Jace Anthony Davis

I met jace through IBEW 595 JATC while as an instructor to his apprenticeship

I have many many wonderful memories of Jace. He truly was SPECIAL; from toddler to young man. Jace had a loving caring heart and the world needs more like him. I wish I was making some fudge for him. When he came to visit; just before my big hug, he would ask "Grandma have you got fudge". He always told me "Grandma your the best cook ever". From an early age Jace would try any food (mussels, sushi, chocolate bugs-you name it).

I will never ever stop loving and missing Jace. He brought joy to my life always until the time he passed. You could tell from an early age just how special he was.

I had friends visiting the same weekend I had Jace. The couple visiting never wanted any kids. At the end of their visit they said "more people would have kids if they thought they would get one like Jace".

There is a huge void in my life since Jace passed. I will never stop loving and missing him. I pray I will see him again some day. That song; "Just one more day" says it all. I would give anything to see him again.

I truly have many many wonderful memories of Jace. But, an early example of who he was and who he would become is this--He was about 6 years old and I took him fishing at Scott´s Flat in Nevada City. I felt bad we didn´t catch anything and he said, "it´s okay Grandma, you taught me how to cast so it was a good day". (What six year old talks like that?). I was always able "to feel" Jace´s love. He brought me so much joy during his life; from toddler until the time he passed. Jace was just SPECIAL. He was My Happy Place. I will never stop loving and missing him. I pray I meet him again someday.

It hurts so bad. This poem is from an unknown author.
The moments that I knew you had died, my heart split in two. The one side filled with memories, the other died with you.
I often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, I take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek.
Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday. But, missing you is a heartache that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain. Life has gone on without you but it will never be the same.
For those who still have their children, treat them with tender care. You can´t imagine the emptiness as when you turn and they´re not there.

I miss you so much. Grandma Rose
You were truly my happy place. A wonderful young man.

Grandma McKinleys Poem for Jace
Your smile was so, so big, bright and beautiful; much like your joyful kind spirit so complete
The good memories are bountiful and grand; they make us miss you even more. They do bring us happiness and sustain our grief for brief moments
We miss your laughter, your love and hugs that you so freely gave. A heart so big it overwhelmed us and grew our love everlasting
We will grieve for our loss in all our days to come, but we will find comfort in knowing you would help us if you could
Nature will be missing the wonder of you. Butterflies will pass by and carry us for a brief moment to a place where grief won't follow
There will never be another like you; no one to disagree. You were special from your first day to your last; that we can attest
We have trouble making sense of our great loss. Why we
ask--no answer will be gotten. Maybe heaven needed a cheerleaders loving soul. We shall never no the why.
Though we weep for you and feel a sorrow so deep; our hearts are filled with love for you that will never lessen and will always be kept safe
Let us go through daily life rejoicing in your goodness. Remembering the shared joy, love and laughter. Let us get comfort from your peace and the legacy you left behind. Wherever you were was "a happy place".

NO GRANDMA COULD LOVE HER GRANDSON MORE! THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE YOU. IF THE WORLD HAD MORE OF YOU WE WOULD ALL BE LIVING IN A BETTER PLACE.

I hope some of Jaces close friends post here so we have the memories. Please

Jace was 4 yes old playing Old Maid with G & G. He held the Old Maid up high in his hand "trust me Grandpa, trust me-you want this one". He has always, always been an enjoyable character. Jace will be big in my heart forever. Grandma McKinley

If there were more people like Jace in the world, we would all be living in a better place. He was so good to his Grandma and to everyone. To say he will be missed is an understatement of how I feel. Grandma Rose

I met Jace about 2 years ago when my son in law, Terry Richey, asked Jace to help with our move to Martinez.

At first, I was worried about this young guy being responsible for moving things I had been collecting for years and really cared about. He sure proved me wrong.

His work ethic was unbelievable. Not only was he responsible but took on the role of keeping an eye on the older guy Terry had recruited to help, making sure the guy padded and loaded things carefully.

It took a few days to complete the move and I quickly learned what a great kid Jace was and how much he loved his family as he mentioned them often.

I can´t tell you how often when we were moving things he would tell me how his Mom would like this or that or when I would talk his ear off and he"d say, "Yeh, my Mom says that or does that."

I got to see Jace often after that as we moved across the street from my daughter and son in law, Terry. Terry and Jace were close and Jace was there often.

If it hadn´t been for the move, I may never have got to know this sweet kid.

I am so sorry for this great loss! I am a new teacher at College Park. I have been so touched by this extremely well written tribute. I didn´t know him, but I have a son as well and feel your deep pain. I will pray for your family.

I´m so sorry for your loss

Jace will be forever missed, loved and celebrated.

Jace was 6 years old and Grandma took him fishing. At the end of our adventure he said, "it´s ok Grandma, you taught me how to cast, so it was a good day". Jace was my happy place and I loved him with all of my heart. There will never be another quite like him.

Jace was my nephew and the closest thing I had to my own child. He was everything that was said and so much more to so many people. There just are no words to truly describe how devastating the loss of his life is. He loved unconditionally and that love and energy will be with me always....
