers from this flowerbed that we call life. Curtis is joking and clowning at this very moment. In knowing Curtis as long as I have,I know that he wouldn't want us crying for long. That just isn't the way Curtis lived. He would want us to remember him and what he was trying to do. Curtis lived through his music and we will always have them to remember him. The wonderful part is that we will get to see Curtis again. "Weep not, Weep not, for he is not dead, he is resting in the bosom of Jesus." May God continue to give you comfort during this difficult time.
I Love you all,

It seems like only yesterday when Curtis and I were in Kindergarten at Peterson Elementary and he would get in trouble for pulling my ponytails!

May God bless and comfort you all.

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to Tammi, the kids, Ms. Liz and Tammy. Continue to stay prayerful, that will see you through these melancholy times. It seems like I've been knowing Curtis all my life, before he ever thought of being Big Mello, from elementary on to adulthood. We grew up in the same neighborhood. (AP) Curtis was always making you laugh. He always had jokes or something to say about you. He was a very high spirited person. It's been hard to come to grips with just accepting the fact that he's no longer physically going to be here. I am truly sadden by the lost of Curtis and the fact that he didn't truly get to see his music fully go to the level that he diligently worked for. He was a talented man and will truly be missed. I send my blessing to The Davis Family.

My prayers go out to Liz, Tammey and his wife and kids along with the rest of his family. I grew up with Curtis and Tammey in the Plaza and we attended grade school thru high school together. Curtis was always singing and clowning and he will be missed. I'm just still in shock because I just talked to Curtis for about 2 hours in Erv's Klip Joint about a month ago and he was telling me all about his wife and sons. Tammey he was proud of being married and about working on his next album. God does things for a reason that we may never know or understand, but God is a Good God and he will see you through this. You will see Curtis again. May he rest in peace.
Love

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to the Davis family. God allowed my father Darnell and Curtis' mother Liz to become good friends along the years and in return Curtis and Tammy became my brothers' and I cousins. I know that we have not seen each other in years but from the entire Rowe family we send our prayers.

Know that God shall wipe all of your tears away and weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

You will be missed homie!
