The shocking news of Lloyd’s death was devastating. Since I was recovering from surgery and unable to drive, I couldn’t get to the church for his services. This hurt me terribly because I wanted the opportunity to share with Lloyd and with his family my love, respect, and admiration for him. I remember Lloyd’s strong and gentle hugs. I remember the drumming circles. I remember the way he looked into my eyes, saw who I really was, and gave me the unconditional love that my healing needed. I remember his phone calls as my chaplain. Our praying together was always comforting. And when I wasn’t at home, he left a prayer on my voicemail … a surprise blessing for when I returned.

Knowing that I will never see him again in this lifetime is still painful to me, but having known him in this lifetime will always be a blessing.

My love and support to all of Lloyd’s loved ones.

Dear Family and friends of Dr.Lloyd Davis, I am so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I was a patient at Davis Chiropractic and held Dr. Davis in high regard. He was so friendly and thourough in his care. I was a relatively new patient and was seen by Dr. Fish, but I always looked forward to the days when Dr. Davis filled in for him. He had an expert manner in his adjustment style which reassured me and impressed me tremendously. He was one of the best Chiropractors I've ever had the pleasure of recieving treatment from. God gave him magic hands which will be sorely missed. All of my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you in this time of unexpected loss.With fond memories,I will keep him in my prayers. Sincerely, Julie Bovenzi Dayton Ohio.

To the Davis family......I hope that the love and caring of the countless people Dr. Davis' life touched will help you in the days to come. My children and I were patients at the Davis Chiropractic Clinic and he helped us in so many ways. He was always willing to come in if we were having a real problem and adjust us. Most of all, he helped us with his uplifting attitude, great faith in God, and gentle ways. We not only thought of him as our doctor, but as a friend. I saw him about two months ago, and he was so looking forward to opening the new DOC clinic. Your entire family will continue to be in our prayers....especially the girls who he was so very proud of. Fondly, Mike and Joanna Beam, Lori, Brian and Chris Endres

Lloyd, you will live on through my hands to touch and heal thousands. Your mentorship meant more to me than you will ever know. I will never forget you, your legacy, your principles, and what you stand for. This event has put many things in perspective for myself, and undoubtedly many others. My prayers go out to those around you, including the people who will no longer be able to experience your life-giving adjustments. I hope to see you again in the future, brother.

It started out as a normal Wednesday for me, seeing patients, just as Lloyd and I had done thousands of times over the last 25+ years. Lloyd in Dayton, and for me, Norman, Oklahoma. I returned from lunch to hear the unbearable news that one of my good friends was gone. Lloyd, Mark Cobleigh and myself shared a 3 bedroom duplex just blocks from Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa. Three young guys from Michigan and Ohio,chasing the same dream of being a doctor. I remember what a thrill it was for us to find a duplex close to the college, but better, it had it's own private swimming pool. Lloyd loved that pool. I still remember day after day coming home and Lloyd would be in the water, wild like a kid, just enjoying life to the fullest. That was Lloyd, so full of life. I still say he was the reincarnation of Will Rogers, because Lloyd loved people unconditionally and found good in everyone. Never met a person he didn't like. The three of us had a unique bond, and like a great team, each had a special support role that somehow kept us all on course during the stress of the college challenge. It is true, those are the best years of your life. It is funny to hear people say time flies, but it does, it seems like just yesterday I saw him graduate and head back to his dream, treating patients in a clinic with his true life hero, his father Dr. Blaine Davis. Although Lloyd went home, I went to Oklahoma, and Mark went to Nebraska, nothing changed except the miles between us. The caring and brotherhood never changed. Lloyd and I would surprise each other and it was always a special treat for my "little brother" to catch me off guard with an unexpected phone call. A few years ago I surprised him with a visit as I was passing through Dayton, and as all of us know, just sharing time with Lloyd was like visiting the fountain of youth, he invigorated you, he inspired you, and he touched your soul like a smiling angel. Every holiday season, I received a beautiful card and note from Lloyd. This year included a copy of a favorite picture he had taken some years ago. It sits on my desk in front of me as I write this note and think of my friend. On Monday I had the strongest urge to schedule a surprise visit to Dayton early next month. I wish I could change the world and make that trip to see him, and he be there. Although Lloyd is gone from our presence, he will always be with me in spirit and memory. I am sad today, not because of the loss, but because of the separation. I will miss hearing him laugh and making me feel alive with his "Lloyditis". He was the best. In the balance of life there is good and bad, and although this is a tragedy to lose Lloyd, I can smile knowing he is happy and living his dream again, treating patients with his dad, Dr. Blaine. Lloyd, you made everyone's life better and special. In knowing you, we are blessed and we are better people because you showed us how to love and enjoy life. You shared your gift with us and gave us the example to follow. My prayers go out to Lloyd's family, and especially his children. God Bless and God Speed little brother, I will miss you.

Rev. Lisa & Family

Please know that I send you my love and my prayers. December 26, 1999 one of the most painful moments in my life I called Unity and Lloyd answered the phone. He let me know that he loved me and prayed for me and my family right then (The Power of NOW) on the phone and I will never forget that. May God Bless you and your family. And I send you that wonderful hug and warm smile that I got every Sunday that I saw Lloyd.

Dear Davis family, I am Dr. Ron Tripp's sister and I remember Lloyd coming to our home in Michigan and also seeing him when we went to Palmer. He was always such a nice, refined, polite and easy guy to be around. He made friends easily and I knew he'd be successful in his practice. He had a good heart. May all the love and support of those around you, and your faith in God, give all of you the strength to get through this trying time in your lives.

Lloyd waved goodbye when we left for Alaska. I had always hoped to see him again when I returned. It saddens me deeply to think that will never happen. My heart goes out to his family and friends - we have all lost a dear man. May he be forever at peace.

Namaste.......

I am speechless. Lloyd Davis was a very generous and giving person and will be missed terribly. He was a true inspiration to me and I'm so thankful I had the priviledge of working in his chiropractic office for nearly 10 years. His passion for chiropractic was admired and never duplicated. I thank God this man was a part of my life and appreciate his sense of humor, dedication and generousity. My love goes out to his family. He will be missed!

I not only had the benefit of receiving Chiropractic Care from Lloyd, but I also had the pleasure of working with him for several years. He is someone that I have admired greatly, and knowing him has changed my life in many ways! I will cherish the many memories I have of working with him, traveling to chiropractic seminars, silly jokes at the office, roller skating, gatherings with our families and the great advice and loving support that he always gave. There will never be another Chiropractor or Man as great as him. His loss will be felt by all those who knew him, and my regret will be not having that last chance to tell him the difference he has made in my life.
