Michael V. Davis

1993 - 2020

Michael V. Davis, 26, of Manor, passed away Wednesday, June 24, 2020. He was born July 3, 1993, in Monroeville, a son of Mike and Linda Davis. He attended California University, where he made lots of friends and started working in landscaping. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, James Comunale. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Jonathan Davis; sister, Emily (Anthony) Runco; grandparents, Bernadette Comunale, J. Keith (Diana) Davis and Mary Ruth (Ward) Kelsey; numerous aunts, uncles, and relatives; as well as special friends, Dave, Ashley, Nicole, CJ, and Alexandra. Michael had an inherent idealism and eternal optimism that fueled his zest for life. He spread this zest to everyone he met. Addiction ended Michael's life, but his light will shine forever. Michael was "just a guy trying to make the world a better place," as his Facebook biography reads. Everyone who knew him would agree that phrase is fitting. After years of struggle, Michael lost his battle with addiction. Throughout his war, he never let it define him. His goal was always to help people through difficult times. Michael was the type of person to go out of his way just to make someone smile. He was beaming with positivity and was determined to be the best version he could be. He enjoyed a variety of things, such as watching sports, learning to play guitar, hanging out with friends and family, and listening to music--especially (the band) Dance Gavin Dance.
