John Joseph Davis, 68, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Sunday, July 16, 2023. He was born on October 24, 1954, in San Jose, California and passed in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Holly Davis; children, Danielle Davis of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Anthony Davis (wife Olivia Davis) of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Joshua Davis, of Fort Smith, Arkansas.

He is preceded in death by his father, Newton Spear Davis of Booneville, AR, brother Jerry Davis and sister, Mary Burnett.

John was an avid outdoorsman, who loved hunting and fishing. He enjoyed sitting in his deer stand, watching the sunrise, and marveling at all of God’s creation. He had numerous hunting buddies that shared in his love of the hunt and adored breeding and raising his Labrador Retrievers, who were always by his side.

John was a successful businessman who owned and ran Davis Floor Covering for nearly 50 years. He was a trusted friend and always the first to help others in need. He never met a stranger, loved to serve the Lord and his church family both locally and globally in the mission field. He boldly said what others were thinking with humor and personality. He loved his friends, family and church family with passion and loyalty and will be missed immeasurably by all that knew and loved him.

Memorial Service will be 11:00 AM Monday, July 24, 2023 at East Side Baptist Church under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
