DAVID RAGLAND DAVIS

Will always miss my fifth cousin David. Lovely gentleman and friend. I treasure his memory and mourn his loss.

I will always miss my fifth cousin David. We met online, collaborated on a genealogy book about our common ancestress Rebecca Bowe Ragland which is now in the Library of Congress for future generations and became fast friends. He and Adrienne And Carol took me to Idlewild Pres when I came to Memphis. They even visited us in SouthCarolina. I still miss him. I look forward to a great reunion with my dear friend in heaven.

Dr. Davis was my first principal when he opened Memphis Prep in 1973; I was his French and Spanish teacher. He was a devoted and enthusiastic administrator. My condolences to Adrienne and Scott.

David was my fifth cousin and dear friend. We met online doing genealogy research. We collaborated in several projects. One day when I was visiting Memphis, he took me to the cemetery where he and his family would be buried and showed me his tombstone. I miss him very much. A true gentleman in every respect who loved his family very much.

Although having never met Dr. Davis, I can recall his son's (Scott) good-hearted, deep-voiced imitation of him -full of respect and admiration. I miss Scott and sincerely miss the opportunity at having one day met his father.

I never met Mr. Davis and knew him only through his scholarly contributions to preserving and sharing the history of the Davis, Ragland, and Bowe families and through our brief correspondence a decade ago.

He will be remembered by unborn generations with gratitude for his generosity and foresight in preserving our shared identity.

Dear family of Dr. Davis
Mr. Davis was my Senior English Teacher at Whitehaven High School. What I remember most about him was that he always encouraged me to do my best. I graduated from Memphis State and went on to achieve Masters Degrees in many teaching areas. He was the very best.

Dr. Davis will be missed dearly by all here at Christian Brothers University, and especially here in the Department of Education. His legacy lives on!

Adrienne, Sending you sympathy in the loss of your husband.
