I was saddened to learn of George's death from a fellow co-worker. George's gentle spirit, light heart in the face of many challenges, and love for his family are evidence of his love for Our Lord Jesus. George "walked the walk", tough to do, but he did it. My condolences to the Davis family and to all who will miss George's shining light.

I am so saddened by the news of George's passing. I had no idea that he had gone home to be with our Father. I have known George for years and during that time, each and every time I would see him I got a warm smile, some kind words, and saw the evidence of Gods love. You will be greatly missed George....

Minister Davis was a beautiful person who had a kind word for everyone he met. I think my mom put it best when she said " If we dont know anything else about Minister Davis its that he knew 66 books....and he loved them all." In church he started every sentence in reference to the Bible with "my favorite scripture"....I have had the pleasure of knowing Minister Davis since before I was a teenager and at a young age I knew that he loved the Lord with all his heart.
He will be missed by all who knew him.Heaven has just welcomed their friendliest angel. May God continue to bless his family. May God comfort you in this your time of need as we all struggle to accept and understand.

I know you're with our Father now, so my heart will be at rest when I don't see you and your smile just inside those doors at walmart, I do however, look forward to seeing you again. My prayers go out to all of George's friends and family, may God Bless You!

Minister Davis was a caring and godly man. His consistent prayers on my behalf during my recent illness comforted my wife and myself. When I was in the hospital and upon my return home, Minister Davis called weekly to read the scripture to me. Those calls always brightened my spirit. May God be with his family during this difficult time. Minister Davis will truly be missed.

Dear family, Faye and Bob,
I just want you all to know what a light and a blessing George always was to me. I would see him all over the place but mostly in Walmart of course. He always expressed the love of the Lord just with his sincere greeting and exchange. I will really miss seeing him but I am so happy that we share the same faith and I know the Lord has a special crown for him! Bless all of you. Sincerely, Kahnema Melkesian

I will miss my big brother, and close friend. I will miss the comfort he gave with his beautiful spirit, only few possess. The wonderful words of encouragement he would speak from his "favorite scripture of bible."

He will be missed, but not forgotten. May the Lord bless the Davis family during this difficult transition, and continue to keep them in His love and care.

Minister Davis fought a good fight, finished his course, he kept the faith.

I look forward in seeing my brother in glory, and continue our wonderful fellowship in the presence of the Lord!
