Thomas Jeffrey "Jeff" Davis, 68, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Over the years, Jeff courageously overcame multiple health setbacks before peacefully slipping into eternity surrounded by his family and close friends.

Jeff was born on August 20, 1956, to George C. and Billie Fae Davis in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he spent most of his childhood days. He graduated from Richard King High School in 1974. After attending Del Mar College, he moved to the Houston area.

Jeff began his 45 year career in the valve industry with KTM Valve in 1980. He further worked at Gulf Tex Valve, Flowserve, and Crane. In 2008, Jeff joined Process Resources, where he remained a valued member of the team until his passing. Over the years, Jeff was blessed with many wonderful colleagues and customers.

In 1999, Jeff met Jennifer Friedel, and they were married July 6, 2002. Their son, Austin, was born two years later, on March 27, 2004. Austin remained the apple of his dad's eye as he grew up, and Jeff was always so incredibly proud of him and his many accomplishments. As a family they enjoyed many adventures to the beach, baseball games and fossil hunting.

Jeff was an avid sports fan, following his favorite teams- the Houston Astros and Houston Texans. He grew to love the Texas Aggies and Pittsburgh Steelers through the influence of his wife, Jennifer. He also developed a love for photography which became a favorite hobby.

Jeff was a deeply knowledgeable and trusted professional respected by his colleagues. He was a beloved friend, uncle, brother, husband, and dad. He was greatly cherished by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
