Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lakes Funeral Home on Oct. 1, 2025.
Bryan Reed Davis, age 48, passed away on May 11, 2025, in Lexington, Kentucky. He was born on December 20, 1976, in Louisville, Kentucky.
A proud graduate of MSHS's class of 1995, Bryan furthered his education at EKU, where he earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees. His passion for knowledge was only matched by his entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to become a respected business owner.
Bryan's love for life was evident in his hobbies. He found solace in farming, the simplicity of a good ballgame, and the timeless narratives of westerns. These interests were a testament to his appreciation for tradition and the simple pleasures of life.
He is survived by his loving parents, Kenny and Rita Renfro Davis; his devoted sister, Jill Davis Barnett, and her husband, Heath; and his cherished nephew and niece, Reed and Ginny Lynn Barnett. Bryan's memory will be treasured and his presence deeply missed.
Funeral services will be 11 am, Friday, May 16, 2025 at Berea Church of Christ. Burial will follow in the Robinson Cemetery in Garrard County. Visitation will be Thursday evening from 5 pm to 9 pm at the church. Services will be live streamed at www.lakesfuneralhome.com
Active pallbearers will be Scottie Pennington, Toby Coyle, Joby Watkins, Rusty Robinson, Rodney Renfro, and Junior Worley. Honorary bearers will be Mike and Linda Coyle, Amanda Coyle, Mike Hamm, Reed Barnett, Ginny Lynn Barnett, Ronnie Devere, Wes Williams, Kara Renfro Taylor, Jonathan Day, teammates and classmates from Madison Southern High School.
