From Mom: In Memory Of

Reese William Davis passed away February 17th at 11:00 PM. He spent most of his final day being held by his mommy and daddy, and passed away peacefully on his own, in his mommy’s arms.

In his short five days on Earth, he touched the lives and felt the love of hundreds. I’m going to use this time to think about what I think he would have accomplished if he had stayed with us.

He won seven Masters Tournaments, four Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning, multiple World Series on the Atlanta Braves before being traded to the Tampa Bay Rays. He is the only person ever to be in the NFL, NHL, MLB, the PGA Tour, and win multiple Grand Slam Tennis Tournaments simultaneously. He finally won the Atlanta Falcons a Super Bowl.

He graduated from Georgia Southern University just like his mommy and daddy. He also went on to graduate from The University of Florida and Florida State University, as he had spent his entire life cheering for both of them. He won National titles in football for all three.

He was an astronaut and also found a cure for many diseases. He was elected President of the United States but decided against taking on the role as he felt he had better things to do.

Reese wrote seven New York Times Bestsellers and won the Scripps National Spelling Bee multiple times.

But in reality, he was a sweet, precious boy who was loved fiercely by his mommy and daddy, as well as many others. He was too perfect for this imperfect world. He had a head full of dark hair, a heart full of light and love, and a brain that was full of smarts but just couldn’t work as hard as we needed it to. We know he will continue to be our guardian angel and will watch over us and any brothers or sisters that might come his way. He will be waiting when it’s our time to see him again, and will let us know about everything we missed out on.

Reese, you gave us the greatest love anyone could ever give. You made us parents, and that will never be taken away. We love you forever, Bub.
