John Davis, born on June 24, 1965, in Lubbock, Texas, journeyed through life with a spirit as vibrant as the canvas he loved to paint upon. A son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend, he passed away peacefully on April 21, 2025, leaving behind a rich tapestry of memories woven from countless moments shared with those who loved him dearly.
John’s life was marked by a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit that saw him chart his own path from an early age. Starting his career moving houses alongside his father during his high school years, he carried forward the legacy of hard work instilled in him. He served for several years with Coca Cola before founding his own business, where he stocked first-aid kits and supplied vending machines with medicines and miscellaneous supplies. His last venture led him to haul pump parts for Pump Group in Wolfforth, TX. John approached every endeavor with dedication and a twinkle in his eye, earning respect for his tenacity and skill in each role he embraced.
Education held a cherished place in his heart; a proud graduate of Friendship High School and South Plains College, John always valued the knowledge and opportunities he gained from his studies. He was a dreamer, envisioning a world where creativity and craftsmanship melded seamlessly together, a testament to which can be seen in his various hobbies. He enjoyed drawing and painting, capturing the beauty he saw around him.
For several years, John indulged in the craft of taxidermy, skillfully preserving nature’s moments in time. Hunting and fishing were not merely pastimes; they were channels through which he bonded with family and friends. An unforgettable highlight of his adventures was the day he and his father and brothers collectively held the record for the biggest catfish caught at Lake Allen Henry, weighing nearly 60 pounds—a tale recounted with pride in gatherings that celebrated family and storytelling.
John had an undeniable passion for collecting coins and rocks, each artifact a story in itself. There was an earthy joy in picking up pecans, and his garden reflected the care and love he put into nurturing every blossom. By his side through toils and triumphs was his faithful dog, Jack, a loyal companion who shared the warmth of summer days and the stillness of quiet evenings in their shared sanctuary.
He leaves behind a legacy that will echo in the hearts of many. He is survived by his beloved mother, Linda Davis; his siblings Jeff Davis and his wife Sabrina, Jerry Davis, and Jamie Davis; along with numerous nieces and nephews who will carry forward his memory, each with their unique stories of laughter, wisdom, and tender moments shared.
While John now rests alongside his father, Jimmie Davis, whose spirit lives on in the tales shared and memories cherished, those who knew him are left to navigate the world with a little more color and kindness—qualities that defined John Davis. His presence, though no longer seen, will forever resonate in the laughter of friends and the warmth of family gatherings.
