Bengamin Neil Davis, age 40, of Shelbyville, TN passed from this life Thursday, June 20, 2024.
Bengamin was born May 19, 1984, in Heidelberg, Germany to Gredi Gaifer Leams and Dieter Leams.
Originally from Germany, Bengamin's mother moved them to the U.S. after he was 9 months old and landed in Tennessee. He was a graduate of Eagleville High School class of 2003. He worked for many years in construction and excavation as a heavy equipment operator until he was unable due to health concerns. He recently began working as a dietary cook.
Bengamin was a loving and caring individual, that always took the time to help anyone in need and never met a stranger. He always tried to make the people around him happy; either by helping or making them laugh.
Along with his parents he is survived by his loving wife Virginia Ann Ferrell Davis of Shelbyville; son, Josiah Davis; sister, Mary Ann Harris and husband Jonathan of VA.
His family chose cremation and his ashes will be scattered at his favorite spot by the creek behind his home. A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
Doak-Howell Funeral Home is serving the family.
