Darnell Larry Davis, 34, of Auxvasse, Missouri, passed away on August 24, 2025. He was born on October 11, 1990, to Bonnie Davis and Dana Weston.
Darnell was full of life and known for his vibrant personality. He had a passion for art, often expressing himself through painting, drawing, and tattoos. A free spirit with a big heart, Darnell loved spending time with his family and especially cherished moments with his children. He brought joy and laughter wherever he went - always cracking jokes, making people smile, and living life to the fullest. He also enjoyed the occasional gambling, embracing fun and excitement whenever he could.
Darnell was preceded in death by his father, his grandfather Barry Weston, and his aunt Diana Weston.
He is survived by his beloved children, Davon Davis and Drake Davis; his mother, Dana Weston; his brothers, Damin Davis, and Jonathan Mori; his sisters, Latasha Davis, Christy Holman, Alisha Sweezer and Melissa Williams; his grandparents, Donna Weston and Leroy and Albertha Nicholson; his aunts, Dawn Dudley and Debbie Santana; his uncle, James Weston; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, his best friend of over 20 years Andrew, close friends Kristen and Desirae, and many extended family members and friends who will deeply miss his presence.
Darnell's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
