Jay Vernon Davis

Not only was Jay my coach at Ector High He was a close friend.

Coach Davis will always be remembered by many people not only as "Coach" but as friend. He always brought out the best is whoever he was coaching, teaching or just hanging around. In later years we always enjoyed seeing him at the "Ector Reunions". It seems like he awlays remembered everyone.

Mr. Davis was my principal at Fannin Elementary from 1973-1978. What a wonderful role model. He was a towering man to a 2nd grader, but I remember seeing him knelt down often to talk to one of us. He always had a joke and a smile. I actually made it to the 6th grade before I was sent to his office for punishment. He had to give me licks, he told me it hurt him to do it because he knew I was better than this bad behavior. I cried before the paddle swung because of those words. He barely even...

Our prayers are with Jay's family. What a wonderful life. It must be comforting to know that he is no longer suffering. May God bless you and your memories of Jay.

I have lost one of my heros. I will always remember the man who took the time to pay attention to a grade schooler and even gave him a nick name "Grasshopper" because he said my three point stance looked like a grasshopper. He even came to hear me talk at ther chamber of comermers banquet in McCamey. Of all the people that were there I was the happest to see Jay V. I will miss him. Aaron Cranford class of 1956 MHS
