Louis "Louie" Davis

Louis “Louie” Davis, 68, of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away April 6, 2023. He passed peacefully with his loving family by his side. He was born to Arthur and Mary Louise Davis on December 6, 1954, in Brunswick Georgia. He was raised in Darien, Georgia and graduated from Oglethorpe Christian Academy where he was labeled “The best left-handed pitcher in McIntosh County.”

Louie was an outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting (of course never firelight hunting:) fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and riding the river. He was also a Master Craftsman; he could repair anything (he was The True MacGyver).
