Thomas Largent Davis

Thomas Largent Davis was born June 11th, 1958, and passed away suddenly on the morning of October 22nd, by natural causes. His legacy will be proudly remembered and joyfully celebrated by the love of his life, Liz, as well as his three children; Jenny, Jackie and Tommy; their respective spouses; Andrew, Trevor, Brooke; Bruce and Wendy Davis; Joe and Annette Davis; Ann Davis; grandchildren; Olivia, Hayes and August, as well as innumerable friends and family.

An occupation in law suited the Baylor graduate. As a natural protector and guardian, he skillfully aided friends, family, and even mere acquaintances with legal disputes. Many will remember Tom as their keeper at some of their most devastating hours. Clients will recall Tom as a brilliant lawyer who brought honor and fairness to his profession.

Outside of his work, Tom was an avid marathoner and traveler. He traveled as far as Alaska and Scotland, but his favorite trips were those to the beach. He was a talented guitarist, and taught those in his life the joy of music. He had been in various bands since high school, including the Fort Worth National Band, for which he served as lead guitarist alongside his brother, Bruce.

He was a man of many great qualities; he was decent, strong, good, but above all else he was kind. He will be fiercely missed and fondly remembered by anyone who knew him.

Due to COVID, the family has requested a private family burial. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please make donations in his honor to North Texas Food Bank or to the Erwin and Pat Elias Scholarship Fund at Baylor Law School. A private family graveside service will be held Thursday, October 29, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Park. A COVID friendly outdoor reception will follow at Sparkman Hillcrest Lakeside Pavilion.
