Thomas Davis Obituary
Thomas "Tom" Warren Davis, 58, passed away Monday, June 16th, at his home. Tom was the son of Patricia Davis Kitchen and the late Coach Bobby Davis of Chattanooga. He was a 1985 graduate of Cleveland High School. He went on to further his education at Cleveland State Community College and MTSU. Tom, affectionately known by his friends as "Tommy D," enjoyed his career in restoring and construction of residential and commercial properties. Tom was an avid fan of the Tennessee Vols and all other sports. Tom's life was especially enriched by his trusted K-9 companions "Smoke," "Ash," and "Blackie." His favorite pastime was spent with his daughter decorating for Christmas, both inside and outside his home, preparing firework shows for his family on the Fourth of July, and embarking on personal construction projects.

Wooten, and aunt, Jaqueline Watson. Also left to cherish his memory are his nieces, Sarah Byrd (Jared), Kendall Davis, Maggie and Allie Maples, great niece and nephew, Emma and Ryan Byrd, cousin, Dr. Tannahill Keymer, Kelly Shamblin and several other beloved family members.
