Michael Wayne Davis of Deer Park, Texas, died February 26 in an automobile accident. Michael was born September 15, 1960, attended Deer Park High School, and was a lifelong resident of Deer Park.

As a young man Michael loved sports and participated enthusiastically in baseball and football. He was very intelligent, had a curiosity about all things and loved learning. The Discovery Channel and the History Channel were his two favorites. He was an idealist in many ways and was always an advocate of the underdog. Michael had definite and often surprising views on politics. He was a quiet, gentle man with a tender heart. Michael sustained a disabling injury to his arm and shoulder recently and had endured considerable pain as a result. It is a great comfort to his family to know that Michael and Jake are reunited and Michael is now free of pain.
