Benjamin Davis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
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.
