Obituary
Timmy Davis Sr. loved coal mining - and when he wasn't doing that, he was out hunting and fishing.
"My dad was the best hunter and fisher you've ever seen. The biggest buck or bear would come to him so he could shoot them," said Timmy Davis Jr. "He's got five or six in here. He's killed a lot of big deer."
The elder Davis' wife of 30 years, Diana, said he and two nephews - Josh Napper, 27, and Cory Davis, 20 - were killed in the blast. Davis Jr. said his uncle Tommy Davis and brother Cody Davis also were at the mine at the time and survived the blast.
Cody Davis and his father were best friends, Davis Jr. said. Cody Davis was on his way in at the time of the blast, said Davis Jr., who works as a coal truck driver.
"He loved to work underground," the younger Davis said of his father. "He loved that place."
Timmy Davis Sr. was one of 29 miners killed April 5, 2010 by a huge explosion in an underground coal mine owned by Massey Energy Co. in West Virginia - the worst U.S. mining disaster since 1970.
