Although my heart is broken, I can't help but smile at the Memory of Jon. I can remember seeing him the night before he went home to be with the lord. He was wrestling around my front yard with Paris and shining that beautiful smile. I loved Jon like a brother he is a part of my family. Miranda I love you like a sister,( well actually you are my Sis) I can't imagine the pain of loosing a little brother, or a son. I don't know what to say or do but know that every night I am one room away no matter what time it is. Jon left a Legacy that Julie you and Elmon should be proud of. Jon touched every life he was ever a part of. He was truly a wonderful person with a heart made of gold. I love him and and He has left a lasting impression on myself as well as my children who loved him like he was their big brother. My life has been truly touched by an angel the day I met Jon D. Davis. In my thoughts daily now and forever. Love You Jon!!!

To have a brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandson, and friend taken from so many people that loved and adored you in such a tragic way is not an easy situation to overcome.

Jon,
You had an amazing sense of humor and you had the ability to make anyone, no matter what mood they were in, laugh. From the first moment I met you in Mr.Page's health class, one of my favorite things about you was that you were always smiling. In every class I had with you at Massillon, you always had me laughing and I want to thank you for that. To Jon's Family- you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of such a great person. My prayers are with you all.

C and R Mayle

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I'm so sad we didn't have more time to get to know you better. Scott loved going riding with you. He always said you were a good dude that was always positive and encouraging to everyone. I always thought you were so handsome with those bright blue eyes and gorgeous smile. You were good with all the kids and so much fun to be around. I pray the Lord brings peace to the hearts of the many you've touched and left behind.
