Keith Davis Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jansen Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services from Jan. 19 to Jan. 20, 2026.
Keith Marshall Davis, a beloved husband, stepfather, nephew, and grandson, passed away on January 14, 2026, at the age of 44. Born on June 10, 1981, Keith's life was one marked by dedication, love, and a remarkable knack for all things mechanical. His family, friends, and colleagues remember him as a loving, handy, and gentle soul, whose presence brought comfort and joy to those around him.

Embracing the role of caregiver over the last 7 years for Melissa the love of his life, they married in 2020. He was also a proud stepfather to Jacob and Nicholas with open arms and an open heart. He found great joy in family life and was a cherished member of a close-knit family that included his Aunt Robin and his beloved Grandma Farmer, cousins Chelsey and Don. Keith was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra, his Grandma Peggy, and his in-laws, Milton and Mary, cousins Eric and Stephen all of whom had a profound impact on his life and to whom he remained deeply connected in spirit.

Professionally, Keith was an aviation mechanic, a career that allowed him to combine his passion for mechanics with his meticulous nature. His colleagues respected him for his expertise, work ethic, and the camaraderie he fostered on the job.

Outside of work, Keith had a variety of interests that he pursued with enthusiasm. He was an avid fan of race car games, which allowed him to indulge in his love for cars and speed in a fun and competitive way. Coloring was another pastime that Keith found relaxing and fulfilling, often losing himself in the intricate designs and patterns that would come to life under his careful hand. But perhaps what he loved most was working on cars. Whether it was a simple fix or a complex restoration, Keith's hands were most at home when they were tinkering under the hood, a testament to his handy and gentle nature.

Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Keith's Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Jansen Family Funeral Home – Columbiaville. Memorial contributions in memory of Keith may be made to the family. Share condolences, pictures, and stories with the family online at www.jansenfuneralhome.com.
