James Davis Obituary
James Cole Davis
January 21, 1985 – January 19, 2025
James Cole Davis, 39, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 19, 2025, two days before his fortieth birthday.
A celebration of life service will be held at 10:00 AM, Thursday, January 23, 2025, at Trinity Fellowship Church with Rev. Bob Epperson, officiating. A burial will follow at 2:00 PM, Thursday, January 23, 2025, at the Alanreed Cemetery, in Alanreed, TX, under the direction of Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors and Crematory.
James will be available for viewing from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, Tuesday and 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM on Wednesday at the funeral home.
James was born in Pampa on January 21, 1985, to Charles and Linda Davis. He grew up and attended Skellytown school before graduating from White Deer in 2003. From there he enlisted in the Air Force from 2006 to 2008. James was enrolled at Frank Phillips College in Borger pursuing an associate’s degree in instrumentation and was on track to graduate in May 2025.
There are no words to describe the light both breathed into and emitted from James on the day he became father to Bailey Renee’ Davis, born December 30, 2008, and Faye Emily Davis, born February 29, 2016, and Jameson Charles Davis on December 15, 2021. James met, the love of his life, Whitney Brummett in 2015 and married her on June 11, 2022.
James is preceded in death by his father, Charles Davis; uncles, Terry Boaz and Gary Boaz; aunt, Debbie Gooch; paternal grandparents, Jean and Neal Monk, and maternal grandparents, Coene and Don Hunter.
James is survived by his wife, Whitney and children, Bailey, Faye, and Jameson of the home; mom, Linda Davis, and partner David Helms of Pampa; brothers, Chris Davis of Amarillo and Michael Hickman of Palestine; sisters, Dana Davis of Pampa and Lori Kotara and husband Kent of Pampa; aunts, Dianne Wiltgen and Norma Bicknell and husband Ronky; uncles, Ronnie Boaz, Asa Boaz, Danny Boaz, David Boaz, and Ricky Boaz; countless close cousins; numerous nieces and nephews; and other extended family members. James was a friend to all and a true light in this world. This loss of life is unfathomable, sudden, and absolutely crushing.
