Following his family's move to Miami, he graduated from Miami Central High School in June 1974 and went on to earn a degree in Finance from Miami Dade College. Professionally, Davis was known for his roles as a salesman at Burdines Downtown Department Store and as a plumber tech at Miami Shores Plumbing. Both roles showcased his dedication, work ethic, and ability to connect with people around him. A man of faith, Davis was a devoted member of the Church of God of Prophecy both in Detroit and Miami. His belief in community and family was at the core of his character, and his presence was a blessing to all who knew him. Davis was an avid reader, often found immersed in newspapers, magazines, and books, which enriched his understanding of the world. He was a kind and soft-spoken soul, yet strong-willed when it mattered most.
