Billy Lee Davis, Sr

Daniel 12:3 “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.”

   William Lee Davis Sr., also known as Billy Lee Davis, Brother Billy, Uncle Billy, Dad, & Papa left a legacy, and set an example for us all to try and follow. He was dedicated to his family and was always there when we needed him. He graduated from Hall Summit High School where he later became a schoolteacher, principal, basketball coach, and a devoted friend to many throughout the years. He was a Pastor, a Chaplin at Christus Coushatta Hospital, a deacon, a mentor to many, went on many mission trips through the years, and above all he was a devoted disciple for Jesus.

    Papa touched many lives. His devotion and love for Christ was always evident in all he did, everywhere he went, and to everyone he talked to. No one ever doubted his love or worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He brought many people to Christ by not only telling them about the love of Jesus but also by setting the example to follow. He will shine like the stars forever.

  He was born on January 17, 1936 in Red River Parish and went to his heavenly home July 23, 2025.  

  Papa was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Melba Davis, wife, Bettie Ann Davis and sisters, Virginia Adams, Dorothy Keller, and Margaret Wood.
