Christopher Davis

Williamston - Christopher Blake Davis of Williamston, Michigan left this world on March 25, 2021. Chris was born in Coldwater, Michigan on March 14, 1962, to Jeannine and Bernie Davis, their second child. The family moved to Williamston when Chris was in middle school, and he graduated from Williamston High School. Chris regularly attended Williamston home football games in the fall and was a proud alum of WHS.

Chris always loved music and played guitar and keyboards, and while he was in his twenties, performed, with his band in the mid-Michigan area, and toured in southern states.

Chris's beautiful daughter McKenna was the love of his life and he cherished his time with her. He purchased and renovated a camper and they traveled up to northern Michigan whenever they could. For three wonderful summers, he left the camper at his brother Tim's place on Whitmore Lake, making great family memories, as McKenna and her cousins filled their days with swimming, boating, and hanging together.

Chris moved back to Williamston to live with and help his mother manage her large home, particularly maintaining the outside yard. He was always generous and kind, lending a hand to neighbors with snow removal after some of the bigger storms or other chores. Chris became self-employed and created Davis Lawn Care; his equipment, especially his stand-up and riding lawn mowers were always top-of-the-line quality.

Chris was a diehard Michigan State fan and flew the Spartan flag much of the year, especially during football and basketball seasons. He was happiest with friends and family, having a few beers and enjoying good food. Chris will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

Chris was predeceased by his father Bernard Davis and is survived by his daughter McKenna, his mother Jeannine Davis of Williamston, sister Kimberley (Dave Little) of Indianapolis, brother Timothy (Sheila) of Whitmore Lake, and nephews Jordan, Adam and Averey, and niece Heather, as well as special friends the Paul and Shellie Finn family.

The Davis family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the charity of your choice in memory of Christopher Davis.
