Funeral services will follow at 11 a.m. Burial will take place at Elm Ridge Cemetery, in Muncie, IN, where Mr. Davis will be laid to rest beside his father.
Born in Muncie, IN, on Dec. 4, 2001, Mr. Davis was the beloved son of Scott and Raeanne Davis. From an early age, he possessed a wild-eyed spirit, a strong work ethic and a deep commitment to those he loved. He graduated from Wes-Del High School in 2020, and went on to earn his certification from Southeast Lineman Training Center in 2021.
While attending lineman school, he was awarded the Chad Diffy Memorial Scholarship. Recipients are nominated by their instructors and selected for exemplifying the qualities that defined Diffy’s life: selflessness, kindness, dedication to others and a passion for serving their communities. Those who knew Mr. Davis understood why he was chosen. He lived those values every day.
His greatest ambition was to follow in his father’s footsteps and make him proud. In 2023, he began his career with AMPP Construction, where he found a calling that combined his love for the construction industry with his desire to continue his father’s legacy of service. In his own words, “I feel incredibly proud to be part of such a unique trade that allows me to combine my passion for the construction industry with my dream of carrying on my father’s legacy as a first responder.” Those words reflected the pride, purpose, and determination that guided his life.
Mr. Davis will be remembered not only for his kindness and dedication, but also for the spirited personality that made him unforgettable. He was ornery in the best possible way, always ready with a mischievous grin, a practical joke, or a witty remark that could make anyone laugh. A true daredevil at heart, he never backed down from an adventure and embraced life with courage, confidence and enthusiasm. Whether he was testing limits, chasing excitement, or simply keeping family and friends on their toes, he brought energy and laughter wherever he went. His adventurous spirit, fearless nature, and larger-than-life personality left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Though his time here was far too short, his impact on those around him was immeasurable. He will be remembered for his kind heart, unwavering loyalty, infectious smile, ornery giggle and piercing blue eyes. His legacy of service, compassion and love will continue to live on in the lives he touched.
Mr. Davis leaves behind a family who loved him deeply, including his mother and bonus father, Raeanne and Brandon Ogle; his brothers, Jake (Solomon) of San Diego, CA, and Jack Orebaugh of Nokomis; his sister, Emma (fiancé Josiah) of Nokomis; his paternal grandparents, Tom and Vicki Davis; and his maternal grandparents, Cathy Spears and John Lillie, all of Yorktown, IN. He is also survived by many extended family members; friends; coworkers; and loved ones who will forever cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his father, Scott Davis, in 2011.
