Sister Davis and the Davis family, we pray that God will comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time.
Pastor Davis was a special person who ministered to so many, including our ill family member, during his own illness. He related to the oldest through the youngest person through the Word and through his gift of song.
Pastor Davis' positive impact on the Huntsville, Houston, and Spring communities will truly be missed!

To the entire Davis Family.
We would like to extend our sincere sympathy in the loss of Michael Davis, a husband and a father amongst many other titles. Our prayer is that GOD comforts, strengthens, and give you peace in the days ahead. Our fondest memory will be the support that Michael gave his sons by attending all of the Westfield basketballs games encouraging all of the guys to play hard and WIN.
Be encouraged that GOD has promised never to leave us alone. HE will replace your days of sorrow with joyful and fond memories of your husband and father.
Sincerely,
Fred, Diane, Courtney, and Corey Dunham

To this dear family that I've been apart of for 40+ years. There are no appropriate words that would adequately express my feelings. This was my true friend, and I have been very saddened by his passing. I am comforted by knowing he is now with the Lord and his suffering has ended. Deborah, I love you and I am in prayer for you constantly. This absence is strong, and it's gong to take time. "Mike D" as I called him fought as hard as anyone I've even seen. He held on until he couldn't anymore. Deb, hold on to God's unchanging hand. He will comfort you, and rock you in his arms. Cry all the tears you need to...it's okay...Jesus wept. Michael, II, Mark, Marlon, Matthew, your dad was among God's finest. He served God faithfully, and he has truly left his footprints in the sand, and impacted people around the globe. He loved his wife and family. Let your memories bring you peace. Myself along with my family-Earline, and Val offer our sincere condolences, and pray for your strength in these days and weeks to come. WE TRULY LOVE YOU!

To Debra and the Boys: Many prayers are going up for your strength, His grace, and His mercy. Everyone who knew Rev. Davis, loved him. Everyone who knows you, loves you. You are the epitome of graciousness and beauty, and your family has always been an excellent example of love, friendship, and what God intends for families everywhere. Rev. Davis was a truly anointed pastor, a man of God, a great father, a wonderful husband, and a great leader. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I pray that you will keep living the life that God has before you. You are such an inspiration to and for Black women and Black families. Much love.

Sis. Davis,
My sincere prayer is that you keep the faith with blessed assurance that, " this too will
pass!"
Motivating you as dad (Mr.
Archie) often did Pastor Davis
with his sincere witnessing, "go
doc!"
"Keep on keeping on Sis. Davis!" Michael would NOT desire you give up now......we're cheering you on!
