Ricky Davis Obituary
Ricky was preceded in death by his parents Rufus and Ada Davis and brothers in law Russell Gibson and Rick Jones.
Ricky is remembered for being a free spirit. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. He was known to just hop on his bike and ride for hours taking in the surrounding landscape. He enjoyed playing video games, chess and dominoes. He also enjoyed NASCAR...he NEVER missed a race. He took pride in his work as a professional landscaper even taking up mowing the yards of family and friends when it was needed. His final legacy was his courageous battle against cancer. Ricky's impact that he made to make this world more beautiful will be very missed.
Family would like to offer a very special thank you to the amazing staff of Legacy of Kettering. Their kindness and compassion will never be forgotten.
